California, New Hampshire, New York, and iPhone 3G.

July 21st, 2008

Some “sites” and “weblogs” on the series of tubes are talking about the current state of iPhone 3G in ummmm…… The States. The current availabilities as of July 21st, 2008 are as the followings:

What does this tell us? Pleasanton doesn’t care about the Black 16GB iPhone 3G. Meanwhile, New York City and Salem don’t care about White 16GB iPhone 3G.

Where does this post go? What is the meaning of this post? Nowhere and nothing.

Let’s blame AT&T for giving their own current and prospective customers hard times getting the iPhone 3G. Apparently some people were told to pay the unsubsidized price for the iPhone 3G. The worst part is that they are paying for it.

YIKES!

I’ll Give You 110-Percent!

I was listening to Leo Laporte’s The Tech Guy Show and looking at the show notes.

It says:

“Google looses search ground in June.
Google’s share of the web search market is down to 61%. What is that other 49% using?”

Let’s see. 61% + 49% = 110%

I get it, it’s just like Bender who is made of 30% iron, 40% dolomite, 40% titanium and 40% zinc, with a 0.04% nickel impurity.

OK, it’s a typo on Leo’s Show Notes. It might get fixed by now.

Name for a Wireless Network

There are a lot of funny names for Wireless Network. I saw this one and tried to get in, but I don’t know what the password is. I’m unable to join the “therearesomewhocallmetim” wireless network.

Monty Python would be proud.

iPhone Software 2.0: Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi On

Yet another feature from iPhone Software 2.0 confirmed. The Wi-Fi can be turned on in Airplane mode.

What is the practical use of having Wi-Fi on in Airplane mode? Maybe now the iPhone can be used for browsing the internet on the airplane during flight. But the obvious use is to have the iPhone functioning just like an iPod touch, all the Wi-Fi without the phone signal.

If you recently replaced your original iPhone with iPhone 3G, you can now use it as an iPod touch by switching to the Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi on. It saves some battery life not having the iPhone still looking for the GSM signals.

Metallica: “Death Magnetic” Cover Art is Revealed

Metallica has revealed the cover art for “Death Magnetic,” the new album since 2003.

Higher resolution of the cover art can be found at Metallica’s own website.

As pictured above, the cover art depicts magnetic field surrounding a coffin-shaped grave. “Death Magnetic” cover art also marks the return of Metallica’s famous logo with slight alterations that was abandoned since “Load” in 1996, with the exception of “Garage Inc.” which was a facsimile of “Garage Days Re-Revisited” band logo.

As a side notes, some Blabbermouth readers posted funny comments about the cover art.

As previously confirmed, a special edition of “Death Magnetic” will be packaged in a coffin box. The Special Edition Box will include the full CD , a demo CD, “making of the album” DVD, a t-shirt only available in this box, a flag, guitar picks, and a fold out poster along with a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September (details coming soon!). Special Edition contents are subject to change/finalize.
