Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.4, Safari stops updating the bookmarked RSS feeds. The 10.5.4 update includes Safari 3.1.2 for Leopard.
Previously, to fix the problem I deleted the “Syndication” folder inside my “Library” folder.
I deleted the RSS bookmarks and adding them again, but it still doesn’t fix the problem.
I have not tested this with Safari 3.1.2 on Windows and on Tiger.
June 29th, 2007.
It was 18:00 hour at local time, the Apple Store reopened to welcome the marauding gangs of Apple enthusiasts. They had been waiting for hours just to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars for the covetted iPhone. Yeah, it has been a year since the release of the iPhone. Technically it has been 366 days since the iPhone first went on sale, thanks to the leap year.
Anyway, I walked into an Apple Store for an appointment at the Genius Bar. I brought an iPhone that I purchased 366 days prior. The vibrate module has apparently fallen off. One of the “Geniuses” called my name and tended to my iPhone need. He looked at the dents and scratches on the iPhone and let a little laugh escape. I could only replied: “I know, but what can you do for me?”
I immediately asked: “Can you confirm if this iPhone is still under Warranty?”
He then answered: “As of today, no iPhone is out of warranty yet.”
That’s when I was pleasantly surprised. Apple initially set the term of their warranty as 365 days/year. Thanks to the wonderful leap year, the 365th day from June 29th 2007 falls on June 27th, 2008. Apple has been nice enough to rectify this situation by making the 1 year term involving February 29th as 366 days.
Anyway, it was a no brainer to verify hat the iPhone no longer vibrates. Not long after, I walked out with a perfectly functioning iPhone, courtesy of Apple Genius Bar.
When July 11 2008 comes, I know where I’ll be. Back at the Apple Store, picking up at least an iPhone 3G.
Well, I still have my original iPhone, and now my friend has a new iPhone. Did I mentioned that it was actually my friend’s iPhone? Yes I did buy the iPhone, but my friend paid for it. I have my own.
short version which will be updated later with a longer version because this one is really bugging me.
Blah blah blah iPhone 3g blah blah Canada, blah blah blah Rogers.
Rogers reveals iPhone 3G plan for Canada. No unlimited wireless data plan.
The series of tubes explodes with anger. iPhone 3G + Rogers = Screw You Canadian.
blah blah blah, tell Steve Jobs about it blah blah blah.
——-
Compared to AT&T plan for the iPhone 3G in the United States, the Canadian seems to get the shor end of the stick.
The main question is, why the revolt now? What about the Blackberry data plan? It was even more horrible than the iPhone 3G data plan.
The iPhone 3G can stir things up better than the Blackberry. Where’s the revolt against the Blackberry data plan? Blackberry + Rogers = Screw You Canadian
All in all, the wireless data plans in Canada are horrible to begin with. That has nothing to do with the iPhone 3G. Is the iPhone 3G plan any better than before. It seems to be that way, but what do I knwo. I’m still trying to figure it out reading Rogers site.
In clonclusion, blah blah blah iPhone 3G blah blah blah Steve Jobs blah blah blah Apple blah blah blah Rogers screws customers regardless.
