Breaking: iPhone 3.0 Download link UPDATED: NOT COMPATIBLE.

UPDATE: This is what I get when I attempt to install.

This might be for the iPhone 3GS?

I'm downloading now to confirm.

Download and install at your own risk.  You will need to control+click restore in iTunes to install.

If you find out this is not the firmware please use gooseGrade to the right to correct me. :)

Apple vs. Palm vs. The world. [RANT]

Backstory: Apple filed for the patent on multitouch interfaces for computing devices in 2006. They won it recently. The Palm Pre features a multitouch interface. The fight is on!

I added the world in there because touch screen technology WILL suck for a long time without multitouch technology. I don't think Apple's patent will hold up in court. Multitouch is a software development feature..these screens are OEM anyone can buy them in bulk and they are all capable of doing such things.

Why didn't the OEM obtain this patent? It seems like a fairly obvious use of something they make. Maybe they knew that it was a software patent that wouldn't hold up.

If Apple wins I'll be disappointed. I do have an iPhone. I really like it. I do think that if Multitouch is tied down to Apple the consumer WILL lose. Google and Palm should really step up to this patent and try to win it or else there will never be a true iPhone killer. Which is really bad for business and consumers.

How will the kids be able to play 2 fart sounds with a single touch interface. I'm disgusted.

New Mac Ad, but what does it really say?

First of here's the ad.

Microsoft had a $300 million budget to advertise Windows Vista.  Personally, I loved the windows ads featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.  I think the company should have rode the campaign out, but that's just me.

Ok, so what Microsoft spent $300 on advertising. Big deal they have tons of money for now right?  I would be interested in seeing how much money Apple spent on advertising in comparison to development costs of OS X.  I seriously searched for 30 minutes for all of these answers with no success.

Ehhhh?

ehhhhhh
