Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Hey. New board.

I will be sticking with me new Treo 680 and my normal iPod video for the foreseeable future, but that is PURTY.

Is Apple not planning on selling it unlocked like Palm sells the Treos? I hate contracts. And it would be fun to see people try to get it working well with T-Mobile, since it's the only other GSM service in the US.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apple's stock price is up over 7% right now.

Palm and RIM (Blackberry) are each down 6%.

Hey. New board.

I knew I should have bought some apple stock yesterday... I was at the website and everything. But then I didn't. Sigh.

I'd want to hear how well the interface really works. It looks cool, but sometimes buttons are a good thing. This is all theoretical for me though as I wouldn't really use the thing enough to buy it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Time to start the betting pool on Who Will Be The First Buffista To Order One.

I put 5 Siamese on ND, and for good measure, 2 Sphynxes on tommyrot and 2 Maine Coons on Scola.

I won't be able to get one for a while. I just signed a 2-year Sprint contract a few months ago.

Re: Battery Life. A quote from Macworld -

"The iPhone features a battery that lasts for five hours of talk time, video or Web page browsing, or 16 hours of audio playback."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

5 hours of talk or video would be ok for me - but DH would be chargeing the thing constantly - he lives on the phone.

Yep. Also whether it's an international phone or not -- I'm not spending $500 on something I can't travel with.
