Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't feel the need to upgrade. Yet.

I was expecting a price drop, but I was hoping it would be bigger models with the price drop in the form of allowing phone company subsidies. Because then I could've talked myself into waiting until next time I qualify for a phone upgrade. Straight-up cheaper makes me much more oosty.

Yeah, at that price point, I think I'll be waiting in a line outside an Apple store on the evening of July 10th.

another pricing note: 16GB nouveau iPhone = 8GB Touch. Ouch! (But I suspect it'll mean bigger/cheaper touches right soon)

Oh, and in my continuing printer woes --

Even with the new Brother print drivers update, I have not been able to print. I have resorting in desperation to completely deleting the Brother print drivers from my computer.

Can somebody now please tell me how to reload that update?

Harumph.

So, does anyone have a link to what providers the iPhone is going to work with? I'm guessing it's just AT&T again, right?

They didn't mention any changes there, and they've been pretty strongly wedded to the whole exclusive deal thingy as they start service in new countries -- so my guess is that they'll stick with AT&T for some time.

Yup, Gizmodo confirms AT&T's exclusivity;
