Bela Black Strikes Back

This awe-some cake is just making my stomach rumble! Look at the neat icing work and the clever screen cap of a txt file from Mac’s built in voice-actress robot Victoria saying ‘You are my hero, Thank You’.

I have been watching these creations for a while now and I am going to try out my cake skills on the next holiday.

GUANGZHOU, China — An employee at a factory that makes iPhones in China killed himself after a prototype went missing, and Apple Inc. responded Wednesday by saying its suppliers are required to treat workers with dignity and respect.

Sun was responsible for sending iPhone prototypes to Apple, and on July 13 he reported that he was missing one of the 16 fourth-generation units in his possession, the newspaper reported. His friends said company security guards searched his apartment, detained him and beat him, the paper reported.

The prototype was later found in the hands of Apple enthusiast Edward Green of Munich, Germany. He claimed to have purchased it on craigslist from some guy out of Africa, “they paid me to take it” he stated – “all I had to do was cash a few travelers checks and send 75% of the money back, I still can’t believe it!”.

Has anyone else been late for an appointment due to iPhone’s sketchy ass alarm?

I have atleast 3 times.

Yes I know what my timezone is, its -5 GMT Eastern Standard (duH). Yes I know if you cut the silent button on it won’t work (duH!). And yes it normally DOES work, but guess what? WHen you don’t plug it in, sometimes it doesn’t go off, like Today and two other times it hasn’t went off. Whats the deal with this? Some magical combination of settings when the power is not plugged in is causing the fucking alarm NOT TO GO OFF! So Apple stop stifling and release 3.0 you dirty bastards! I’m hoping the alarm will be reliable THEN.

I’ve spent years searching for the perfect cell phone.  I’ve smashed, dunked and lost many predecessors in my search for the perfect cell phone.

And no… Apple isn’t paying me for this article.

I actually DO love my iPhone.

 

I’ve heard so many people bashing the iPhone but everyone who actually owns one (that I know), loves it. And I agree there are some less desirable attributes but that comes with ANY relationship.  I’ve basically summed that up to their inability to conceive the idea of spending so much for a ‘cell phone’, their limited knowledge or their inability to utilize all of its wonderful features.

Why do I love my iPhone so much?

1. I can email anyone, anywhere at anytime using any email account I choose.

2. I can google anything anywhere.

3. I get to see my friends wonderful pictures when they call on a full screen.

4. I can customize any ring tone and add it to the contact, which does includes funeral march on my phone - you know who you are !

5. 3g apps Rock!

6. The touch screen is fabulous. Demo Here.

7.  I can talk through the included headphones – no need to purchase additional Bluetooth

8.  The tons and tons of endless aps & games I can install, wait I already said that.

9.  Instant youtube access on demand.

10.  I can use it to run the internet through to my laptop.
