Between my various hobbies, it's surprising I never bought one. A couple of weeks ago I found one on eBay and snagged it. Yesterday, it finally arrived via donkey express, i.e. USPS Parcel Post.

I don't smoke, and I don't really find the smell of clove cigarettes pleasant. That being said, I'm 100% against the ban. The excuses provided by the FDA for the ban are complete fluff and without merit.

The reasons behind the rejections are generally silly, and further indicate that the iPhone is a poor platform for development.

One particular annoyance hit home last night and inspired me to write this rant. Yes, this has all been covered before by others, but I must rant about my poor choice of a phone that promised such greatness.

It's really handy to be able to yell at everyone through the speakers on their phones every once in a while. One of our techs wanted the CallerID to be a bit more obvious when it's a page so that he'd know not to answer the phone with a, "Hello?"

I have a love-hate relationship with AOL's spam reporting system. First off, we actually get reports! That being said, they do a few annoying things with the reports as you'll see after the break.
