Just don’t hold your phone

OK so there is some tech buzz going around I just have to comment on. First, the domain extension .xxx was approved. This as you could imagine is a domain reserved for adult content. So as a warning if you see a website that ends in .xxx do not click the link. What does that mean? If you see something like: Check out www.mcblog.xxx for a free virus scan! Unfortunately, the domain is just an additional place to put porn, not a required place to put porn. So you could still find a lot of junk at .com, .net, etc domains. What would be great is for all porn to be required to be located at a .xxx address. Then you could just block those domains and feel pretty good about surfing the net.

Next is this phone. The iPhone 4 came out yesterday. Apparently the phone loses signal completely or really bad when you hold it in your left hand connecting the two sides of the antenna with your flesh. OOPS! Here’s the part that made me have to blog about it, Steve Jobs responded with “Non issue. Just avoid holding it in that way.”
WHAT!!! That’s it!? That’s your response!? Hey thanks for forking out all the money for this cool thing, and you can’t hold it in your left hand because then it’s not cool. I just don’t understand people! I mean if the best phone on the planet, the EVO 4G had some problem that made it so you can’t hold it in your right hand, I would have to tell everyone that it is no longer the best phone available anymore. Sorry that’s a game changer when the PHONE CAN”T ACT AS A PHONE WHILE BEING HELD IN YOUR HAND!!!! Helllooooooo!!!!??? I know we have lots of Apple fans that read this, and I have tons around me at work, someone please explain this. Tell me you aren’t still willing to fight me to the death that the iPhone is the best phone. OK I’m gonna breath now. -source
