Apple seems to have missed the memo that there is a recession on:
“The New York Times’ Brad Stone reports that Apple announced boffo earnings for the just-concluded third quarter: Net income was up to $1.67 billion, a 47 percent increase over the comparable quarter last year. The company sold more computers — 3.05 million — [...]
CNET writer Elinor Mills has been having trouble with using her iPhone in the AT&T network recently, and decided to do something about it. It seems to be happening especially in cities, where AT&T’s systems are overtaxed and can’t handle the call and data volume.

Someone I know has terrible luck with iPhones – first his 3G got cracked in the screen, and then when he reverted to his old first-gen, the touch screen stopped working, but only at the bottom where it says “slide to unlock.”

Touch screens that track two fingers will soon seem basic. At least if you compare them with the multitouch-sensor ClearPad 3000 Series, recently announced by Santa Clara, Calif.-based Synaptics.
The transparent sensor tracks up to 10 simultaneous finger touches–we assume that should cover most uses–making possible complex multifinger gestures such as closing an application by “crumpling” [...]
Secrecy at Apple has often been likened to that of the CIA. We’ve heard plenty of stories about Apple employees getting fired for leaking secrets, but imagine how much pressure is on the company’s partners to keep products hush hush. A Chinese publication reports that a 25-year-old employee of Foxconn, who manufactures Apple’s iPhones in Taiwan, [...]
Do you find yourself craving the latest iPhone, Blackberry, or the new Pre? Take a moment and ask yourself why. Why do you want that new toy? How much do you know about it besides “it’s cool, has a touch screen, and checks my email”?
