Tuesday Miscellany

Women are at the frontline on the W. Jezebel just won a Bloggie at SXSW, which, incidently, is where my erstwhile producer Mr John McEvoy is right now, no doubt having a fabulous time.

I have looked in to vicious rumours that O2 would be disabling Wireless LAN on the iPhone, thus rendering it worthless in my opinion, but O2 assure me that this is not true and that maybe some of my friends are just trying to wind me up? (plausible). So, I will indeed be getting mine on Friday.

Sleep is my new Rock and Roll, and my new Black, and my Wonderdrug du jour. I spent the weekend at Carton House and, in between rambling around the grounds and lolling about in a big fluffy bathrobe, I slept, for hours, and hours, and hours. I have not been sleeping enough and it has been wreaking all kinds of havoc.
Oh the heady rush of rest. Sleep, you are my NBF, I have not been spending enough time with you, I realise the error of my ways and will be tucked in earlier more often.
Promise.

High Five to my little Sis who gave me Prince Tickets for my Birthday and informed me today that they have arrived. Yay!

Steve gives a little back to the fans

Hot on the tails of the launch of yet more iPods, a video nano, a 120 gb "classic" and a touch screen iPod that is basically an iPhone without the phone, Apple have announced that they are dropping the price of the iPhone by $200. This, obviously has upset some people. Everyone is used to the price of technology going down, but for it to happen so fast is a bit of a burn.
Don't Panic
After reading every single frustrated email from customers sent in to Apple, CEO Steve Jobs has written an open letter to iPhone owners promising each and every one $100 back!
Granted, this will probably take the shape of an Apple Store voucher so they can console themselves with a shiny new shuffle, but the sentiment is not bad, as long as it doesn't come in a box.

The nano ad features Feist track 1234 and is actually kinda cool!

The iBill

As they say on youtube this is 4real, the bill, by the way, was about $274 but most of that was new customer charges, activation fees taxes etc........ The problem seems to be that AT&T detail every single thing......ouch
