When we stood in line for our iPhones (yes, me and hubby each got one - not rich, just determined technerds), there was a lady who didn't even know why she was in line. If you're going to stand in line for hours (two in our case) at least know why you're standing in that line, for Zeus' sake.This Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693986460438320558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-69516065636730516142007-07-03T08:35:00.000-07:002007-07-03T08:35:00.000-07:00Update: Bill Gates butt looks fuzzy on Steve Jobs'...Update: Bill Gates butt looks fuzzy on Steve Jobs' iPhone. Maybe better lighting would help?<BR/><BR/>From MacWorld:<BR/><BR/><I>Apple provides next to no information about the features of the iPhone's camera--and for good reason. It's a 2-megapixel camera phone with all the limitations of any other camera phone. There's no flash and no zoom, and though the entire screen becomes the viewfinder (making pictures look great), it does a poor job of capturing motion or images in low-light conditions.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-8614326930757560572007-07-03T05:34:00.000-07:002007-07-03T05:34:00.000-07:00I love your blog again.....just embrace it..I love your blog again.....just embrace it..Lai Yinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448285319268320753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-54155649540503541562007-07-03T05:32:00.000-07:002007-07-03T05:32:00.000-07:00I love your blog...keep it up.
