Commented on AT&T logo improvement
With that logo, it wouldn't hurt if Reptilian alien invaders ate a few fascist executives, either. :) If they could be lunch as a consequence, the secret police thing might be less appealing. :)...

One thing on electronic subscriptions - even though similar in price to the US - they are several times cheaper for those in other countries. Also, given the hopelessness of the US post office recently and price rises, even more...

Mister N commented on Apple's censors remove NiN app and Anda's Game from iPhone store, citing "objectionable content"
I was thinking of buying an i phone. The main reason the apps and I really wanted to try out the NIN app since I thought it was modern and revolutionary. It was the first app on my list to download. Now.. I am not sure at all. If Apple is going to regulate ( power control trip )the content then there's no way I am locking myself in a 3 year contract and buying their phone. Nicely done Apple, way to swoosh away your potential customers....

raja99 commented on Apple's censors remove NiN app and Anda's Game from iPhone store, citing "objectionable content"
A friend of mine referred me to this page a few days ago. As of mid-August 2009, both the NiN app and Anda's Game are available as free downloads in the store; I've actually downloaded both. I like Anda's Game (though the navigation confused me at first); I haven't tried NiN yet. With the release of iPhone OS 3.0 (June 17 according to the Wikipedia), Apple put parental controls in place; you can turn them on and hand the phone to your kid, then turn them off when you get the phone back. I've found that useful; I'd rather my...
