Thursday February 21, 2008 | Stupid iPhone Commercial | Computers |
The latest iPhone commercial tells me it's great to have an iPhone because I can "see the trail map while I'm on the mountain."
Really?
I feel so foolish carrying around that free paper map!
<sarcasm>
When I'm sitting on a chair lift, 50 feet over deep snow and wearing bulky gloves, my first inclination is to take out my $600 iPhone to look at the trail map. After I drop it, I'm sure that, in four months after the snow has melted, the friendly hikers bears who find it will return it to me.
</sarcasm>
Also, does anyone really expect to get 5 bar signal strenth and WiFi at the top of a mountain?
This is almost as bad as Bryce, the pilot, who had the tower move up his plane's departure time because he could see weather maps on his phone.

Wednesday June 20, 2007 | Oxymoron With YouTube on iPhone? | Computers |
Lots of press today about YouTube on the iPhone, but am I reading too much into the actual press release? It states that iPhone™ users will be able to enjoy YouTube’s originally-created content on their iPhones. To me, YouTube and originally-created content are oxymoronic. Has YouTube created anything original w.r.t content? Isn't it all uploaded by users and media companies?
I'm probably wrong, and that press release was just badly worded, but wouldn't it awesome if on June 29th the only thing iPhone users could watch was a couple of videos of the YouTube engineering staff waving hello at the camera?
