One of the things that helped scare me off the iPhone. I looked at that -- that and the lightsaber thingy, I should note -- and thought, y'know, it's like putting a cute little state-of-the-art paper shredder in my pocket, then every so often taking it out and using it to turn a few dollar bills into so much confetti.

A fuel (sorry couldn't resist) and their money are soon parted.

But sometimes, something is *so* cheesy that you have to get it. And at just $2, I suspect a lot of fools will part with their ca$h.

that the Youtube video links in articles on the reg can be uploaded to a different video hosting site? Am sick of them always being dead and returning "content no longer available" messages, and in this case, within 20 minutes of the story appearing on the reg.

Ta.

I mean you would have to be pretty thick, or a iSheep to actually own one.

LoadingReadyRun once suggested a twist to those fire-place videos by burning secret files in them. :)

Lightsaber is free and my kids love it. I've downloaded quite a few things but I am very picky about what I will pay for. So far that's Super Monkey Ball and an SSH client. FakeCall is good but I got it when it was free. Just as well as I've not yet had a bona fide use for it.

No fule here. No iLogFire either! How about a mocked up pile of iPhones instead of logs - then a few iHaters may decide to take the plunge!

Nah... Just get a decent terminal, log on to a real computer and run aafire!

Surely bashing people who have iPhones because someone is selling something you'd have to be an idiot to buy is a bit rich?

Have you got a TV? Then you're an idiot because QVC sells shite that you'd have to be an idiot to buy on TV.

Interesting you would consider a PC to be a "real computer".....

speaks volumes.

...always watch the Yule Log on christmas. It's awesome. The best part is that this year we have a pellet stove, so we get double the fun!

We also watched, believe it or not, a *documentary on the filming of the Yule Log*. Apparently it was shot at some big hoo-a's house in the mid '60s for a local TV station. Unfortunately they screwed up the shoot the first time, and damn near burned the place down. That's not the take they show, though.

"content no longer available", just seems to do that when you leave it for a while. Refresh the page and the embedded 'tube video will be alright again.

isn't it, how the Jesusphone Apple haters go on and on about whatever is itching their backsides currently and yet the "BIG BOYS" Nokia, Sony, LG, RIM, are copying the iPhone like mad!

'Twas ever thus!
