iPhone no longer serves its purpose
I love my iPhone.
It’s a first gen, I bought it the day after launch. It’s served me well for much longer than a standard cel phone would.
However today, it failed miserably. Don’t get me wrong, it has short comings and fails often. But today’s was inexcusable.
Apparently I received a call at the same time an app (my ebay app specifically) decided to push an update. My phone half rang, and by the time I picked it up, the only alert on the screen was from eBay letting me know a saved search had new items.
Cut to: 4 hours later, wondering what happened to the expected call (that I now know was killed by the alert) and I text the person who confirms the call attempt, but that it wasn’t answered, so I lost my window.
Thanks a lot Apple. Here is a hint: its called an iPHONE. The phone, while seems to be pushed to the bottom, is the PRIMARY function of this device still. When some useless alert from an app overrides a phone call, we have a problem. Maybe look into that. And for the love of tech, just put flash on the iPad. I don’t need it on my iPhone, but the iPad SUCKS without flash.

New iPhone is SEXY.
Apple, this almost makes up for the adobe crap. Almost.
Apple – THANK YOU for TimeMachine
Holy shit. Thank god for automatic backups. Adobe Flex just deleted the entire content of my main web folder, killing my main site files back to 1997. 17.2 gig worth of HTML and flash files…. holy shit.
1. Fuck you adobe.
2. Thank you apple.
