iPhone Annoyances #11

30Sep07

I ordinarily reject more calls than I answer — one of the benefits of being an asshole — but iPhone has stymied my anti-social tendencies by not making it obvious how to do so. On every other phone ever made you just press the End button but iPhone has just one button and End it […]

iPhone Annoyances #10

Bluetooth is for phone calls only. No sync’ing. No beaming. Can’t even listen to music.

Dear Podcasters,

22Sep07

Please put a microphone on each of your guests. If you are not equipped to record from multiple microphones, please be so kind as to place yourself and your guests at roughly equal distances from the microphone so that your voice does not overpower all others — and I especially direct this towards Robert Scoble, […]
