I was pre-ordering an iPod shuffle and found out I don’t get my Pi/2 A9 discount anymore, I went to their help section and this was on top of their FAQs… No reason to use A9 search engine then, heh…
What happened to Instant Rewards? A9 has discontinued the A9 Instant Reward Program.

So with the trademark registrations and stuff, iPhone is for real… well… hopefully they would release a CDMA version, but I highly doubt that given their previous relationship with Cingular… I am sorta a Apple fanboy, but for me to get one It has to have EvDO, a kickass camera, full “smartphone” features such as a real browser, a QWERTY keyboard, kickass chat-like SMS app, office apps, pdf viewer, image viewer, good email client with IMAP-SSL support, Outlook/Exchange/Scalix over-the-air sync for mails, calendars, contacts, tasks, and it would be nice to have an SDK to write my own apps (so we can have a native Google map like I can on my Treo)… I assume iSync would support it to sync with AddressBook and i{Cal,Tunes,Photo} so I probably won’t need Missing Sync anymore. I don’t care about windoze users, but to be commercially successful they would also have to support Outlook sync and what not, which is annoying coz Outlook royaly sucks.
Well, I would be really surprised if the first iPhone thinggie would satisfy all my requirements… As much as I hate how unstable my Treo 700p is, it is awesome when it works and I actually depend on it like crazy…

Chuck Maddox wrote a very entertaining post at his watch blog, I love this part:
All a Tachymetre bezel is a scale that divides the 3600 (the number of minutes (60) times the number of seconds (60) = 3,600) by the number of seconds to generate a “Units per Hour” indication. The number would be the same if measuring Kilometre’s, miles, or furlongs. Why anyone would do a conversion when one is not necessary is confounding.

these are superfuture member kumo’s APC NS, 4 months, no wash. Those are some insanely nice honeycombs! Mine are about 4 months of actual wear since I alternated between my RRDS and APC, but my ‘combs are nowhere defined like those!! I even starched the first 2 months or so, but got lazy at the end.
Also I now kindda wish I let them bunched up instead of cuffing them… 😉

This is cool, and most people don’t realize most of these ads and prints are heavily PS’ed and how much professional stylists and MUAs can do.
I also need to get better in PS. 😉

“Basically, Jonathan wanted to meet girls,” said Mark Pincus, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who provided Abrams with seed money at the end of 2002. “He told me himself, he started Friendster as a way to surf through his friends’ address books for good-looking girls.”

I’ve observed a tendency for digital photographers to just take what their cameras hand them. Folks put up on-line galleries of their digital photographs for comment, critique, and simple enjoyment, but it’s rare for those photographs to be anything different from what they downloaded from the camera.These folks are unconsciously operating much the same way slide film photographers did (more correctly, were forced to). Unless they are intentionally trying to present the world entirely as the camera saw it, this is a profound artistic mistake.

Ctein raised a very good point, I almost never do a straight RAW to jpeg conversion and then share my pics, I at least adjust the raw converter settings, adjust the curve, some slight USM, USM after downsizing, and for pics with people in them I do some very minor touchups. And these steps are for snapshots only. I spend a lot of time in post-processing when I do more serious photoshoots. It bothers me when I see people with fancy gears on Flickr posting very mediocre straight-from-camera images, some of these are so bad that they wouldn’t even be kept on my memory card after instant preview. And most of these guys shoot JPEGs, which is completely insane now when memory cards are so cheap. I am not encouraging people to overprocess your images, but at least do enough to get more out of the captured frames.
