The best part of this whole thing was that after I spent 5 minutes scouring the apartment for a paperclip to open the sim card slot with, I realized Apple was way ahead of me.

Apple Paperclip
I wish they'd ship one of these with the Apple remote too:
While we're waiting for the iPhone
I think this is already available in the UK:
The iPoor is the most gorgeous and simple phone ever created. Its beautiful, colourful outer casing is bound to turn heads. The huge pink antenna is not only attractive but functional, providing an astonishing 25 foot range.
Good news for .mac users coming
As part of Tuesday's announcements it would seem. Apple .Mac Welcome:
Due to scheduled maintenance, .Mac members might be intermittently unable to access some .Mac services from 10 AM to 12 PM PDT on 08/07/2007. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Whatever it is, it can't come soon enough.
Thai Police about to start a new fashion trend
I want to wear a Hello Kitty armband too. Let people guess what I've done wrong.
"This is to help build discipline. We should not let small offences go unnoticed," Police Colonel Pongpat Chayapan told Reuters news agency.
"Guilty officers will be made to wear the armbands in the office for a few days, with instructions not to disclose their offences. Let people guess what they have done," he said.

Kill switch
There's a storm coming:
So the radio-controlled robots were retooled, for greater safety. In the past, weak signals would keep the robots from getting orders for as much as eight seconds -- a significant lag during combat. Now, the SWORDS won't act on a command, unless it's received right away. A three-part arming process -- with both physical and electronic safeties -- is required before firing. Most importantly, the machines now come with kill switches, in case there's any odd behavior. "So now we can kill the unit if it goes crazy," Zecca says.
Thanks to Ray Kurzweil for the heads up.

The Game's Up
The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: Damn, I am so busted, yo:
Well it had to happen. Honestly I can't believe it's taken this long. But as you may have heard, I've been busted by a newspaper reporter. My cover has been blown. Guy named Brad Stone, who works for the New York Times. Have you heard of him? Well, tip of the hat to you, Brad Stone. You did the sleuthing. You put the pieces of the puzzle together. You went through my trash, hacked into my computer, and put listening devices in my home. Now you've ruined the mystery of Fake Steve, robbing thousands of people around the world of their sense of childlike wonder. Hope you feel good about yourself, you mangina.
Grounded, but undiminished
A wonderful, moving portrait of a man who was a hero to me as a 7-year-old in Lane DeGregory's St. Petersburg Times story. Daredevil Evel Knievel comes back to earth:
These days, he says, he doesn't need an adrenaline rush. "The most joy I get now is waking up and wrapping my arms around my wife," he says. "But sometimes she sleeps way over on the other side of the bed and it's hard to get to her. Especially with the dogs between us."
