price?

Elvis, what were your reasons for dropping DF?

Simple attrition. I was trimming things back in my RSS reader and couldn't come up with a reason to keep reading DF. If there's something worth reading over there, usually someone else I read will link to it.

fair enough

david foster wallace posted to ILX?

not finding an article about iPhone 4 that suits my needs - fuckin scarcity

look at this madness:

http://techmeme.com/

dfw otm imo

ksh, stop polluting your cerebellum with that shit.

read ilx instead!

You don't read Techmeme? What's another good place to get tech news? :-/

pitchfork.com

seriously tho, how much more news do you need about this

you don't need tech news. take a holiday for two weeks, catch up with your blogs in one day, see how much of it actually mattered. cross-post to you posting that wired article.

Are they ever going to release an iphone with more than 50 gb hard drives? Want to eventually replace my 80 gb ipod...

yeah, you're right caek -- (which Wired article, btw?)

atlantic monthly: is GOOGLE making us STOOPID?

dude, stop reading your blogs!

which one of you posted this? http://www.metafilter.com/92604/Why-wont-you-call-your-mother-and-let-her-see-you

that dfw post is linked

hahahaha @ caek

dude i read a lot of blogs & other bs online -- i am 100% part of the problem :-/

Not that I read him very much anyway but this did it for me:

yeah, i think i linked that. great days.

blogging is important

the annoying thing about that is i assume he would be opposed to conservative policies based on his occasional post about U.S. politics, but he's convinced himself that his congratulations are meaningful. not like he literally believes david cameron got the message. more that if he doesn't acknowledge this news with a post (or "essay" as he probably calls them) then his readers will not hear about it.

I really have no idea why he'd link to something like that either, tbh.

I don't think he actually believes "that if he doesn't acknowledge this news with a post (or "essay" as he probably calls them) then his readers will not hear about it," though. Not sure what his posting it means; I'd have to think about it more than I want to, really.

That video is horrible. I mean I'm a fanboy, but godddamn I want to punch everyone in it in the face.

xp, no, you're right. its more the assumption that his opinion on this issue will be of interest to sentient adults

Yeah, I think you're hitting on something there -- there really is no rationale for a post like that to end up on DF. Sure it's his personal blog, but it's clearly a blog of a particular type, and a post like that has way more to do with his signaling stuff about himself than it does about saying anything useful.

totes.

still he just posted this, which cheered me up http://www.flickr.com/photos/gruber/4680380848/

also looks like iBooks is no longer glaring white

I hate how in the iBooks app, it is made to look like a book, with the stacked pages on the side, and the shadow leading to the center crease. I want ebooks, because it doesn't have those distractions. I don't want to replicate the act of reading a real book, I want to eliminate the visual distractions. Kindle app is much better.

but can ibooks do quotes and apostrophes properly now?

re: gruber on tories, think he's being sarcastic: the "unusual elections" he's comparing it to
must be 2000/2004 not 2008. of course you might still think he should stfu.

Why can't pre-order yet?

June 15th, isn't it?

New Safari's out. Has Reader which is pretty nice (same as Readability bookmarklet basically) and extensions. Can't make any, need a "safari developer certificate". Here we go again.

anyone know what options someone might have if they got an iPhone at the AT&T store yesterday?

(lulz etc but a friend did this yesterday without consulting me. i know if you order from apple in a two-week window before you get obsoleted they'll usually let you exchange but i'm not sure what the deal would be in this case)

all I know is that I eligible for the upgrade price. how to shot selling current phone in ebay

idk but o2 in the UK is offering £197 or something to recycle an iPhone 3G so that probably makes an iPhone 4 almost free w/ contract.

thanks for the Safari 5 heads up -- downloading now

how to shot selling current phone in ebay

Not selling my old EDGE iPhone - as soon as I get a new iPhone, my old one gets jailbroken and consigned to drum machine/synthesizer duty.

Load of developer updates going up, including iTunes 9.2. Also release notes say the iPhone 4 doesn't use Helvetica anymore. (cheers cheers)

hopefully iphone4 will distract everybody from ipad 3g and let some stock build up

So the "Reader" functionality in Safari 5 is basically Instapaper?
