So, a few days ago Iran got busted for distributing altered photos that made it look like they were launching more missiles then they actually had. (See below before and after and the original story

Tiny, it's not my art, I just photoshopped in the Apple logo. The actual art is from Twitter's server error page.

That is so cool, did you draw in those strings with the birds? Reminds me of this strange little ditty they used to play on Doordarshan, India's Govt run Television Channel :::link::: (from 3:03 onwards).

iPhone/Cocoa developers are not permitted to ask each other questions on mailing lists or write tutorials about how to do stuff and put that on the web. We can't even meet each other in programming groups to show each other how to do stuff, because Apple could sue us, or even worse, deny us use of the Application store . All because the iPhone SDK is under NDA. Did I mention that anyone with a pulse can get said SDK, and that several hundred thousand people have done so? Or that Apple's competitors have access to the SDK?
I really can't understand how Apple's impeding my ability to write applications for their New Greatest Thing is a strategy for success.

I am totally disapponted by the lack of a terminal/ consol. It is time my first phone, since the sidekick 1 in like 2003, doesn't have a terminal for accessing servers. Even this phone had it yesterday before being in jailbroken for the 2.0 firmware.

Pretty happy so far, except signed up for trial of MobileMe and can't seem to get it activated, so I haven't tried out the over-the-air sync stuff yet (which is what I'm in the end most excited about).
