News You Can Count On

Are these people crazy or what?

Everything is iPhone, iPhone and more iPhone today as the little bugger arrives in Europe. Scotland Yard cautions new iPhone owners to be aware of theives and con artists who will attempt to relieve them of the little cellular jewel. Many camped out or stood in the rain for hours to get their very own Apple gadget.

T-Mobile, the cell phone services arm of Deutsche Telekom AG, said it has sold more than 10,000 iPhones on the first day of sale in Germany. Customers found that T-Mobile couldn't handle the deluge resulting in the network going down several times. And in England their largest cell phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse, has a stock of 10,000 iPhones on hand and expects to sell out before the close of this business today.

OS/2 whiners are still grumbling in the OS/2 newsgroups. Well, calling them "OS/2" anything is somewhat silly because the majority of them have dumped OS/2 and kissed the butt of Microsoft but it doesn't matter, they are still grumbling about the sad state of eComstation and its lack of a future. eCS v2.0 will be the last and only release of the reanimated cold dead body of OS/2 and that leaves those who ran around proclaiming eComstation as the coming of Christ looking like dimwits with their pants around their ankles. It wasn't as if they weren't warned well in advance. "Whine, whine and more whine" is all you hear from them today.

That's it for now. Come back soon!
