"FlashGordon: @ aligncare i would ask you to prove him right first. This guy goes in front of millions portraying an undeniably warped perspective of reality, he has been proven to distort facts on so many occasions it would be laughable except that it's just not funny. While I have many problems with the shortcomings of the news media, it has become increasingly clear to me that news should not be entertainment, the audience that fox caters to expressly watches fox because it plays to their emotions. 3 days ago FlashGordon: While many media outlets attempt to do this fox has gone above and beyond the rest. Glen Beck is just another in a series of miscreants employed by Rupert Murdoch, a man in the business of selling advertising via entertainment, not news. 3 days ago FlashGordon: Glenn Beck gives me an upset stomach because he brazenly attempts to lead his viewers in a misguided attempt to liberate his followers from the "socialistic" or "corrupt" aspects of a democratically run government in light of his perception of "America" which frankly, does not exist."

"Bill Moyers' Journal, gay-bashing edition Of all the second acts in American public life, none has amazed me more than that of Bill Moyers. He spent the first decade of his adult life as one of Lyndon Johnson's dirtiest henchmen. His work on Johnson's vicious 1964 presidential campaign is probably worth an entire book by itself: Moyers helped thwart the seating of an integrated delegation from Mississippi at the 1964 Democratic National Convention, and asked the FBI to investigate 15 members of the Senate staff of Johnson's opponent, Barry Goldwater. Other lowlights include Moyers giving the FBI the okay to spread dirty stories about Martin Luther King's sex life, and his ongoing role spinning fanciful tales about the war in Vietnam as Johnson's press secretary from 1965 to 1967. Yet somehow none of that has stopped Moyers from posing as the conscience of the American press for most of the past four decades, mostly in various screechy PBS shows. Without any apparent sense of irony,...

At a covert forward operating base run by the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, members of an elite division of Blackwater are at the center of a secret program in which they plan targeted assassinations of suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, "snatch and grabs" of high-value targets and other sensitive action inside and outside Pakistan, an investigation by The Nation has found. The Blackwater operatives also assist in gathering intelligence and help run a secret US military drone bombing campaign that runs parallel to the well-documented CIA predator strikes, according to a well-placed source within the US military intelligence apparatus. The source, who has worked on covert US military programs for years, including in Afghanistan and Pakistan, has direct knowledge of Blackwater's involvement. He spoke to The Nation on condition of anonymity because the program is classified. The source said that the program is so...

@Ron, I agree. I wonder how much they earn from this plan and how much they loose over cracked apps which, one would consider purchasing if he/she didn't already have a jailbreaked iPhone. And of course the negative impact on company reputation. Is it really worth it?

I enabled video recording on my 3G and it sucked, so I got the 3GS and I'm pretty happy with the quality. A video recorder isn't just a basic application. It requires a proper camera system that the 3G didn't have, pobably because AT&T's network couldn't handle iPhone video uploading bandwidth until now. Remember: gadgets have become symbiotic, depending largely (or entirely, in some cases) on wireless networks to power many of their features.

@David, a video recorder could be quite acceptable without uploading options. Or they could enable upload over WiFi only. Or instead of the requirement of buying their new tool, they could handle it with a software update like they did in MMS, if carrier limits is the subject. Of course with a proper hardware put inside in the beginning. You know anyone could pay a few extra bucks for the recorder hardware. Nice picture by the way. Did you do it on befunky.com?

@Barış Mert Gezer The "closed garden" approach is, I think, starting to turn people off to Apple and creating a market for alternatives, ie, "Jail breaking." Not sure who's really behind this Apple or A.T.&T.? The fact that this phone is still attached to only one carrier is causing Apple business and hurting them, imho! Its on multiple carriers outside of the US, so why not here?
- Ron Thompson
@Baris: No, they can't update video recording in the 3G because it's more than just software. Video recording requires a proper camera hardware and mechanism that the 3G doesn't have. It's why video from jailbroken 3G phones still looks like crap, because the system can't capture much more than 10-15 fps.

@David, I tried to say that they could put the appropriate hardware and people would pay a few more bucks (I edited my prev. comment to make it more clear). I mean it's obvious that this is a marketing strategy and customers didn't like it this way. At the end of the day it's just a business, but this time a lot of people feels like sold down the river.

"On Monday, October 26, The United Coalition of Reason launched a “Good without God” campaign to raise the visibility of local nontheistic groups in communities across the country. Their billboards, big white lettering against a background of a fluffy-clouded sky, ask “Are You Good Without God?” The answer: “Millions are.” It's like a kinder, gentler Atheist Bus campaign. The CoR campaign ties into the release of Greg Epstein’s book Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe. Epstein, the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University, is planning a 12-city tour, coordinated with United CoR. He also plans to participate in community service projects in many of the cities, as part of “Secular Service Day,” an idea designed “to unite secular groups across the country in the interest of public service, and to demonstrate our commitment to leading full and ethical lives.”"
