Firefox has really gotten bad for me as well. At first I thought it was some of the extensions I had installed, but now that I'm starting to hear more and more about problems (Dvorak as well, it seems) I'm starting to think it's a version problem.. I have 4 gigs of ram, for crying out loud, this shouldn't be happening.

It's gotten so sluggish that I only use it for web development, doing most of my recreational surfing using Safari.

That's the point, really. These are all things that can be fixed with a software update so I think they're completely irrelevant to bitch about.

Hardware gripes, on the other hand, are legitimate although i haven't heard any serious ones other than the GSM antenna.

Here's a panoramic shot of the line where I'm waiting.

I think that boycotting anybody by not buying the iPhone is about the lamest activist thing you can do.

It's my opinion that Apple released the iPhone fairly feature light because they had time constraints, not to mention personnel constraints. Heck, they pushed the release of Leopard back to meet the deadline for crying out loud.

I bet they just wanted to focus in on the most essential apps they could, and then add the rest later as software updates. By focus on, I mean make them as bullet-proof and bug free as humanly possible, in true Apple fashion.

Apple has a lot riding on this phone, not the least of which is their stock price. I can guarantee that the rev A iPhones will be virtually free from problems, and that we'll be seeing a hell of a lot of cool apps rolling out for it over the next year.

As far as I'm concerned, any deficiency the iPhone has that's software related is a non-issue, as Apple can upgrade or add applications at their whim if too many people get bent out of shape about something.

That being said, I'm irritated it's not on the 3g network, but hopeful because of early reports that nationwide edge speeds have increased dramatically since last night's updates.

This is a software issue. If a camera can take a picture, it can take many pictures fast to make a movie. It's simply a matter of writing up an app that does it. People have been doing that for years on the homebrew end, adding video functionality to devices that only have still functionality.

I'm in line too, and probably number.. 15 or so. Not bad. I'm on Apple's wifi network, full bars. I'm here with a buddy and we have a couple foldout chairs. It's nice, and because it's in an indoor mall the scenery's not too bad either *wink*

Yeah, I gotta say I'm pretty impressed that it stayed that scratch free. I hate using cases.

I've updated the image. I made the pink titles darker and I added textures from my current design. Check it out here and let me know what you think. Thanks all.

@Mike, I'll be following veerle's method most likely.

@cooper, I knew the pink would be a risk.. I'm gonna darken it.

Thanks for all the opinions.

The design is wide because I plan to make it a liquid layout, so it won't actually ever be too wide for the screen.

I'm going to darken the pink so thanks for that tip.

I'll probably drop one of the colors too.. most likely green.

It's nice that some of you like my current design. The only problem with it is that it's a bit bloated.. I had to use some big images to get that look. I want to move to something cleaner and much lighter in weight, using as much css for the look as I can as opposed to images. Should I maybe include some of the textures from my other site?

I don't know, I don't think anyone can deny the significance of digg. It's the big dog of social networking so it's going to get crap no matter what, but I think it's still a valid resource. I visit it every day and usually find very cool stuff.

Plus getting dugg is great. My top five pc game article got dugg like 3 weeks ago and my visits per day went from like 10-20 to 170-200. Anyone who says digg residual traffic isn't high doesn't know what they're talking about and I have the google analytics screen shots to prove it.

firefox, textmate, and fetch

This is news?

Oh, and I bought the first rev nano, the first rev macbook, the first rev intel imac, and the first rev mac mini, and never had a single solitary problem with any of them.

I suppose, if you think humans are the most important thing in the universe. But understanding how everything works at the atomic level will lead to a much greater understand as to why diseases spread and how they're cured.

I think the way you judge what the best ever is by judging its impact. DNA discover is great, but polio and a host of other diseases were cured before its discovery. Quantum mechanics, however, affects our lives daily. Every time you turn on a radio, computer, light switch, cell phone, x-ray machine, etc., you have quantum mechanics to thank. Not to mention a good 30% of this nation is powered by nuclear reactors. Take a moment to stop and think about that. Up until nuclear power was available, we were relying on pulling energy rich resources out of the earth. Now we have the capability to both power and destroy the entire planet. Best. Discovery. Ever.

Meh. All of these developments pale in comparison to the discovery of the transistor. Without the transistor, I wouldn't be posting this right now and you wouldn't be reading it. Thank John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain.

Outside of that I'd say the development of quantum mechanics is pretty high up there, considering it has the broadest ramifications. The human body is complex, and the discovery of DNA was certainly significant, but when you compare this to the very origins of the universe, I think we're talking about different leagues.

Thank Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Feynman, and Fermi.
