Justice is served.

The cost is said to be around $100 million. Personally, I don’t get Foursquare, but if they do, more power to ‘em.

The chuzpah! The cajones!! The nerve!!! Filthy hacker MuscleNerd used a known iPhone OS exploit to crack the beloved miracle of Jobs and allows him to run third party apps simultaneously and run non-approved apps dirtying it beyond help.

The filthy nerdsylvanian hasn’t published his exploit yet, but apparently it’s easier than trying to regrow hair on Ballmer’s Rogaine resistant scalp.

iPhone cracker-whiz George Hotz is allegedly having his way with an iPad why Moshe’s team triangulates and attempts to pinpoint his location. Names will be taken, fingers crushed, thumbs lost, nothing to see here …

My own RDF? Don't be silly, btw, I'm not really here ...

People have been submitting online to every tech blog (except THIS one) conflicting stories about the Woz sighting on iPad Day. CNET reports on one sort of confused testimony of a FreeBSD developer here, there’s the breathless report of San Jose Mercury News, and other testimony from Tweeters and blogjobbers. The main contention being, Did Woz cut  in line or camp all night and wait with everyone else? Was he even there? Was it all a group hallucination?  Could Woz have hacked an RDF of his own to confuse people for his own amusement? Anything is possible with that oversized hobbit on elevated wheels.

Get a bunch of RSJ stories here.  (I think they took my headline, actually.) Among the selections:

I had 2 encounters with Steve. Both while I was working at Apple.

The first one was when I was driving around IL1 going to the Company Store to get some Apple shwag. I looked down for a second while driving my car looking for parking and when I looked up I had to slam on the breaks because someone stepped out in front of me. I realized after the dirty look I got from him that it was Steve. I hoped he didn’t burn my image into his brain to fire me later.

The second time was during a town hall meeting. When the town hall seating fills up everyone gathers around the screens in the cafeteria, which is where I was. While I was standing there waiting for things to start, I’m noticing the Apple security people checking everyones badges before they come in. A couple minutes later I look over and see Steve walking in next to another lady who is feverishly telling him things (probably about the meeting). Security looks at her badge and let her through, the look at Steve’s waist (most people wear their badge on their belt) and there is no badge there. So the security guard steps in front of him, one side then to the other when Steve tries to side step him. The Lady, realizing shes not talking to anyone anymore steps back and grabs Steve by the arm, looks at the security guard and says “Do you know who this is? THIS is Steve Jobs! Thanks!” and pulls Steve, who has a huge grin on his face, and continues on their way. The security guy wasn’t smiling. I felt kinda bad, but it was funny.

And that’s the word straight from CNET. More right here.

They say that they’ve “led in slates” since discussing them in 2002.  Big difference here, as WSJ points out: Apple’s slate is in stores.  HP’s is on the drawing board.

That in itself is an oxymoron.  Users cannot have complaints because the device itself is perfect in all aspects. Therefore, we chalk it up to user error. The device is so perfect, we have not been able to show it the proper appreciation. Again, user error. Next.

Here’s a treat, a wonderful collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim featuring twenty fabulous performers. It’s all about former shoe collector and Phillipine First Lady Imelda Marcos and the woman raised her. Click on image above for more details. You can purchase it as an iPad/iPod compatible digital download, too of course!
