A Day of Character(s) and iRony
It's the official day of celebrating Martin Luther King, and I am working on my blog for the sake of continuity.
Given that Martin Luther King, was a man trying to show that skin color was a poor criteria for carrier judgement. This article about the man that taught Apple's founder to phreak it has a delicious iRony
Here is the story about Cap'n Crunch Draper.
More iRony. Apple is born when Cap'n Crunch teaches them to make phreaker boards and takes the computer name off when it announces a closed iPhone.
I am cutting and pasting myself and Schuyler’s comments on IM
[16:46] schuylerdeerman: So, do you like the iPhone?
[16:47] alwaysoncarl: I think everybody is looking at it as a phone
[16:47] schuylerdeerman: *laughs*
[16:49] alwaysoncarl: Mac Mini
[16:49] alwaysoncarl: think of the iphone as the upgrade to a mac mini
[16:49] schuylerdeerman: *nods*
I like the apple software alot better than outlook lots of ways to organize myself that i wanted to use but i only owned a mac desktop and apple has not had a pda since merlin if you think of this as a merlin rebirth its cool. But phones are .....POTS
You cant expect sex from a phone. The nokia, the samsung, motorola, LG devices they all are pretty boring [as phones] and cool as devices.
So the bloggers on Jobs case because he did not make voice sexy. Truth is he did a nice job. Slick interface, easy to understand.
From that stand point its a joy. I just wish the cd-rom / dvd could have fit
But it could have be so much more...
A unix box on a phone and vice versa. If this system allows developers into like a mac mini....
We should all learn eclipse and get going on taking advantage of this box phone
Dear Steve
Please let asterisks be in your phone
A pbx on you cell would have all sorts of neat opporutin
You could make it so you can watch your voice mail and IVR interact, make a game to see if you can force telemarketers into an endless loop. And have the IVR menu on the iPhone show where the person is in the que. Only to hear “Go away I don’t want to talk to you.?
Seriously Steve, the iPhone does not deserve the name if you don't enable the end user to play with it.
Remember your Roots! Buy a Whistle.
