Internets. Heh.

P.S Game (as in game.com.au)'s sale is better. In-store only like EB, though.

Look at the corners of the results box. Look at them. It's more
prominent in the top two corners than it is the bottom, but you can
clearly see the edge of the box.

Frankly, it's refreshing to know that even Apple, the masters of all
things polished to within an inch of it's life, can make the
occasional mistake.

It came from the takeaway at my local shopping centre - it's called the super burger, and it came with a 150g meat patty, egg, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and, had I told them not to hold it, beetroot as well.

The meat was definitely undercooked - looked okay on the outside, but was very rare on the inside. I didn't go back and complain out of sheer laziness, but I'll be giving them another chance pretty soon (hey, I might even go back today).

Other than that, it was pretty darn nice. A little expensive, maybe, but pretty darn nice.

Really, it is!

Maybe its because the iPhone now feels more like an iPad, with it's extra-spaced homscreen icons and custom homescreen wallpaper, but now I kinda understand all those horrible Winterboard themes that used to pop up in the bad old jailbreaking days, when people were more obsessed about customizing their iPhones to within an inch of their lives.

Not that I'm against jailbreaking - nay, I had to jailbreak to get the custom wallpaper you see here. Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decided that 3G users weren't cut out for custom homescreen wallpapers, or a frigging rotation lock - no multitasking I can understand, what with the iPhone 3G's lack of RAM and all that, but it's the 3GS battery percentage fiasco all over again - Apple denying features just because they want you to upgrade.

Thanks to my jailbreak, Apple's so called "walled garden" is significantly lessened - I'll have my custom homescreen wallpapers, Apple-implemented rotation lock, and damn battery percentage, thank you very much.

Downsides so far? There's a (not unexpected, mind you) performance hit. What is surprising, however, is the fact that the main performance hit doesn't come from multitasking (at least, not in my limited testing, more on this later), but from the custom homescreen wallpaper.

Yes, you read that right - running multiple apps has less of a performance hit than having a static image displayed behind your icons.

Multitasking on the 3G has proved to be not too bad - while I am rebooting my device more than usual due to applying the combination of custom homescreen with or without multitasking, running Twitter, Settings, Instapaper, and Articles as well as Messages saw no real performance decrease - it really was no different to closing and re-opening the app from the homescreen, ala 3.x, apart from the fact that all apps now seem to employ some kind of state-saving - perhaps this is due to the fact that no apps truly support multitasking yet?

Having a custom homescreen wallpaper, on the other hand, saw a more noticeable decrease in overall snappiness, particularly when swiping between homescreen, opening folders, and even unlocking the phone. While it was definitely noticeable, it wasn't molasses-slow; for now, I'll be keeping this feature on because it just adds so much more to the iPhone experience. It sounds kinda weird, but it's true. Imagine if your iPad had a static black wallpaper...

Bonus points if you can name where the custom homescreen wallpaper comes from..

Spotted at UTas.

Alternate title: showing off your feminine side? I will see your pink shirt and raise you a flower-ridden flat sheet.

People call those things "flat sheets", right? The piece of linen that goes between you and the quilt? To provide extra warmth in the cold winter months? To give you that extra layer to keep the warm air from escaping? To construe really long sentences (or in this case, a paragraph of questioning statements) which serve no purpose other than comic relief and simultaneously a demonstration of the writers' prowess?

Chances of sticking a random 6 digit number into Wolfram Alpha (on a
whim*, mind you), and having it turn out to be a prime number?

Well, I'm not sure if my maths is correct, but there's 68 906 6-digit
prime numbers. Divide that by the total number of 6-digit numbers,
(which is, I believe, 1000000-100000), and you get something like
7.6562% chance.

Not bad, eh?

* somewhat related, there's a Fallout 3 quest that requires you to
either calculate prime numbers, or read the walkthrough. I know Google
Calc can do something similar, but I punched "prime x" (where x is a
number) into Wolfram Alpha, and lo and behold, it told me that number
was a prime. Later that night, I decided to punch a random 6 digit
prime number in - and voilá, you get the screenshot above.

Had to replace my Griffin Tunebuds Mobile with something, and these were next on my list.

Initial impressions: sound is now much clearer, most likely due to the dual driver design.

The only thing that worries me now? Losing those damn silcone bits to go into your ear, and cord wear and tear down the track - but I suppose the same could be said for any pair of in-ears.

Reason I didn't buy these before? Inline volume controls. My iPhone 3G doesn't support it, but there's this new iPhone coming out, right...
