Serving tartare sauce in a shell is kinda weird though.

Even the most mundane things are in focus, the colours just pop, and
all the sparkly magical unicorns are everywhere.

Yiew.

I'm second, and Mr Zocco is first.

Yes, I am insane.

You'll excuse the iPhone 3G's terribly bad camera, but what you see
before you is my own attempt at cutting down a mini-SIM to the
micro-SIM format now used in the iPad as well as the iPhone 4.

I purchased the Noosy-branded SIM cutter tool from Deal Extreme. Not
bad for $20, especially seeing as it came with two micro-to-mini-SIM
adapters.

When it arrived, I got an old, inactive SIM from my previous iPhone,
and promptly cut it using the aforementioned SIM cutter. By placing
the now-micro-SIM inside one of the adapters and testing it in my
iPhone 2G, I was able to ascertain that the SIM, indeed, worked
without the two contacts above by observing the iPhone change from "No
SIM" to "Searching..." - something that backed up my observational
hypothesis by examining the contact points themselves (on the actual
SIM).

All in all, a successful experiment. I've yet to try it on a working
SIM, but I have no need to. Really.

Ah yes, iOS 4. I know thee well.

Just look at the edges of that transition.

Usually you wouldn't be able to snap a screenshot of this particular
flip transition, but iBooks 1.1 ran so badly on my iPhone 3G that I'm
pretty sure even this transition paused for a second, allowing me to
grab the pic you see above.

4 days.

...much less turn them off system-wide. You'll notice that this
particular web page isn't rendered in Safari, but rather the iBooks
iTunes Store browser, which is some implementation of WebObjects if I
remember correctly.

Indeed.

Different can design, same great taste. Or so they say.
