iPhone Updated Without Issues

Published September 28, 2007 by cgerrish

iPhone

No iBrick here. Of course, I didn’t unlock it and I didn’t put any outside apps on it. I am a fan of the Web-based apps that are formatted for iPhone. It seems like Dave Winer is spreading some FUD on the 1.1.1 update. Scoble’s son’s phone iBricked and so he assume all others will as well. He uses his megaphone to spread some FUD.

After it’s all said and done. There will be a bunch of folks who hacked their phones who are going to need to hack their way out of a brick. I imagine they’ll eventually be able to do that. A very small number of non-hacked phones will break and will be fixed at an Apple store— and life will go on.

After all, it’s just another software update.

Public Domain Cinema

Published September 25, 2007 by cgerrish

Masterpieces of the cinema are entering the public domain. There’s great promise for the creation mashups and quotation. Nosferatu has already had many new scores written for it. I remember going to an art movie house to see this film. It was a great rarity. Now you can watch the whole film on echovar.
