MyFox Washington DC | Police: Crack Found in Man’s Buttocks

Never has a hardware device been more talked or blogged about than the iPhone. Frequently these articles talk about forthcoming firmware versions and feature wish-lists. Invariably, top of these is the elusive “Copy & Paste” feature. Understandably so, given any web enabled device and the nature of many URL’s, typing them on the on-screen keyboard can be very difficult.

The solution I imagine for Apple to provide such a copy and paste feature, would be a re-designed on-screen keyboard with an extra tab containing the past few pieces of text copied, perhaps with some templates. Then selection of text in the many different areas (SMS messages, e-mails, browser text, app store, etc), would be the main challenge, and lets face it, not a trivial one. So lets give this one a break…. iPhone Copy & Paste is not gonna come any time real soon. I’ll look out for it in firmware 3.0

Now on to my point for posting….. One feature that all iPhone users really should have at the top of their Wish-Lists… Text Forwarding!

Its extremely annoying when you get a text containing info that you need to pass on to someone else. Simple text forwarding would resolve this. Yes, I know that copy & paste would also allow for it and yes there may be a 3rd party app via Cydia that allows for it, but you really want the official software to have the capability.

Surely adding this capability, would not be too hard …. Press your finger on a text for 3-5 seconds, get a popup with options, incliding a forward, clicking forward opens a new message for you, with the text pre-populated. Simple. Fingers cross that we see this from Apple sooner rather than later!

So, 12 days ago (16-Feb) I bought an (unlocked) iPhone on eBay. The total price was €355 including delivery.

3 days later eBay informed me that the seller had had their account suspended and that I was to put a claim into PayPal to re-claim my losses. The seller gave me a tracking id and assurance that the iPhone was on its way.

I’ve not yet received the iPhone, but (I’m pretty sure) this is due to postage. The cheaper postage on the item means that it will take 2-3 weeks to get the phone.

However, today O2 Ireland in the Irish market on March 14th for €399, plus a minimum contract of €45 per month. Which is slightly cheaper than what I paid for my phone, but this has the added benefit of having guaranteed support and working functions, although the price plans are pretty bad, especially compared to UK rates, as covered elsewhere.

Since the iPhone hasn’t arrived yet and I’m off to Austria Skiing/Snowboarding (Not yet decided which) on Saturday morning by the time I get back there will be little difference between activating my phone (presuming it has arrived) and getting one off O2. So, right now, I’m kinda hoping that my iPhone doesn’t show up at all and that I can re-claim all €355 through Paypal. Then just get one directly from O2 without any hassle.

I got this today, one of the only times that I have ever got SPAM through our filters in the office, right into my Inbox, I couldn’t stop laughing reading it, so here it is copied exactly………

I am very sorry XXXXXXX, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don’t comply. As you can see there is no need of introducing myself to you because I don’t have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.

Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and other necessary information’s we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is Important to you or not since their findings shows that you are innocent.

I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn’t tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you. Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $15,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $8,000 then I will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i had with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining $7,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up.

WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY THROUGH killersquad10@gmail.com

I got my iPhone yesterday and set it all up. Brought it into work today and connected to the Wireless network (real pain to do if your Network doesn’t use WEP, I had to find this http://webechoes.typepad.com/ohmy/2007/10/iphone-wifi-pas.html to help me set it up at all !)

So, after I was setup, I started using the web on it and other things, experimenting. I noticed it was a little slow at times, so I got the admin to check that I was on the Wireless network, which I was, but requests to our company website were coming thru O2. FUCK.

So, after a little messing around, the requests were coming from the office again - But I’m not sure how this can be ensured each time. I took the SIM card out and tried to connect again, so using the device as a web browser only - After a few seconds I was getting no response (but I have a feeling that way the device disabling with no SIM card)

Anyway - to the point - When I looked at my online bill this afternoon I saw that I was charged 42 Euro for 5.5MB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve got on to O2 and added a data bundle to my bill (7.50 Euro a month for 250MB)

But what I REALLY want to know is - How do you ensure that all connections are made via the Wireless Internet whenever it is available? I’ve not found any setting, that explicitly states this and I remain unconvinced that it will be done automatically.
