Damn, that was a total waste. Wonder if they stole it? Don't they know that there are kids in Third World countries that don't have cellphones yet?!?

Here's the iPhone taken apart in a way that allows putting it back together:

so I went and got my iPhone today. Am buggin' out to activate it and all that. My fucking osx needs to be updated and its a 300mb update so I have over 2 hours left to download the update and its already been an hour updating already. Yeah I'm pissed. I'm sitting here looking at my beautiful new phone and can't even turn the damn thing on.

Boo to Apple for only allowing activation through iTunes and another boo to Apple for making me update my osx. If iTunes can update without having the most up to date version of osx then why can't I just activate my phone?

Yeah, you know I'm whining like the bitch baby I am, but come on. I just wanna use my phone.....

Thanks for letting me vent.............

This is an interesting development, and I'm curious if the iPhone is really much different with respect to toxicity than other handheld electronic devices of it's size...

Apple in Legal Hot Water Over IPhone Chemicals on Epicenter
Quote:
According to spokesperson Charles Margulis, the levels of phthalates (a group of chemical compounds that are mainly used as "plasticizers," i.e., substances that increase flexibility) in the iPhone are in violation of California law, specifically Proposition 65.

Also known as "Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986," the act says that businesses can't expose consumers to toxic chemicals without warning them of that exposure, explains Caroline Cox, another CEH spokesperson. The state prepares a list of those toxic chemicals that apply spefically to Proposition 65, Cox says, and while it's constantly updated, one of the things it does specify is what's known as a safe harbor level.

"If you fall above that level, you're in violation," Cox says. "Basically, what we're saying in our notice of violation [to Apple] is that [the phone] exposes a user to a level above that."
This point at the end should raise some eyebrows...

Quote:
If Apple does not enter into a binding agreement to both recall the iPhones its already sold, as well as provide clear and reasonable warnings for future shipped iPhones, the CEH says it will file a citizen enforcement lawsuit -- which would allow impacted citizens to be full participants in the litigation and the resulting negotiation and settlement process.
