The Free Mac Classroom (Over 200 apps!)

Absolutely the biggest list of free educational applications for the Mac! Over 200 free apps listed and categorized.[...] Thanks to dhollister for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

antitab: Schoolhouse has actually made me friends. No lie. People see me using it during class and are curious about it, I link them to a download and my classcast, and beautiful relationships blossom.

Mac: It gets you friends.
This post brought to you by Apple.

destroyerwi: There was a time when I was up on Mac software enough to make a list like this myself. That time was 1996. Incredibly useful list. I downloaded SiteSucker first, then sucked this page so I’ll have it always.

dadSp33k: they aren’t all free.

hamobu: many (if not most) of these apps are Open source apps. It is a shame that an army of pretentious guys in jeans and turtle-necks (and probably sporting a rainbow motif somewhere on their person) will be mislead into thinking that Macs are great!

Emijo: Ohh, brilliant, just brilliant!

0livero: I used to use eSword on the PC, but after my mac conversion I have been searching for sometime for a new Bible as eSword does not work on mac.. and now I have found the MacSword! Fantastic. Thanks so much for finding these applications.

LlFT: This is just a compilation of the what the Apple website has offered for years… Plus the Apple site gives a better description of the apps.

JoeDiggsIt: This is perfect, I’m getting my new macbook today and I can use this guide. Thanks!

Bamont: One Word: Cubed

beerbarron: This is an awesome compilation of utils and such forth, I would like to see more remote desktop support on the list though, and I don’t mean server connection, apps like netop. Granted you can use apple remote desktop, but thats expensive…

ramshaw: Thanks for this some of this stuff is gonna come in really useful for me I think

picsectionpleez: Camino FTW

jchalmer85: I digg this story not just for the awesome mac apps, but because it was done in iWeb, hosted on .Mac, and it looks great. Props to the creator of the page just for that.

dupeduperson: its probably wrong that I digg things like this because I want to bookmark it and examine it later. Why did digg remove the search my diggs feature?

Yes, I know digg is not supposed to serve as a social bookmarking site, but that is what I want.

sotarts: No Quicksilver? That should be number 1 on any mac app list.

Short and Sweet SSH Guide for the iPhone

Although using iBrickr or iFuntastic to get files and applications on and off your iPhone is fine, it’s sort of a pain to have to dock it every single time you’ve got a new NES ROM you want to play. With this, you can browse and copy files to and from your phone with either a command line or even a FTP client that supports SFTP.[...] Thanks to KevinRoseMustDy for providing this nice story on Digg.

CellHut Can’t Understand That You Didn’t Order The iPhone, Thieves Did

ast Friday, I arrived home from work to discover a mysterious package waiting for me. Upon opening it, I found… trash bags. Lots of them. Puzzled, I rifled through the box and discovered, to my amazement, that they had been used as packing material for a brand new 4 Gb Apple iPhone![...] Thanks to squenix1221 for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

cdoink: After seeing how CellHutt handled this incident with absolutely no professionalism whatsoever I will never shop from them and I will make sure to forward this article to as many people as possible so that nobody I know will make that mistake either. Also, I wonder what Apple would think if they knew this company was selling unlocked iPhone’s and jacking up the price like they are? Maybe someone should report this to their legal team as well as AT&T’s.

Clownboat: Wow, so if I shop at CellHut they’ll post my personal information — including my full name, name of my credit card company, name of my case worker at said company, and details of my order — to digg.com? Sign me the fuck up!

ButtMonkey69: Wow, that’s weak. Real weak. Doctor_X is going to pawn your ass, or whatever it is the kids say nowadays.

kicktd: Sounds like Cellhut is trying the old CYA when the scam goes wrong technique now. I doubt Cellhut even HAS a security team, or perhaps this is the mysterious Bawa Bhasin, owner of Cellhut. To be honest your website screams S-C-A-M.

stevearon: In response to Brett Laurence, whose posts on websites about a fraudulent iPhone purchase on Cellhut.com, we at Cellhut have responded by conducting a thorough investigative inquiry into this matter. In our findings, we have found evidence that Mr. Laurence, known as Doctor_X on somethingawful.com website and also known as Brad Lyons on digg.com, indeed did place the order with Cellhut.com.

Our evidence that validates this is predicated on the phone records that prove that a voice message being left by our verification department on Mr. Laurence’s cell phone which is registered with T-mobile. As per Cellhut verification terms and conditions, any order over $200 must be verified by the customer before the order can be processed. Cellhut is also awaiting phone records to verify other phone conversations in reference to the verification of this order. The phone number our staff member called is the telephone number that is on file with Chase Bank Credit Card Services under Mr. Laurence’s Credit Card Account. This is also the same phone number that we are currently using to speak to Mr. Laurence.

The order was recorded by local IP Address and was shipped to Mr. Laurence credit card billing address as requested on the order. The order was shipped in sealed UPS box with a tracking number of 1ZW508V70258706569.

In addition, Mr. Laurence provided the identical name, billing address (which he used as his shipping address), and three digit credit card identification number from that credit card account. Existence of Mr. Laurence cell phone number on Chase Bank Credit Account is not a public record therefore if the order was a fraudulent transaction, this order could not be verified, due to insufficient or incorrect information. This leads us to believe that Mr. Laurence did indeed place that order. Peter Mangan Fraud Investigator at Chase Bank Fraud Department (888-813-7084) agrees with our findings. Mr. Mangan has reversed the fraudulent charge and has re-billed the customer as a valid charge. Cellhut.com legal department is working very closely with Tim Deridder, Fraud Manager at Chase Fraud Department to get a formal confirmation that this order was not fraudulent.

At Cellhut we take Fraud very seriously and every fraud and suspicious order in handled by our special security department, which is under our company’s president direct control. In order to protect our reputation as an ethical business and continued fight towards fraud prevention, we are filing libel and criminal fraud charges against Mr. Laurence.

Cellhut.com legal department is in process of filing a restraining order to prevent Mr. Laurence from causing further harm to our business. We also request that Consumerist.com take the article entitled, ” CellHut Can’t Understand That You Didn’t Order The iPhone, Thieves Did ,” offline immediately and issue an apology for posting untrue information. Consumerist.com never validated or confirmed this information from Cellhut.com and reported single sided untrue version of Mr. Laurence’s story.

Mr. Laurence has used many alias names and email addresses which make Mr. Laurence’s story not trustworthy. Mr. Laurence has played this dirty game to cheat small businesses and to get away from a sudden price drop on the iPhone, which are sold as final sale at Cellhut.com. Mr. Laurence has committed this heinous act to save himself lousy $200. Cellhut.com has enough authentic evidence to prove Mr. Laurence transaction as valid. Cellhut.com legal department will be releasing a press release with all valid and true information as a response to Mr. Laurence’s a/k/a Doctor_X , a/k/a Brad Lyons fabricated story.

Security Team

funkytaco: Please bump this. Either Cellhut is hacked, was hacked, or run by criminals. Either way, it looks like your data is unsafe with Cellhut:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/28/AR2006092800333.html

September 28, 2006 -
“After scanning the search results, he purchased the inexpensive item — a USB cable used to synchronize the Treo’s settings with his personal computer — from Cellhut.com, the first online store displayed in the results that looked like it carried the cable. The site featured a “Hackersafe” logo indicating that the site’s security had been verified within the past 24 hours.

Later that day, information from Cole’s purchase — including his name, address, credit card and phone numbers, and the date and exact time of the transaction — were posted into an online forum that caters to criminals engaged in credit card and identity theft. Ostensibly, the data on Cole was posted as an enticement to other fraudsters lurking on the forum who might be interested in buying large numbers of similar records.

Other personal data posted into the fraud forum included the personal and financial information for Shane Galloway, an 18-year-old freshman at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. When contacted by washingtonpost.com, Galloway said he purchased a wireless phone from Cellhut.com shortly after midnight on Sept. 6, just minutes after the time stamp on Cole’s purchase.

Another individual whose data was found in the online chat channel — a southern California resident who asked that his name not be used — confirmed that he bought wireless accessories from Cellhut.com at 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 7, the exact time listed in the entry that was posted into the online forum along with his credit card data and other personal information. Later, he discovered that $6,000 in fraudulent charges were made using his credit card. “

drewcarey: How much you wanna bet that the iPhone he got is a cheap knockoff and doesn’t work correctly/at all?

brianhuangbh: cool, so he got 2 free iphones, since he already canceled his chase card…

skamper: If this was anything other than an iPhone, nobody would’ve dugg it. Truth.

i6koi: lawl

bradleyland: I wonder if CellHut.com uses any affiliate programs. Affiliate programs pay large commissions when they’re set up on pay-per-sale terms. It is not uncommon for a rogue affiliate to fraudulently submit orders using stolen credit cards. They get paid their cut and disappear before anyone knows what the hell is going on.

Seaton: I checked his website, noticed he had an eBay store. They have quite a bit of negative feedback, especially within the last few weeks. Something else interesting…NOTHING FOR SALE. Looks like they are closing down for good and doing some interesting activities to clear out existing stock. CellHUT is sending out another iPhone because they already claimed the iPhones were stolen (see eBay feedback, seems to be a common promblem) and don’t want the evidence laying around.

eBay feedback page for CellHUT: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=cellhutcom&ftab=AllFeedback

You can also learn quite a bit about someone from their eBay return policy:

• All Replacements and Exchanges can be processed only within 7 days of receipt of merchandise.
• Please request RMA number before returning merchnadise. No returns will be accepted without an RMA number.
• All NON-DEFECTIVE returns are subject to a 15% Penalty.
• Defective items returned for refund are subject to 15% restocking fee on the cost of the products, shipping fee is NON REFUNDABLE. The Defective item must adhere to our Return Policy.

Yes, you pay 15% no matter what…defective or not. Wow….just…wow.

mikester540: HAHA! Everyone please read the reviews at PriceGrabber– Someone from the company (Sounds like it was the same person who wrote the e-mail) is posting fake five-star reviews… http://reviews.pricegrabber.com/cellhutcom/r/4016/2/

My favorite so far:
“cellhut have a wide range of cell phone and price. i mean you can buy a phone according to your pocket. thats what i like about it. i purchases couple of phones from this site. the phones which are still working perfect. i recommend this store, and would like to purchase from here again.”

Amnesia10: Actually if you add up all the problems, fraudulent sale, no refunds, restocking fees I would call the police maybe the RICO Act would be more appropriate?

Macs on the network: Time to panic?

They’re coming. Gleaming all-in-ones, metallic slimline notebooks and hand-size “mini” machines. For network admins, the Macintosh has always been the purview of advertising agencies, entertainment companies, educators and home computer users. Mac OS X is merely a minor support issue in a Microsoft-dominated organization.[...] Thanks to Mattman9876 for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

ilgaz: They are counted as FreeBSD clients with Zeroconf capability carrying standard Unix services.
Why panic? That is purest TCP/IP IPV4 and IPV6, nothing else. No “worms”, no “stealth firewall” junk too.

stockjones: The number one problem with Apple in the Enterprise? Enterprise support. Steve Jobs, if I buy 300 Dells, I can get parts shipped to me direct, techs to your office for installs if needed etc.

Apple tech support. Go the the mall and stand in line at the Genius Bar. Jesus Christ Apple.

payrolldude: I used to be on the systems team for a support site. There were ~300 Macs and ~100 PCs. There were 4 of us on the systems team, I was the only Mac guy. I spent 1/2 of my time helping them with their issues. They worked nights and weekends. I did not.

Macfox: I bet the difference is more than that. I suspect there’s a lot more difference at the application level. OS support is easy in the main part for OSX or Windows, it the application support which is the difficult part.

dezent: im a network admin, use macbook pro 15″, 2.4ghz 4gig ram, debian style apt-get of open source tools http://finkproject.org/
compilers and stuff from http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/

No problems here.

Fryth: I work at a corporate helpdesk. There is resistance to Macs, but it’s management’s fear of diverting help desk resources to support them. Our IT guys are smart enough to know that Macs on the network don’t pose any risk. If you need a setting for Safari to get out of our proxy and onto the internet, I will happily provide it to you. However, I don’t know the details (or potential problems) of how Entourage connects with our Exchange server… that’s probably why they are usually told “we don’t support Macs”.

damm: Buried for Lame inaccurate propaganda.

Oh No! Entourage hasn’t been updated in years…

Oh and the firewall you have to pass special commands! OH NOES!

Fact, Mac out of the box has how many open TCP Ports? 0

May the propaganda machine go away and return with facts.

starmanjones: >Green did mention a few bugaboos, however, among his generally
>positive comments about the Mac. He said his group has seen more
>support issues related to the Cisco VPN for Mac than the version for
>Windows XP, although they have fewer support calls for the native VPN
>client for OS X.

i have an old wallstreet laptop- 300mhz running 10.4 with 190 megs of ram using a cisco aironet 350 pcmcia card using cisco software and its fine. this machine is so old it only has no USB ports. scsi only. 10 megabyte ethernet built in. in fact, currently its sub’ing as a wireless router using internet sharing in OS X and 10 or so machines are using it to access the internet. its not just doing email and surfing. its good for streaming video to several machines at once.

i installed the cisco software and it worked first time. its been running 24/7 for several weeks now with no crashes or other problems.

norcalscan: What kind of writing is this? ComputerWorld articles tend to troll for flames from Mac-fans. IT guys need to get more Apple training, and ComputerWorld writers need to go to writing school.

FTA “The fact that Microsoft hasn’t updated its Entourage client for the Mac in several years suggests that its OS X support is waning, although a new Office 2008 version for the Mac with a new e-mail client is due in January.”

starmanjones: i was the CTO and head netadmin for a large site. while we had users running windows the network proper was windows free. we used a mix of linux and mac servers which ran OS 9. we had exactly no problems ever using those two platforms.

why would we use a mac running OS 9? contrary to popular dogma OS 9 was plenty capable of high loads and OS 9 was really hack proof. it was the only way i could assure that database information was safe with no possibility of loss without someone walking in the front door an sitting down at the machines. . so we ran OS 9 using filemaker. we had not a single problem in years of use.

andybms: I’m getting my new iMac today! I’m a loooong time Windows user and developer doing the conversion! And, a former Microsoft employee. I bought the parallels software so i can migrate slowly. If I have any problems getting it on my home network, which I don’t expect to. I may be posting a question on this article.

BHopkins: I manage 850 Mac’s across 3 sites. Our windows people manage 350 machines at one site. That’s the difference. We both do the same thing, except I can do more than twice as much as they can, because we use Mac’s.

ghuytro: I work for a large newspaper company with total desktop computers in the neighborhood of around 1,500-2,000 computers in about 50 locations – all networked to the main corporate office over a secure WAN.

We’re about 50% split between Mac & PC.

We have 3 Mac Support Techs and about 25-30 PC techs.

xenixninja: The problem is first of all that everything that is not produced by Microsoft has an issue with Microsoft products, and the second issue is “admins” who know only Microsoft products.

dimplemonkey: Yes, please go panic and hire me to manage your Macs and integrate them securely to your PC dominated network. My consulting fees are reasonable!

iPod Touch screen problem: Negative Black Effect

There seems to be what is called the negative black effect. It’s hard to explain so I’ve put together a sample video with the iPod touch next to the iPhone playing the same video.[...] Thanks to dude666 for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

Jersey2FL: I just came from my visit to a Genius in Ft Lauderdale. He said my screen is fine. And he has not had anyone else complain. I told him about the forum post on Apples site since I thought it was strange that he NEVER heard about this. He said “We don’t have time to read the forums”.

So Apple releases their biggest product of the year, and Apple support reps have no idea what the end users are saying about it. What if there was a thread with over 15 thousand views that said the iPod Touch burst into flames while charging?

getliquified: looks like i will be waiting to have this fixed before buying

geniusj: You think the touch is bad? You should see it on the iBeat Blaxx.

GuitaristTom: lol, now apple stuff sucks… man $teve Job$ and M$ are gay… the cool kids are too l337 for that… UniX all the way man

Comkeen: I’m amazed at the [lack of] intelligence of apple fan boys here. Its like the time I got into a debate over why Apple wouldn’t put expandable memory on their flash players, and the other guy told me that was actually a good thing. Anyways back to my point on the Zen PMP… next time try reading a whole post before you add something in as an excuse to bury me. I never QUOTED the depth of the Zen PMP, only the length and height.

I dislike Apple less then I dislike its rabid fan base.

Stopher: I figure I’m pointing out the obvious but are there any brightness settings that can be adjusted?

digjam: may be negetive african american effect?

siouxmoux: I have pre-order my Ipod 16gig ITouch on the day of the announcement from Steve. I have not read up on all of the technicals details of issues of video problem. If the ITouch Video glitches are Software base. Then I would presume that Apple will shortly release an update patch to address the video playback issues.

But if it Hardware issue, I am planning to canceled my order with apple and wait for generation 2 for apple to fixed the video portion of the Itouch.

Kainzy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nYxlrsReUEU
I too cancelled my order until this gets resolved. I’m not paying £240 for a screen that is that poor.

kinerry: This isn’t a bug, it’s a camera trick.

Watch at the device on the right ALWAYS gets darker as the left one gets brighter

rehkcts: I’m a little sad to see so many problems popping up with the new iPod Touch. I hope Apple fixes these issues fast.

mthanded: I too have the problem… Other than this i am ridiculously happy with my ipod touch. The interface alone was enough for me to buy.

cave: It’s clear to me that Apple doesn’t care about accurately portraying people of color in the media.

bryceman111: Dugg for proving Apple doesn’t care about black people.

jonneh: Digging this because when I first loaded up some videos on my Touch I was surprised as to how difficult it was to view dark scenes. I primarily bought it to be able to view videos and all this shi has just disappointed me. I tried forcing myself to like it and ignore the problem but it can’t be done. I’m with others here and I’ll wait it out this week and see if apple addresses it at all–if not… so long iPod Touch, we hardly knew ye.

Status of iPod Touch Jailbreak: “Jailbreak seems increasingly unlikely…”

A status report of the attempts to Jailbreak the iPod touch. So far, things are not looking so good.[...] Thanks to Luigi239 for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

pranaysanghavi: this has been overcome, ipod has been hacked, jailbroken.
enjoy 3rd party and ifone apps on ipod! . . .. hurray. check out utube

hongkongfive: This is total rubbish, stories like this were being written about busting open the iPhone until the 74th day (or U-Day). Jailbreaking the iPod Touch isn’t unlikely, it is inevitable.

SoxFanNH: Its pathetic that it needs to be “hacked” in the first place…

Allistar: I can’t wait for a workaround to come about.

Being able to use Mail.app, the Google Maps app (maybe caching the directions/map for when you are on the go?), etc. will be GREAT.

shoook: I understand Jailbreaking an iPhone, but the term “Jailbreak” when applied to iPod Touch doesn’t make much sense to me. Are you saying you want to hack it?

Dagreenman: How about a hack so i can get some fucking cut and paste on an iphone? how about that?

myflyertrains: Patience is required here. We will be loading new apps on our Touches soon enough…

kris33: Shit. Not positive news since I think iPhone firmware 1.1 will be very similar to the firmware of iPod Touch.

purplepeople: i don’t understand why apple won’t let people run whatever apps they want on their iphone / ipod touch. wouldn’t they sell many many more of them if it were possible and easy? what’s the point of restricting the use?

puffinfresh: Ummm I’m pretty sure there’s already a way to jailbreak the iPod Touch. It was posted here – http://www.hacktheipodtouch.com/unlock/ipod-touch/how-to-jailbreak-the-ipod-touch (but it looks to be down at the moment). People managed to get in a copy across apps from the iPhone, like Mail, Weather and Stocks.

bouncetigger: If i got screwed by buy a iphone to early, I’ll be downing the ipod touch too.

L33tMasta: Is a chick trying to hack it? NO WONDER IT’S NOT WORKING!

MikeonTV: isn’t this just an iphone without the phone?

Hacking Apple gadgets = community service

iPhone features you’ll miss out on by buying an iPod touch

Here is a (preliminary) list of things you’ll lose out on by buying an iPod touch…[...] Thanks to billpalmer for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

LeeSoong: feature 1- not giving 2,500 dollars to att company

beggersfunk: Bloody hell Apple, i would buy an iPhone if theey release it in Japan…damn it. I prefer iphone instead of the touch simply because i dont want to carry any more crapp im my pocket. But what choices do we have in Japan…beside the iTouch.

clpo13: Why on Earth would anyone bother buying an iPod Touch? Is it so hard to shill out a hundred extra and get an iPhone with the same size storage and extra features? Or better yet, go for an iPod Classic and get more storage to keep and play all your music, which is the whole point of owning an MP3 player…not calendars and touch screens.

OdinEye: On and on with the “It’s just an iPod, what do you expect?”
It’s a new product, and supposedly an advancement beyond existing products. The old iPod’s didn’t have web browsers, and didn’t run OSX. While it is an iPod, it’s definitely something different from that first generation product that originally carried the name. This device has the potential to be a phenomenal PDA and provide the potential for people who can’t live with AT&T for whatever reason to move down from three devices to two.
Unfortunately, while it has the potential, the crippling of the software keeps it from reaching that end, with no obvious good reason for it. I’m a real Apple fan, but the loss of the mail app, notes, and ability to edit the calendar are a real sticking point for me.
Of course, I’ll probably buy an iPhone instead, but still…

irixyu: The iPod touch is just another form of iPod. iPods are designed to play media. Does it play music, video, and display pictures? Yes, it does. It’s not a watered down iPhone, it’s just a new iPod with a touch screen and internet browsing capability.

jkharris07: I would much rather get an iPhone than a iPod Touch. Theres just too many features you would be missing out on.

ryanherb: what about the features you’ll miss out on by buying an iPhone?!?!

qwertyguy: no iphone in canada = me getting a touch (when the screen issue is fix)

doshindude: why make the ipod like a stripped down iphone? that’s like the dumbest move ever. the iphone was bad enough, now they release an even CRAPPIER not-iphone? I knew apple would screw it up eventually. (not that ipods were any great in the first place. Creative Zen and Palm FTW.)

daGUY: This is dumb. If you add back in all the features of the iPhone that were left out of the Touch, you end up with…an iPhone! At the same price! In the same form factor!

zongamin: most dick headed article I’ve ever read.

teethman: So not only is an iPod touch an iPhone without the phone, its also a gimped version of the iPhones extra features.

Palaceguard: When is apple going to add new features to the damm iPhone like flash, cut&paste, etc? It’s the same shit when I bought it in July. They had 2 years to programs more junk for it

Stevethegreat: Good thing I’ve just bought an Iphone 8gb, and being in Europe I’ve paid 100 bucks less (€300 for me, ipod touch will be also €300) without a contract (minus $60 per month). It’s a no brainer for us here in Europe….

jubbjubb: point: either spend the extra $100 for the iphone or just buy the ipod classic

My iPod Touch is part iPhone?

Apparently apple takes the time to remove functional code like allowing you to input calendar events but doesn’t bother to change the “iPhone is disabled” text shown when you lock your iPod and fail to type in the right password.[...] Thanks to NOFXY for providing this nice story on Digg.

What other users say about this:

drastik21: who would spend that much for a 16GB Ipod anyways

Zbug: Odd, the blacks look fine to me in that picture.

Atomic1fire: all someone needs to do is hack the ipod touch like they did the phone to get the functionality of a calander
I dont see the big deal that or using google calender mobile

guinpen: whether it’s a youtube or apple issues, you have to be seriously deluded to expect that the ipod touch isn’t a an iphone stripped down. they didn’t create this device from scratch. anyone buying it *knows* it’s “part iphone”

futebollounge: Same thing happened when I locked my PSP.

jkharris07: Apple really needs to up their beta testing.

sp1nm0nkey: Stuff like this happens! Every programmer in that division probably just went OH SHIT and they’ll have it fixed in the next build. About the calendar, remember the price difference between the 4 gig and 8 gig iphone? That’s not nearly how much the nand flash costs. It’s because people would accept it. They impaired the calendar because you don’t use an iPod as a PDA… you _could_ but that’s not what it’s supposed to be, the iPhone is supposed to be the PDA in their lineup. There’s nothing stopping Apple from putting Mail onto the iPod but they wouldn’t because it’s not a PDA. If Apple can get you to buy an iPhone for something you need, they totally will. Sort of an asshole move I guess but that’s business.

FartyMcFart: In order to get the iPhone lockout screen, you need to try to unlock the iTouch multiple times unsuccessfully. It will then display the screen in question.

BayAreaKing: And we all know Apple won’t do one thing about it…So sad. iPod Touch COULD have been just as popular or maybe even more popular than iPhone IF they: kept all iPhone apps (Mail, Weather, Maps, Stocks), make it a little thicker and put a 30GB HDD. These things shouldn’t have been an issue. They should have put it in the iPod Touch, but didn’t. DO something about it Apple!

jaxed: That’s not the only place that Apple left the iPhone name in the Touch software…
http://digg.com/apple/My_iPod_Touch_is_part_iPhone_PART_2

SHOVELLit: Let me just say, if this was a Microsoft product that did this, everyone would be saying how crap they are and ho they suck. You are like, ohhh, they are a billion dollar company, but it doesn’t matter that they made a rookie error. Stop sucking Apple’s balls you freaks, even though they make cool stuff.

generalLEE: That’s nothing. Wait until it crashes and shows a BSOD!!!

BMANZZS: “My iPod Touch is part iPhone?”

…and you couldn’t tell that just by looking at it?

proggieus: You have to enter the passcode wrong multiple (6?) times before it comes up, but mine displays the same message although it only makes me wait 1 minute
