blog.deg.io: Why the iPhone 5 Never Arrived - Time to question BIG media?
For that you have to understand a bit about semiconductor life cycles. Production of LTE chipsets by Qualcommjust isn’t mature enough. Low yields. Power hogs. Examples of this include the much delayed Droid Bionic. And the whole Motorola XOOM 4G upgrade fiasco. Apple is smart enough not to commit such embarrassing failures. The yield and power problems will be solved by next year as well as an increase in 4G saturation in all major cities.
Typical Sunday morning, or, “Hey ma, look what I made and uploaded all from my “phone”!”
I was expecting it to turn into a tiny robot.
I basically go up and down the Bay Corridor for food when I was living in San Francisco. I haven’t explored nearly as much beyond Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn — but hope to change that now that we’re thawing out!

Why Apple’s design choices will continue to cause AT&T’s service’s crappiness. Good article from Steve Cheney.
Interesting concept. Tag. You’re it.
Wake Up World is the world’s first social alarm clock. The recently-developed iPhone app, which costs $0.99, supplies you with a username and secret code upon registering. You then share your secret code with other Wake Up World users, who can send you videos which appear at the time you set your alarm to “wake” you. One of the clever aspects of this app is that it’s inherently social and offers a built-in incentive for people to recommend the app to their loved ones, friends, or even strangers (chatroulette-style) for shared and surprising experiences.
