Yea, never really been a huge Kevin Rose fan myself. Even back in his TechTV ScreenSavers days I always thought he looked like the ****y smartass type. Although, I'll admit he's right about some of his predictions in a hit or miss sort of way.

Another disappointing update. I'm staying jailbroken.

It's funny how much cooler Kevin Rose looks in pictures on the internet than he appears "IRL". I just saw him for the first time on Fallon the other night just because the two of them wouldn't shut up about it on Twitter. I'd never seen Rose in video before, and I have to agree with Indy. Class-A dweeb, and his buddy Alex is even worse.

Nothing wrong with being geeky, but you think they'd be able to pull off being in front of a camera a little better by now, with all their blogging and ustreaming and what-notting. Squirmingly awkward television.

Sorry for this post, but I'm a bit behind here and don't want to wade through endless threads...

Is this 3.0 stuff just for the next iphone? Is it for the 3g?

If this has nothing to do with the 3g, I will be very discouraged... and don't even want to hear about it.

We don't know. We have no information whatsoever other than that Apple is giving an advance preview of the 3.0 software on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll find that out on Tuesday.

for me personally MMS isnt that big of a problem now b/c the majority of people i know own either an iphone,blackberry..etc. so for me i share stuff by simply snapping a picture and emailing it... but there have been hundreds of times were i get a text that i need to send to someone else or see something on safari that i want to save. and yea,, type all through

Can we just move the home screen to the center page? I'd love to have a better way to manage Apps. In previous versions I just kept my most used Apps in the center of my 5 pages, so I was never more then a couple of flicks away from any App. I was very disappointed when the home button took me to the far left couner of my phone. It seems a simple thing to ask.

That's actually a good idea, user configurable for where the home button takes you. I like it.

I would be highly pissed if that happens, get everyone all excited for a software update and oh you can only get it if you buy a new/next iPhone..... and I just brought my iPhone a little over a month ago. But again you never know with apple. lol I love apple but they are good for putting out new crap really fast lol I cant keep up.

And ya know, I gave DiggNation a chance, downloaded a few podcast and all but was just a little turned off by the whole immaturity and crudeness of the show, (and I'm still a little immature myself and enjoy some crude humor every now and then, just ask my wife.

).

All in all though, very successful young guy, and I give him props for that, just a little over the top for me I guess, d*mn I feel old now.

Anyways..
