My favorite feature of iPhone 5 is the LTE.
Seeing how fast Verizon’s LTE is around town is the best iPhone game I’ve played in years. New top score: 36 down with 9 up.
While I was partially joking, I partially wasn’t.
LTE seems impossible to me. I’m consistently seeing speeds around town better 20 and 40 Mbps down, with 10–15 up. That’s a good bit faster than my U-Verse at home.
Just in time for the iPhone.
Looking forward to digging through some of this.
GoDaddy went down faster than an elephant poached in the wee hours of the morning.
Suzanne Lowry, vice president of marketing at T-Mobile:
T-Mobile has been a champion of “bring your own device” wireless with our affordable Value plans that separate the cost of wireless service from the purchase of a new phone. This means there are a lot of devices running on our network that we don’t sell in our stores, including more than 1M iPhones. We see a big opportunity to make the experience of bringing an unlocked iPhone to T-Mobile even better for customers.
I’m starting to feel like a fool for backing this thing.

Emily Nussbaum, on a version of Breaking Bad that would avoid more heartache:
To escape this moral checkmate, [showrunner Vince] Gilligan might shift yet another character into the foreground, revealing that the show is actually (as a friend suggested) a hero’s tale in disguise. In that version of “Breaking Bad,” the protagonist is not Walt but Hank, a man with no children. Despite injury and depression, Hank brings down a vast drug ring, even when he discovers that the kingpin is his own brother-in-law, a sneering brainiac who has always considered himself superior. But because Hank is decent, and the show is on the side of good, Hank triumphs. That ending would have the virtue of symmetry, and pleasure, and closure, and relief, for the suffering audience.
Well, that’s going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
I love the end of the month.
I’ve linked to this truck several times in the past, and I can’t stop. I simply love this thing.
Earlier today, I posted a rather tongue-in-cheek piece about where I prefer the Dock to be on my Mac.
Then the Internet exploded. All day, I’ve gotten a flood of tweets and emails explaining why I’m an idiot for putting my Dock where I have it. Many people have asked that I explain why my Dock on the right, pinned to the bottom, so I thought I would explain.
Before I do, however, it’s important to remember that Dock placement is all about personal preference. There’s no real right or wrong way to do it, no matter how strong your personal convictions may be.
