This post is just my use of the iPhone 4 issue to point out the absurdity I see nearly every day anymore.]]> http://www.roathe.com/2010/07/iphone-4-reception-better-than-any-before-or-worthy-of-a-lawsuit/feed/ 0 http://www.roathe.com/2010/06/fedex-ruins-my-iphone-4-day/ http://www.roathe.com/2010/06/fedex-ruins-my-iphone-4-day/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:45:56 +0000 Lane Roathe http://www.roathe.com/?p=225 FedEx shows me why one should never trust them (or actually any delivery service for that matter, see my UPS rant elsewhere!) to deliver your package on time ... or even at all!]]> http://www.roathe.com/2010/06/fedex-ruins-my-iphone-4-day/feed/ 0 http://www.roathe.com/2009/11/warning-do-not-install-software-included-in-panasonic-products/ http://www.roathe.com/2009/11/warning-do-not-install-software-included-in-panasonic-products/#comments Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:14:40 +0000 Lane Roathe http://www.roathe.com/?p=154 The software included on Panasonic CD's installs extremely invasive "pop-up" programs that are installed in a manner designed to make them as difficult to remove (uninstall) as possible. That's virus behavior, not application behavior, shame on you Panasonic!]]> http://www.roathe.com/2009/11/warning-do-not-install-software-included-in-panasonic-products/feed/ 4 http://www.roathe.com/2009/09/snow-leopard-breaks-all-3rd-party-apps-by-removing-creator-codes/ http://www.roathe.com/2009/09/snow-leopard-breaks-all-3rd-party-apps-by-removing-creator-codes/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:06:39 +0000 Lane Roathe http://www.roathe.com/?p=91 Is Apple trying to put all other software makers out of business?
