I Think No iPhone In My Future

Apple decided to leave out hardware support for the radio band that T-Mobile will be using for their 3G system. So while you can use it on T-Mobile's voice and EDGE network, 3G on T-Mobile won't work, and since it's a hardware limitation, can't be hacked to make it work either.

I'm pretty sure these tactics are illegal under United States antitrust law and have been for over a hundred years.

Either way, though, I know for a fact that they don't deserve my business.

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
