Apple just rolled out some security upgrades for the ultra-coveted
iPhone.  Things aren’t going very well for users of this new patch.

The savants that unlocked the phone to use on networks outside of AT&T now have $600 bricks.  It seems that the new upgrades "likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable."

Robert Scoble is reporting that even peoplo without unlocked phones are having problems.

In other news, Halo 3 walked all over entertainment industry records for opening day sales.  Seems the video games have a little more pull than movies.

For those keeping score at home, here is today’s tally: Microsoft 1, Apple 0.

    Not so fast… I think MS gets a -10 for this one: http://www.technewsworld.com/rsstory/59484.html

    Greetings Matt,

    You’re taking a very narrow sample of the quality that both of these companies generally output. The iPhone is worlds above comparable Microsoft phones (yes, I’ve seen your phone, some other MS phones AND the iPhone) – the iPhone is clearly better.

    I can understand having reservations against Apple because they only use their own hardware (though it’s easy to see the reasoning behind that), but in the case of a phone or other custom device, there’s no reason to try and paint a picture of Microsoft as being better. Apple just knows how to make something that works the way it should. That is the trend.

    If you want to learn something, go to folklore.org and read about some of Apple’s early history.
