A big “duh” here. I told my mom this back in the early 90s when everyone started buying those god awful satellite dish devices. We’d sit in the car and as soon as a signal would come in, my head would start pounding like crazy. It’d start to hurt before the damn thing would start ringing. She’d laugh at me and say I was imagining things, but I could even tell when she was facing at me or not with my eyes closed.
A few years later, I like the sheep I was, ended up getting one like other kids my age. That thing would give me HEADACHES like hell. But I kept it like the good little consumerist I was.
Now I’m stricken with a full blown iphone addiction and my senses to the radiation have all but dulled. Well they’re publishing all these studies and dumb shit like that. Any study that says other-wise is dumb, and so is anyone who doesn’t believe they give you cancer. We just haven’t had them long enough to see the long term effects; in about 20 years I’m going to be laid up in a hospital bed with a tumor the size of a watermelon in my head on one of those commercials talking about how I would’ve had a brain if I had just put that evil iphone down years earlier.

And anyone who says otherwise, again is dumb. Those same “agencies” that say that it’s harmless just like they did back in the 1940’s when doctors used to prescribe cigarettes. Mhmm…

Well folks, I am happy to say that it is indeed 1999! AT&T and Apple have announced that MMS is finally coming to the iPhone on September 25th!
I must say that I don’t think I have ever loved and hated a gadget as much as I do my phone. It’s the perfect paradox of language learning, great game playing, puzzle solving, no copy & paste having for 10 years, attention to detail-less, wonderful, hated device.
The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience from Day One,” AT&T said. “We appreciate your patience as we work toward that end.
Well tell Doc Brown he was wrong about the hoverboard being invented before the iPhone got MMS. And I thought that guy was always right…

Just another reason for me to spiral further downwards into my iphone addiction. It was about 3 months after I bought my Nintendo DS that I realized that it had been a complete waste of money. The iPhone is cranking out games faster and they’re a lot cheaper and downloading them means they’re a lot more convenient to get.
I’ve already beaten the Chinatown Wars for the DS, but I must say that just like an addict – even though I’m supposed to be saving money – I might break down and buy this. I know I definitely will if they have new levels or something in it.
