People who like science also tend to like electronics. So, while it annoys some people, it makes others happy. Can't please all the people all the time...

Is it just me or is AT&T destroying the iPhone? I still won't buy one so long as I have to use AT&T's horrible customer service.

I believe the logo right at the top says "tech" news is included on the sight. I considered this tech news.

How long are we tied to AT&T for the iPhone? Four more years I think.
