OUCH: Hobart Mercury front page fiasco

mercury

The Hobart Mercury is in damage control today after a remarkably stupid front-page juxtaposition which ran a photograph of four twelve year old school-girls above a splash headline “Girl sold to pay bills”. One story was about students sitting NAPLAN tests and another a dreadful story about a Tasmanian mother acting as a pimp for her twelve year old girl.

And now, time for a game of “guess the interface”!

It’s damn good the new iPhone is only about a month away – I’ve timed it perfectly with the end of my contract, which means I can upgrade pretty much as soon as it’s available.

Anyway, I posted this on Twitter a while back, saying that Calendar.app shouldn’t take ten seconds to load until it was ready for me to use… It could have been somewhat related to the firmware I was running at the time, but now that I’m running the latest of the not-yet-released-to-the-public firmware, Calendar.app is about a tenth faster. Which is kinda good, I guess.

On another note, iPad pre-orders start today. I can’t even imagine using a 1GHz CPU in any mobile device, so I won’t.

Man, the next iPhone better be as good as they say it is.
