iPhone - take 2

There is a new iPhone out there. It is cheaper than before, but I do not see any reason to pay for a device I do not want.

.mac has been "upgraded" to a new name: mobileme. Considering that I tried using .mac for several years, but that they upload speed to the iDisk was a joke, I do not see any reason to go for that either. I tried using iDisk with several internet providers on several Macs in several countries on three continents. The speed was always abysmal.

Apple may one day come up with a new product I want, but waiting for that, I will spend my money on more useful things, like wine, women and song.

Update:

The new iPhone is actually more expensive than the old one, as the monthly data transfer is more expensive.

The new iPhone is slightly bigger than the old one, in spite of Apple saying that it is slightly thinner "round the edges".

The new iPhone has GPS - good.

The new iPhone can read Word, Excel, Powerpoint documents, but only as mail attachments. It is very likely impossible to add a bookmark to the middle of a long file, so one knows where one left off.

The iPhone is truly a strike of genius. Everyone is talking about it, in spite of it having very few really useful features.

64 bit Vista is great, but don't use it

Plenty of enthusiasts install the 64bit version of MS Vista because it is "better" than the 32bit version. However, not even Microsoft themselves wholly endorse it. Currently, this Microsoft link says:

"The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista are not for everyone, and require a system with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit system drivers. Please confirm that your system, applications, and devices are compatible with a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista before installing."
