iPhone Usability Notice
I realize today’s comic deals with neither angels nor ants, but that’s just how the chips fall sometimes.
I’m sure there’s no good reason why you couldn’t work the iPhone’s touchscreen with your ding-dong, but there are definitely good reasons why you shouldn’t. Remember that the iPhone is still a piece of electronics hardware, hence a looming possibility of electro-static shock. I would imagine that would be quite unpleasant … unless you’re really creepy.
The iPhone is slick, I’ll give it that, but at $600 I’m thinking I’m going to have to pass. Actually, $600 isn’t the problem; I’m much more concerned with whatever the monthly charge is going to be to get the full iPhone package. The guesstimates I’ve heard put it in the $100/month zone, which is, I do believe, totally friggin’ nuts. I mean, let’s just put that into perspective. I can get a gallon of milk from Ralph’s for about $3.50. So the cost of running an iPhone for one month I could buy more around 28 gallons of milk. Just think about that. 28 gallons of milk. 1 month worth of iPhone. Exactly.
Why all this iPhone talk? The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference kicked off yesterday with a rousing keynote address by Apple Overlord Steve Jobs. If you missed it you can watch a stream of the video courtesy of apple.com, but do know that what you’re watching amounts to geek porn. Enjoy.
I can promise with 90% certainty that the next comic will feature insects in some form. Most likely that will be poorly drawn vector-modeled Photoshop form. That’s just a guess.
