I am getting the feeling that Apple is in trouble with the iPhone 4 reception issues. This thing might blow up or should i say “Houston we have a problem”. As always, there are already a lot of hilarious comments on the net. My favorite ones from Techcrunch:

• APPLE IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE WAY WE HOLD PHONES
• What do you call a iPhone 4 user? A beta tester! 🙂
• The new Apple tag line that will replace the Think Different of days past–“Hold Different”
• Simply read the “How to hold your iPhone 4” manual. It’s only 3 short pages.
• Apple may be going to patent the way people hold a phone.
• Steve Jobs WWDC 2011: “As you might have heard, we’ve developed something magical, something revolutionary. It’s called dropCall! When you get annoyed with a phonecall, but don’t wanna hang up, just put the iPhone in your left hand and – boom – the call drops! And put it in your right hand and – boom – the signal is there again! Isn’t that awesome?!”

Question: How long can i resist Twitter? It’s a great source for near real-time news. Great for content discovery and to stay up-to-date.
I reduced my engagement level on FB nearly to zero. Perhaps i’m too old or my friends and colleagues are not nerdy enough, but most of them are keeping a low profile on FB or are not really active.

Yes. Germany vs. England. Always a hightlight. To quote Gary Lineker “Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win”

Great graphic. Unfortunately i need to shrink it a little bit to make it fit. Here the link to the original picture
