iPhone 3G in Belgium after all
So it looks like the iPhone 3G will be released on July 11 after all. I agree with Veerle in wondering why they couldn’t just tell us this from the beginning. Something I noticed while evangelizing the prices to other people is the complaint that “It’s not costing $199 like Steve Jobs promised”. Take a look at this price comparison, and you’ll see that we pay less in the end then what people living in the US pay. The only thing we’re screwed with, is the data traffic. 1Gb in the most expensive plan?! Must be Belgium…

Apple diverting iPhone shipments away from Canada
I’m having a hard time believing this. I mean: First the Canadian customers get balled by having sky-high plans, and now they’ll have a limited amount of iPhones at launch?

The film is so good overall that it makes me wonder whether the Academy will have the balls to nominate it for Best Picture, rather than relegating it to the ridiculous and artificial “Animated” ghetto.

The Web Under the Sea
Fascinating info graphic shows the underwater cabling that connects us all. Those ‘Tubes’ everyone jokes about are actually wires that are less than 10cm in diameter.

Apple’s including a “SIM-popper” in the iPhone 3G box. This is great for people living in, erm, let’s say, Belgium, where it’s illegal to lock a mobile phone to a certain network. Snap Crack ‘n Pop, out goes the Mobistar SIM-card, in goes my current one from Proximus.
