August 19, 2009 - Exploding iPhones!

My notes(I read stories then write out a general note page to help me stay on track):

Hey, today is August 19th, 2009, I'm TJ, and this...is TheTJNews

1.iPhones have now started to blow up in Europe. Apple is calling this iPhone 3GS incidents isolated and they are just another problem Apple has to deal with for the 3GS. They have already been reported to be overheating, screen breakage, and short battery lifetime.

2.Facebook is now being sued again for supposedly violating California privacy and online privacy rights. 5 Facebook users filed the suit accusing the site of misleading users into believing personal information posted on the Web site can only be accessed by persons authorized by the users. Facebook says the suit has no merit and will fight it.

3.Remember that case against Microsoft which basically said they had to stop selling work because they violated patents? Well Microsoft is filing the motion to stay and request for an expedited appeal review to hopefully overturn the court's ruling.

4.Sony is going to be launching a new slim PS3 that will see a decent price cut. This could mean it will be a bit more of a threat to the more popular Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

5.Finally, Youtube has signed a deal with Time Warner to be able to post their content on their site. The move is in an attempt to turn the site into something profitable for Google and both sides will be sharing ad revenue.

Actually, I never had an xbox until 3 days ago. Also, the fact that you can name off a few games on the PS3 means nothing. Of course there are some, there are just loads more for the more popular xbox 360 and Wii simply because they control the most market share so they appeal to developers. Yes the slim and the price cut will improve sales but the other consoles are already so far ahead.

Looks like you are just a PS3 fan who doesn't bother to think about facts and throws opinion into logic.
