    I loved the first generation iphone. I used it everyday and never had a problem with it. The touch response was extraordinary. My music library almost fit completely on it (4g model). Then came the 2.0 update. I have not been as happy. I decided to get the 16g white iphone for the capacity. It's shiny and pretty but a seems to produce a new headache for me weekly. Apple shouldn't sell improved products until they are really improved. (I constantly check for the 2.0.3 software update which will cure everything but ...)

    On slide 4 describing the Macintosh:

    ...It's list of standard equipment...

    Now not even Newsweek knows basic grammar. "It's" is a contraction for "it is"
    whereas "Its" is a possessive pronoun. Therefore, the sentence beginning "It is
    list of standard equipment..." makes no sense. The correct sentence would begi
    n "Its list of standard equipment..."

    Memo to Newsweek: teach your writers basic grammar skills.
