New Lock Screen for iPhone 4
Jobs changed the entire argument with nineteen words

Have you read Scott Adams, the guy behind Dilbert, and his response to how Steve Jobs handled the iPhone 4 Antennagate? Interesting read.
Adams said Jobs’ move was a PR skill called “Higher Ground.” This allows Jobs to move the problem beyond the iPhone 4–and even beyond Apple. And while you can imagine a cartoon picking on how you hold the phone–with the nerds in the Dilbert comic pouring on the sarcasm, Adams thinks it would be hard to pick on just Apple now that Jobs has shown the world it’s a bigger problem than with just the iPhone 4.
“If Jobs had not changed the context from the iPhone 4 in particular to all smartphones in general, I could make you a hilarious comic strip about a product so poorly made that it won’t work if it comes in contact with a human hand. But as soon as the context is changed to “all smartphones have problems,” the humor opportunity is gone. Nothing kills humor like a general and boring truth.”
The full post is on the Scott Adams blog at http://www.dilbert.com/blog/.

Clear winner at British Open Championship is Loudmouth Golf
Even if John Daly doesn’t place in the top 10 at the 2010 Open Championship, his clothing sponsor clearly did! Loudmouth Golf has received world-wide awareness for their “loud” pants.

- That was quick. In and out of fashion Nexus One. RT @BGR: Google now selling its final inventory of the Nexus One http://goo.gl/fb/qbh3l #
- Daly on the 11th. I put my tee shot at 11 in the front bunker. The sea mist was so thick and wind so strong that I didn't see the green. #
- You can buy pants just like John Daly's at http://www.loudmouthgolf.com. You can even buy a paisley jacket to match. #
- When? I'm in. @humancell: Apple's Think Different: we have a fix for the iPhone 4 coming out soon, and you can buy it! It's the iPhone 5! #
- Watching the Open Championship brings back a lot of great memories. St. Andrews is such a fun course to play. #
- And then there was pink http://post.ly/nSbw #
BYU remixes the Old Spice commercial
BYU Library takes the Old Spice commercial and remixes for their own need. Pretty dang good. I like the cart comment at the end.
