Twitter Updates for 2010-07-04

• @amberweinberg If your re-sync didn't perform a new backup, then you can Restore from Backup to restore your app data. in reply to amberweinberg #
• I am completely able to replicate the iPhone 4 antenna issue (5 to 1 bar) with my 3GS. A non-conductive case fixes the problem. #
• In other news, twitter's downtime lately is rivaling 2007. #
• @mrbradg Hold either the 3GS or iPhone 4 w/ your palm wrapped around the bottom-left side & wait (bars are an avg, so it takes time 2 show). #
• @mrbradg Apparently, this is virtually all phones. Try it w/ the Droids at your work. Prob the same. To fix: avoid bottom edge or use case. in reply to mrbradg #
• So this is fascinating- by touting a new antenna design on the iPhone 4, Apple has drawn attention to a fundamental flaw in all iPhones. #
• @mrbradg It may also be related to the OS. Rumors are that iOS 4.0 doesn't properly adapt frequencies. Other phones may self-correct better. in reply to mrbradg #
• I *can not* replicate the antenna issue on a iPhone 3G running iOS 3.x. That implies the OS can correct for this. Perhaps iOS 4.01 _is_ due. #
• @jeremyflint That would just get messy. Think about adding / poofing apps in/out of folders. You need that extra row for title + drag space. in reply to jeremyflint #
• @LisaMKnight I think your twitter hiccuped. :) PS. That link won't work either. in reply to LisaMKnight #
• No matter how difficult life may be, may I always strive to not complain "I deserve better," - I deserve nothing more than eternity in hell. #
• Fire Claims Bice’s Grandma's Home: http://bit.ly/d5qsd9 (I'd link to the version w/ ads, but the Daily has a pay wall, so they get no love.) #
• Question: If a sales rep lies & says he's a manager, then is short & patronizing, & hangs up when you ask him not to be, should he be fired? #
• Another question: "Ars gratia artis" - agree or disagree? #
• @_SarahWilder just wait. It's coming to TV also. in reply to _SarahWilder #
• How to "recreate TechTV" with a smart playlist in iTunes: http://img.ly/1AXM #
• If anyone knows how to force https on SOME wordpress pages, while forcing http on all others, using htaccess... I'll brag about you a lot. #
• .@Skrythe Unfortunately, it's much more complicated than a simple redirect on match. It has to do with wordpress and empty request URIs. #
• I've been given some #s from Apple and AT&T employees. Locally - Apple got in "well over 500" iPhones on launch. AT&T stores got 20 this AM. #
• Also, AT&T stores are expecting a second shipment, *only containing 16GB iPhone 4s* coming in later today. (Perhaps already happened.) #
• Walmart only gets the 16GB iPhone 4, and they only keep one in stock, so "planning" to get one there is almost impossible. #
• Thanks for the info. I figured some had a few more. 30 was norm for 3G/3Gs. "RT @zjg: A Dayton, OH AT&T store had 30-40, Warsaw, IN had 20." #
• @candacecbure Hi. :) We were talking in the office today- a little sad that the new season kicked off w/ more teen sex. R u able to comment? #
• According to Facebook and Twitter, I am the only person awake who is not in a movie theater right now. #
• Wow. You guys really don't do hyperbole very well.. OTOH, that's fastest set of responses I've ever got on here. Maybe I should use it more. #
• @groonk It's cool. I've only seen 1.5 episodes of Dr. Who, so I didn't get the reference. I just got all excited to get 6 replies n 10 mins. in reply to groonk #
• Whoa. Hover your mouse over someone's name in your Facebook News Feed... When did that get there? #
• “@groonk: try tweeting that you've never seen The Godfather or Jaws or another 70s cinema. the replies will fly in.” I haven't seen either. #
• @anchoredintruth How do I get on the mailing list? Is there a cost? I'd love to get one sent to me, and perhaps one sent to work also. in reply to anchoredintruth #
• @emilysandlin nope. Me neither. We're uncultured I guess. in reply to emilysandlin #
