I didn't realise there was such a stink going around about The Verge: http://joshuatopolsky.com/post/31285353423/integrity-and-bullies-with-blogs
They do good work, some of their writers just have a huge ass ego.
Gruber is to Apple what the Drudge Report is to the GOP. Marco, alas, is an unfortunate casualty in all this.

What was the response from John and Marco
MG Siegler is less level-headed than Gruber I'd say. Gruber comes across as just uninterested in Android, Windows, etc. Siegler has more of the fanboy style attitude towards the competition. The best and most objective of the Apple bloggers is Jim Dalrymple.
Oh and I wasn't counting Marco, he is full of himself. He rubs me the wrong way.
wow Gruber and Marco seems to be big douches.
I kinda knew that Gruber was a big Apple fanbot but this is just stupid. Never understood how people like him.
edit: man FUCK GRUBER!

Does anyone have a picture of the iPhone 5's keyboard in landscape? I want to see how much bigger, if at all, the keyboard is now.

They should have allowed a split keyboard like on iPad.
The 'filler' space on either side of the keyboard is just weird.

I agree with Gruber on this one.

if you read what Josh said I don't understand how one with any logic could agree with Gruber, but oh well

Anyone?Does someone have a link where I can read what to do if I'm upgrading to a iphone 5 (from a 4S).
And have it ready to be all syned up and ready to go when I just switch my sim card into the iphone 5.
And can I use my 4S with my apple id but a different sim. just to use as a 2nd phone that is.
Thanks in advance everyone

Anyone from the UK got any dispatch emails yet today? Looking less likely Three are gonna make their Friday delivery..
Why?
- Have your 4S backed up to iCloud or iTunes
- Put in your sim in the 5
- When you turn on your 5 either;
- sign in with your apple id and select the iCloud backup via the phone and start the restore
- In iTunes, pick to restore it as an existing device (the 4S backup), if you pick this option there's no need to sign in with you apple id on the phone itself
- Wait
- Profit
Personally I always use iTunes when restoring new devices to an old backup since it's faster to re-copy the apps over usb than it is to re-download them from the cloud.

Thanks for the information, my first upgrade so that is why I asked.
id say it is best to back up both to cloud and itunes before updating the phone.
also, you should also do a regular (once a month or something like that) local backup to itunes as well.
You are switching providers as well?

Ehhh... just use iCloud. Piece of piss. Just enter password.
That's what I did at the Apple Store when I had my 4S replaced.

Really?
I browse The Verge quite often, and I remember when Gruber started this 'integrity' bullshit (and the subsequent back-peddling). The Verge has mentioned (especially in their more editorial stuff like the podcast) product designs that rip-off Apple a lot since launch. But Gruber won't be happy until every single time such a product is mentioned, there is a huge red sign that pops up letting people know the obvious.
The guy is still incredibly salty over his appearance on On The Verge.
I just fear if it's dispatched Thursday it may not arrive next day is all. Also, I have no knowledge of dealing with deliveries from Three.

No, I buy phones unlocked directly from apple, I just switch phones.

They're fine. They dispatch after 4pm using courier next day.
Last year the only notification I got from them was a text from DPD first thing in the morning telling me my hour delivery slot.

Don't order many things sent by courier eh?

I've ordered from Three. They've taken my money but I have had absolutely no other contact or confirmation from them. Their customer communication is dreadful

That's how it is. Not sure what you would expect them to say between ordering and dispatch, though.
Like I say, they were the same last year and they came through for me, so I've no reason to doubt them this year.
In that case, remember that the 4S sim doesn't fit in the 5. It's a micro sim vs. a nano sim.

I agree with Gruber that both of them look very much alike especially when you talk about industrial design

Question on iTunes match. You don't have to have the actual music files on a web-connected PC/Mac at all times do you (after the initial match)?
Meaning, my Macbook Air is only 256GB, so most of my music is on an external HD. Can I attach the external, turn on match, sync, then unplug the external with no issues?

that wan't the point though, Josh was saying that it doesn't need to be mentioned at every point in time and beaten over the readers head, which again was addressed in Josh's blog entry which I'm starting to think you didn't read

yes, AFTER you have successfully match/uploaded the songs on iTunes Match you can remove the songs from your hard drive
Verizon support rep told me my phone is still shipping the 21st, despite my card not being charged. They (the website?) also fucked up my order, since an upgrade was transferred from one line to another, the phone would have been activated under my brother's number instead despite the site very clearly showing my number during checkout.
Short version: Verizon's site is a giant mess, and I am hopeful I'll get a phone sometime in the future.

You might need to "delete" the music from your local library (keep files so they remain on your external, and icloud copies of course). Otherwise iTunes might complain about missing files when opened without the external drive present. But after that it should happily show all your cloud music just fine.
I'm not sure you have to "delete" the music from your local library, iTunes might be clever enough to not complain about files being missing locally when there are cloud copies present.
I personally have my Macbook with no local music on it added to Match so it can access all my synced music that originated from my desktop PC.
