Comments on comments and iPhone

Anonymous has left a comment on the post "iPhone name issues":

"Don't see how you can talk about the name and ignore the fact that it already belongs to someone else. Along with the SEC investigations and a contract with AT&T. I guess "Think Different" is "out-the-window" -- Apple is just another corporate machine seeing nothing but the bottom line, just like your vaunted Google. (Are they paying you for all this promotion?.) You know NYTimes posted Pogue's article FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES on Janyuary 10th - learn to use the results page. The reason you didn't get "Web" results for your search is because Google, like Yahoo and the rest, is SIX MONTHS behind on crawls -- you have to provide a credit-card umber if you want them to post your website as a result for a SEARCH FOR YOUR PRODUCT within 6-to-12 months of release.

"Photographers talking about the Job-Monster's latest Monster and not mentioning that it takes pictures (but no Video-conf capability) seems strange. So you guys have reduced your gadget count from 3 to 2? Let's consider blueberry - that makes the pretty touch-screen irrelevant for hands-free. So what we're left with is a phone+PDA. Already got one, but thanks for playing. This "thing" looks like a good PROTOTYPE - might be something worth having in about 2 years & 4 months (after TWO more generations of technology integration, price drops, and non-AT&T connectivity).

"Moderation seems to completely void all spontaneity AND integrity from this blog - an no reason was given. I will find another place to converse - in two-way mode: DIALOG, thank you. Sitting in judgement on the validity of critisism obviates a writer's credibility. Good luck."

Dear Mr. Anonymous: I admit it seems a shame to risk missing out on wholesome dialogue like this, but heck, you can't have everything.

Now excuse me, I have to get back to shilling for Google and Apple. Unless something better comes along, like Enron or Halliburton.
