If the iPhone didn’t exist, I would have the Nexus One in my pocket right now—but then again, if the iPhone didn’t exist, the Nexus One wouldn’t either.

iPhone is a spam magnet
One thing that really annoys me about iPhone is the way that Mail has only two options when it comes to loading images within email messages: Load Remote Images On/Off. There is not middle ground option.
- If you select Off in preferences, images are never displayed within mail messages.
- If you select On in preferences, all images are loaded.
Gmail has the best workflow in these situations. By default, remote images within email messages are not loaded. Instead, Gmail adds an option at the top of the page to show images (if you decide that the email is legitimate and you would like to see all content, including images) or to ‘whitelist’ the sender and then always show images for messages from the same address.
iPhone has an inherent flaw in that by default remote images are loaded. So when you receive a spam message that has somehow bypassed your spam filter, it will be loaded along with all remote images - more often than not verifying your email address in the process and opening yourself up to a torrent of spam to your newly “confirmed” email address.
Apple seem to think that they have an option within iPhone to manually load images which is referenced within iPhone’s user manual and on their support pages. Sadly, no such option actually exists.

I want an E30 M3 so bad.
Button joins Hamilton at McLaren »
Everyone saw it coming so now this official confirmation now seems like a mere formality. I wonder how much he knew - if if he knew at all - about the Mercedes buy-out of Brawn and how it may have affected his decision.
Regardless, it’s now looking like there will be an all-British F1 squad with McLaren and an all-German squad at Mercedes GP… Seems like we’re heading back to the glory days of F1, national teams represent.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
