iPhone or iPod Touch...

I've been passively thinking this over...

iPod touch: 8gig for a wide-screen, touch-controlled iPod with built-in Wifi, the ability to surf the net and run YouTube video over it, and buy music over Wifi.  Oh, and the wifi does WPA unlike my Zaurus due to the card I have.  $299, add $100 for a 16 gig model.

iPhone:  $100 more than the iPod Touch 8gig.  Adds on a AT&T-locked GSM phone, unlimited EDGE for $20 more on current plan or $60 for the lowest postpaid plan for it, a camera that takes halfway decent pics w/o flash, visual voicemail, integrated Yahoo and Google mail.  You're locked in for two years if switching plans.

The safe bet would be the Touch.  While I would get functionality, I'd be locked in and with my employment situation, I may not have this job contract renewed due to budget concerns.  I'll be lucky if they did renew me.  I don't know and I'm not wanting to risk it.

The iPod Touch it is.

Quote from a person in SL accused of copying the SexGen beds, alias of Volkov Catteneo.

The origional creator, Kevin Alderman (aka Stroker Serpentine in SL, head of Eros LLC), is suing him for copyright infringement.  Problem is... Volkov lied to Second Life in registering.

So first, Kevin's got to get IP addresses and date-time stamps of when Volkov's transferred money and when Volkov's been on SL.  Two subpeonas later, he's got them.  Now he's been granted two new subpoenas to AT&T and Charter, who are supposedly Volkov's ISPs.

So who owns the account the IP address belonged to at those times Volkov's been on SL?  Reportedly, his family.

Oh his family's going to know about it real soon.
