Tom's Essay

By Suzanne Vega

http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/23/toms-essay/
From the article: " The MP3 fools the ear by eliminating the least essential parts of a music file…To create MP3 [Karl-Heinz] Brandenberg had to appreciate how the human ear perceives sound. A key assist in this effort came from Suzanne Vega. ‘I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm,’ Brandenberg recalls. “Somewhere down the corridor a radio was playing “Tom’s Diner.” I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice. "
If true, it is a great story!

Apple, AT&T mum on iPhone 3G issues
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10012420-37.html?tag=nl.e703
From the article: " After his third iPhone 3G continued to cut him off in the middle of his conversations, Ryan Shaw had seen enough. "The phone was a disappointment from the standpoint that it couldn't maintain a consistent connection with the 3G network...All the other features were fantastic," said Shaw, a sales professional living in a Cleveland suburb. But those other features weren't enough to prevent him from returning to Verizon and the BlackBerry after deciding the hassle just wasn't worth it. "

Global iPhone usage poses economic risk
http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/wireless/2008/081108wireless1.html?nlhtwless=ts_081108&nladname=081108wirelessal
From the article: " I was talking to a telecom manager of a large U.S.-based multinational company recently who lamented the fact that worldwide data roaming charges are too steep and unpredictable to justify his business using the multimedia-centric iPhone as an enterprise device. Executives in his organization recently took some complimentary iPhone 3Gs overseas and returned to discover data-usage bills of $4,000 to $5,000 apiece. "
Hardly limited to iPhones, but data charges can really add up!
