Well finally after 12 odd days of patiently and not so patiently waiting for the iPhone 3G I ordered to ship, I awoke this morning to be greeted with a notification email saying that it has shipped. After much rejoicing and laps around the apartment I checked the FedEx tracking.
The good news is that it [...]
Now I’ll admit I’m geek enough that when I first read this I was looking for some reference to Personal Computer rather than Political Correctness. I was sent the below definition by friend and neighbor Ken and have to agree with the sentiments whole heartedly.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal [...]
For those of you disappointed by AT&T implementing the CAPTCHA method to prevent the queus running against their database herebethedragons has updated their script to defeat it.
An except from the site
AT&T assigned a Captcha system to their order status script to defeat the page, the only problem is that they pay the wrong people. [...]
In AT&T’s ongoing effort to thwart the sites around, that enable the many frustrated customers trying to get a glimpse into the vast queues of those awaiting their iPhone 3G, they have finally implemented a system that will stop the queue sites dead. The oft used character entering field before the query runs.

ID Software recently launched a mobile team that will tackle hand held titles and the iPhone would make an excellent [...]
Today makes 10 since I ordered my iPhone 3G. In an amazing turn of events, the world hasn’t stopped since I don’t have the latest gadget. Life has continued pretty much as normal and I have been able to function. Sure I’ve had periods where I have been obsessed with refreshing forum threads and queue [...]
In the ongoing saga of the iPhone 3G release, some further AT&T machinations have proved to be quite interesting.
After taking down the order number search function AT&T put it back yesterday afternoon. I can only assume, not because it’s accurate but fun nonetheless, that it was due to folks posting about how to get iPhone [...]
It looks like the super thread is starting to wind down as some of the more vocal participants start to finally get there iPhone 3G’s. Posts are still coming but not as fast and furious as even yesterday morning. I can’t help but think a large part of that is the shutting down of the [...]
It looks like ATT&T got sick of the screen scraping sites grabbing info for those waiting impatiently for their iPhone 3G’s. After a brief outage this morning the order status page was back up without the option to use your order number to check availability.
