iPhone deconstructed

I never realized how fast people were going to jump on the deconstruction of Apple’s new iPhone. The monday after the weekend release, videos were popping up on You Tube of the deconstruction (more like DESTRUCTION) of the new gadget. Personally, I don’t see how someone could buy a new iPhone, only to take a hammer and nail to it.

There was some sanity on the midst of the craze. Check out http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone . The people at iFixit had done a superb job at the deconstruction of the new iPhone. What’s nice is the even give some hints on how to do the deconstruction yourself with step-by-step instructions and pics.

Apple iPhone Frenzy!

So I hear Apple sold 525,000 iPhones since it’s June 29th launch according to Reuters, with half of the apple stores on the US west coast selling out the first day!  I’m sure more have sold from yesterday to todays posting. For those of you who have been in the dark- hard to believe nowadays, the iPhone is a phone with a web browser and music player that just went on sale last friday.

I have to admit, I really want one. But not enough to switch cellular companies, incurr and early termination fee of $250, pay $500 to $600 for an iPhone (I would have to buy the $600 one- more memory), and then pay AT&T $245/month for the service plan that would allow full funtionality of the iPhone. I think I’ll wait…

For more info on the apple iPhone, visit http://www.apple.com/iphone/?cid=AOS-US-KWG-iPhoneMM-US for the apple iPhone site.

Hello world!

Welcome to Chadfucius Says.
Long Time Blogger, First Time Blogging!
I guess I can’t start without actually explaining the “Chadfucius” thing. It actually started as a nickname given to me during my impressionable middle school years. “Go ask Chadfucius, he probably knows the answer…”, was the half joking, half serious taunt from my peers. Throughout the years it grew into a type of party gag. I was the purveyor of mindless trivia- you know, the stuff you would never take the time to think about unless you were stuck in solitary confinement or some similar situation. Needless to say, I was the favorite team-mate for board games like Trivial Pursuit or Cranium.

The nickname stuck, so here I am- Chadfucius
