When the technical team learns how to set Mac OSX’s time correctly, Apple’s world takeover will be complete. As I tweeted while in an argument with Microsoft Zune guy at New Media Expo, Apple is overtaking Microsoft and all Microsoft is doing is trying to PR this puppy, and should be manning all resources on building a better next version.

And for those of you on Brightkite, I didn’t check into Philly and posted this in Las Vegas instead of Philly. Anyway to got back and fix this?

The iPhone is a very personable tool that I use to live. Now that it has been shattered I can’t help but feel the same way.

This was a result of my first time ever dropping the phone.

I have had the iPhone 3G for less than a month. It was a two foot fall (slipped out of my hand) directly on it’s screen on cement.

I went to the Apple store in Whitehall, PA and they denied my request for a replacement, saying that a 2 foot drop is my fault and they apply the same rules to handhelds as they do computers.

My options: consist of $500 to get a new one or the $300 to refurbish. There is also the factory warranty voiding perfoming (not worth anything anyways) $5 plastic replacement.

I have heard stories of different Apple stores having different policies on replacing these. And the good thing is that I travel alot for Viddler. Over the next few weeks I am going to be in NYC, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and I am going to try to find the cool Apple Genius that will replace this free of charge. I feel this is my only other option, asside from just dealing with it and joining a class action lawsuit.

If you can help out, and know a cool Apple Store Genius/employee, please email me: rsandie@viddler.com

Colin recently blogged about this happening and I remember this happening to me. Check out the Napa Valley Sunset I took and crack down the middle:

Like Colin’s it added some flavor to the photo and am not all that mad.
