DAY 1...Keep Cheering for Steve
MacWorld applaudes Steve Jobs and I'm out of business.
Like most big Apple fans, I couldn't wait to update my iPhone to 1.1.3, as soon as it was announced I went to run the updates and sync with iTunes.
The new Google maps was gonna make life so much better, as the government could find me even easier if they wanted too. Unfortunately, while Steve Jobs was getting applause I was being put out of business.
I've updated hundreds of Apple products as an ex-employee of Apple (yes, I left on good terms, yes, I love the company and yes, I still own the Stock). I can live without my iPod and without mobile web, but my phone is the lifeline of my business. I suppose I need to carry a Nokia or Motorola for when I really need to make a call. iTunes seems to have been down or my iPhone is finished. I never hacked or unlocked the iPhone and I always make my donations by purchasing music from the iTunes store.
But while Steve Jobs got his applause I missed numerous important business and personal phone calls. Apple, please be sure your updates are correct before you mess with my livelyhood and increase the available bandwith on iTunes. You guys killed me today!!
Be sure to wait before you update to 1.1.3, either until an announcement is made or iTunes is brought back online
Day 2 no Texting or Internet outside of Wi-Fi
It is now Wed. Jan. 16th 2008, one full day after MacWorld, the world is still Applauding Steve Jobs and my iPhone is still not working.
It has been confirmed from AT&T technical service that due to issues with their system and the 1.1.3 iPhone update that all (At least Chicago) iPhone accounts had the Text Messageing and Edge Internet service deleted from users accounts. There is still no ETA on when our iPhones will return to full-service rather than being...Big Cell Phones.
The rep at AT&T of course blamed the 1.1.3 update and the friendly, happy Apple Store folks fall back on...it's an AT&T issue. Quite frankly, I no longer care. This is hour 28 of no Texting, email or internet for iPhone users in at the very least the ChicaoLand Area.
Steve, stop playing to the crowd and get this stuff straight. This is not the iPod busines, texting and mobile email are mission critical for business today.
Please let me know if anyone is able to nail down an ETA on the return of the services we are paying for.

Here's you Private Beta invite LinkWhat can I do at Qassia?
You can add your websites, and get unlimited quality backlinks. There is no need to pay, or to link back to Qassia. Websites are processed instantly and ranked by the amount of credits you have amassed. To earn credits, you can add
intel, i.e. tidbits of intelligence.
Why is Qassia needed?
Promoting a new site has never been easy, and it's
getting tougher every day. Site owners are forced to spend hours upon hours doing mundane and unproductive tasks such as exchanging links. Many give up, and splurge on advertising - which is why Google Adwords earns $1 billion per quarter.
Ready to join? How will Qassia generate traffic?
At Qassia, you will get credit for adding your
intel. The more credit you get, the better your sites will rank. This provides incentive for site owners to contribute to Qassia. Thus harnessing the minds of millions, Qassia will become the largest repository of intelligence on the web.
I recently joined an up and coming website called Qassia. It is a website where you add all of this “intel”, their short word for intelligence, which are more or less articles. Althought they do not have to be full blown articles, that is more or less what I consider them to be. With that being said there is a huge advantage with Qassia, and Article Marketing. You can use the Qassia Dollars, as leverage for your article marketing efforts.
Basically for every single piece of intel or article you add, you get a backlink to the site of your choice. That is only the first good part. You also get recognition on their top 50 sites list on the landing page if you net worth or total “Qassia Dollars“, is the highest. You get these dollars by referring new members and adding intel or articles to the website. In addition to the top 50 sites listing, you also get a listing in the “top 20 users by credit” listing, and “top 20 users by intel”. The top 7 are displayed all of the time. The top 20 you have to click a link to view the whole list.
What this does is provide a link back to your “Qassia Profile”. Once they click that link it takes them back to your profile where your latest intel is listed. If they are interested in one article you’ve written they will likely check out other articles you have written. This can in the end, ramp up your “article marketing” efforts. This could lead to more traffic to your website that each of these articles are linked to. This could also lead to some very targeted easy sales. You can leverage the referrals you get by also having a link from their profile back to your profile. Write great informed articles, and your “Article Marketing“, could lead to easy sales, because people buy from people they trust. Once they buy from you once, they will likely buy from you again and again. This was all made possible by writing a few articles or intel on the “Qassia.com” website.
