Apple Says Droid X Also Has "Death Grip" Problem

The droid X has 2 antennas - one at the top and one at the bottom, so notice the person has to use their index finger to attenuate the top antenna. Also, the droid X is pretty freakin big, and this guy has pretty big hands, and he has to wrap his entire hand around the device to attenuate the signal.

The problem with the iPhone is that its signal can easily be attenuated with one finger on the problem spot. The Droid X apparently requires a dude with a monstrous hand that's flush against the entire back side of the phone. There's a big difference between the two.

When You Boycott BP Gas Stations, BP Can Profit

I assume you have some sort of other rules though, like you have a minimum amount you have to spend before you get the full rebate (Amex blue?), or an annual fee, or something like that.

My card is 5% back, no strings attached. 2% on travel and food. 1% on everything else. (0% on non-BP gas stations)

By that logic, Big Macs also keep tigers away.

- Hmm how does it work?

It doesn't work. But I don't see any tigers around here do you?

- Lisa, I would like to buy your Big Mac.

I'd choose the BP every time because I have their awesome credit card that gives me 5% cash back on all BP purchases. I haven't gone to a non-BP gas station in 4 years and I probably won't until the day that deal changes.

Perhaps you didn't notice the huge google ads on that page. And now he's getting tons of hits from news sites and Consumerist and the like. Who cares if he gets revenge? He's getting plenty of profit out of this.
