While most people tend to debate the comic merits of Shemp vs. Curly with great bias,it must be pointed out that upon closer inspection Shemp was in his own right a very deft slapstick comic in his ownright.

Yes,Curly had terrfic timing,wildly manic routines and his "N'yuk,N'yuk" stooge cry, but Shemp also had his special moments. Who among us can forget his "wet haircut"?,everytime Moe took a pipe wrench or 2x4 to his skull,Shemps hair would fly forward in front of his eyes and he would utter his eeeb eebb eebb!

What about the classic Shemp routine with the power saw across the babys skull? Could Curly truly have brought anything more to that skit?

Dont get me wrong,Curly was truly a gifted artist,why to this day I still act out some of his wildly moronic acts at socially inappropriate times at work and among friends,but every once in a while I'll find my thoughts drifting to something Shemp had done and pretty soon I'm laughing loudly to myself while uttering,"Boy that crazy Shemp!"

This being said,I must confess I have little affection for Joe Besser and his "big sissy" routine. Besser was never Stoogeworthy and should never have been allowed to soil the groups sterling reputation for bring us top notch entertainment,but I'll leave that to another day.

I am glad though that someone created this wonderfull site devoted to our beloved Stooges.

Well its official! Apple needs to ask Bill Gates how to create software updates that work! updated to 3.1 and the phone runs like a dead turtle. Now when I go on youtube the videos load slower than before and the fidelity of the picture has suffered to such a great extent that I can no longer tell whos screwing who! In addition to this (as though this werent enough) I can no longer browse porn on my iphone on topheavy and other big boob sites. Maybe I'm wrong but i thought updates were supposed to IMPROVE the performace of whatever device they are applied to wether it be a car,computer or my dick. I WONT be buying another iphone,I think I'll look to blackberry next time.

Thanks to the jackass's at apple my phone is now laying in pieces on the floor. I was still on 2.0.2 and updated to 3.0 and the damn phone ran worse than before and the battery ran down about twice as fast. I tried to restore my phone to 2.0.2 and it failed,finally after spending 30 minutes on the phone with apple I got so pissed I threw the iphone into the wall and stomped it until it was nothing but rubble. Why cant those dumb f*cks at Apple pull their heads out of their moms pouch and release updates that work!

I'd like to see more options on my camera, background processing, flash for safari or at least an that has flash on it, complete iPhone landscape mode with the ability to lock the phone into portrait or landscape if you'd like, something similar sbsettinga on jailbroken phones, a picture in the background, something similar to the categoris app for jailbroken iPhones, ability to download all email attachments, like download pics and videos goes to picture app, and audio files goes to voice recorder save list, or even change the pictures app to media files so you can store pictures in a folder, videos in another, and audio in another, abilty to add folders in the pictures app so you can make your own albums instead of going through your phone and sorting it all out, augmented reality, more interactive phone features, such as have more clickabke areas on the home screen like clicking the status bar to show you information or a way to get to settigs faster. Ability to hide apps, Picturs next to contacts in address book, Bluetooth filesharing with other phones, password protect different apps, and background notifications and abilty for the iPhone to have a keyboard that allows vibration(probably would act az a sperate keyboard under the settings)... My iPhone 3gs is jailbroken and I have a whole theme plus apps running in the background, mtiple apps, and push, with all the settings feature on like Bluetooth and locations, my 3gs battery life has not lost much life as it did unjailbroken ao let's figure, all of these features are on my iPhone 3gs, and I can still use it qll day without charging and mind you I am Always on my phone, that's how I'm typing this

Outside of short battery life, my only major problem is the 0.4 second vibrate for emails/sms/etc. I have missed every single message today due to that!!

I hope they fix the bluetooth problem where you can't control the volume on your headset. I just bought the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 and it is a paperweight because the volume can't be controlled on the IPHONE.

I just hope that they fix the wifi issues from 3.0 firmware and also I am mad that there are no new features in 3.1 for the iPod touch only for iPhone 3g and 3gs

Anyone know why the 3G doesn't have voice commands? Is it really because of the faster processor in the 3GS, or is Apple just gimping the older handsets out of a cool feature?

Calendar notifications need to be snooze-able, dangit!

In reference to the question about good stereo headset: I bought the Motorola S9-SD and they are great (even water resistant). Now that 3.1 will allow you to skip forward/backward using the headset, they'll be perfect.

Also, the S9-SD allows you to take phone calls as well, after I purchased them I started worrying that they were headphone only, but they do have a mic and apparently sounds pretty clear on the other end.

I cannot agree anymore!!! The option to push an event without setting an alarm everytime. Even post a badge on the calander icon!!!

I thought people knew this... You can have all the apps you want with 3.0, but the ones you load after 11 pages are filled can be accessed only by using the search page.

"Reportedly, the iPhone Paste feature [will be] “smart” enough to change alphanumeric phone numbers to pure numbers (i.e. 1-800-FLOWERS to 1-800-356-9377)."

It already is - just not in the phone app. Try it your self cut: cut/copy/paste is available when inputting a number into contacts. If you paste text-based phone number into the phone field for a contact, it will save it as the text based number. When you choose to dial, it will display the numerals that are dialed.

I think in the Camera app it will have zoom, because apple is not aproving of the app Camera Zoom.

By: Nigel

Updates apple needs to consider:

The Downloadable tones for text
Be able to choose Name display instead of the phone number display from numbers not in your address book.
3G being turned on by safari automatically and programs like it WHEN its running and then automatically shutting 3G back off when it's done with it.
Same as #3 but with location services.

And of course the big one for the next generation I-phone, a back that has battery compartment access to replace your battery like Nokia and I'm sure most other phones out there have.

I totally agree with PDM777,(item27), the calendar alerts are pathetic and not up to the job. I do not know how, even if it is possible, to overcome this problem. Any ideas?.

By: ryan

im not quite sure no body can figure out how to downgrade these things. its simple just restore to the earlier version. youll get error 1015 and the unplug your iphone hold both the hold button and the home button for 15 seconds then your phone will reset and be back to 3.0 I hope they will release an unlock for the betas so non developers will be able to use them

has anyone noticed a bug on 3.1 where you add a contact and then try and text them and only the area code, or first 3 digits of the number go in the to field and it fails to send? the only way I can properly add contacts is if they text me first and then add the number that way.

I think what I would like 2 see in the coming software update is the ability to b in landscape mode no matter in what screen I'm in... If yu take a look at the crappy blackberry storm from verizon wireless even from the home screen yu and flip it to the left or right no matter what screen yur in and it's in landscape mode...I love landscape mode...it's just sucks that yu can't have it in everythng

@ Al, I think you are probably half-right and half-wrong when you say that "it doesn’t matter how many apps you have currently pushing because you are always only connected to Apple’s server. Adding another app to your pushed list will not affect your battery, it must be something else."

While you're right, there is probably only 1 connection between phone and server, if you're pushing out more notifications as opposed to less, I would think it would have to affect battery life. Similar is POP e-mail: the more you poll the server, the worse battery life. I would think the more times a connection is made with the push servers, the more there is going to be some affect on battery life. I could be wrong.

@icebike I havent tried this myself but I heard that you can install more apps than the number of pages allow, because even if you can't see them you can still access them via Spotlight search.

By: icebike

icebike — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:56:46 +0000

@Conner:

With OS 3, the number of pages you can fill with applications has been raised from 9 to 11. This gives you a maximum number of applications you can display of 180.

So three hundred Apps? Not unless you have different apps on each phone.

Unless you are jailbroken, in which case you can't blame Apple for your battery problems till you un-jailbreak and try it for a while.

@Chris - I would think the new TomTom application that will allow for hands free calling will have that new feature, no?

Has anyone found a worthy A2DP bluetooth headsets (stereo)? Nothing out there seems to work 100% with 3.0/GS.

"Too bad I can’t..I would like to have my crappy battery life back, at least it was stable…just **** battery."

Does that mean battery issues ARE addressed in 3.1?

By: Al

Al — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:11:07 +0000

@Connor - When you enable Push Notifications your phone connects to Apple's push servers ONLY. Servers from the third party app writer communicate to Apple's server. For this reason, it doesn't matter how many apps you have currently pushing because you are always only connected to Apple's server. Adding another app to your pushed list will not affect your battery, it must be something else.

By: Al

Al — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:08:50 +0000

@David Smith - The iPhone requires you to adjust volume on the headset itself just like when the phone is connected through a dock connector and you have to adjust the volume on the speakers themselves. I agree, it's a bit of a hassle sometimes to not be able to adjust volume on the phone.

On another note, hooray for pasting into the phone app!!

Hi yes I am definitely seeing major battery problems i have the 1st 2nd and 3rd generation and i don't use my first so I can't tell you on there but with my 2nd and 3rd its been horrible i have over 300 apps and every-time one switches to push i do notice a difference

By: David Smith

David Smith — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:29:56 +0000

Is it now possible to control the volume via both the handset and a bluetooth headset (when using the headset) whilst playing podcasts or music ??.

It's possible during phone calls, but not otherwise.

Hi. Thanks for the article. Glad they fixed the bug regarding copy/paste in the phone keypad screen (Apple bug # 6635217). I logged that a while back via Apple's bug reporter DB. Do you happen to know if they have fixed the bug whereby you cannot copy from a calendar event (Apple bug # 6645247) and where the calendar app doesn't obey the "Ignore Alarms" option from iCal for synced calendars (# 6599688)?

Would be nice if they improved phone call volume - both regular and speaker - as was as the Battery life, which seems to be draining quicker than expected on 3GS iPhones.

@Raul: Disable the MMS feature, and your group text should go through as a standard SMS.

@Nick: Indeed, tapping on the call button on my earpiece does initiate Voice Control on the iPhone 3GS running 3.1 beta.

I hope they hurry up on getting Pandora fixed. Seems that there is a compatibility issue, and Pandora no longer works in 3.1.

quote from Raul "I hope they also fix the bug in the Messages Application. If you add more than one person it becomes a “Group MMS” "

Yeah that was a costly finding for me. I took a new phone number for my iPhone and sent out a large group sms to notify friends thinking it would be free as I get included sms in my plan. Turns out it sends as MMS which cost 50 cents for each recipient

Were you not able to test the voice control over bluetooth using a headset? I'd quite like to know whether its as easy as holding down the call button!
