Speaking as a former moderator, I can safely say, that NO-ONE takes more abuse here, than moderators. I have seen my fare share of how abuse is dispatched here. And from my recollection, you have sent your fair share of volleys, Covfan. So you excuse me, if find it mildly amusing, if you have a moral fit over being called a moron. I see it as nothing less, than one of fates great stokes of irony. Nevertheless... report me if you will. I have nothing against you doing so.
Regarding the iOS4 4.01 firmware... I totally agree. Smoke and mirrors the way.

I find three things worthy of comment here...
1) While Gav might not be into the whole iCrap thing, he heavily subscribes to the general trend, through other areas of the wonders of technological gadgetry, that is distributed in our society. I trust I do not need to remind you in more detailed ways, why I see this to be the case. However, that would explain the "no frowning". A drinking crowd does not frown upon those that prefer wine instead of beer. But they do find non-drinkers an odd fellow.
2) I never called anyone a moron for liking to live their life like this. I called Covfan a moron, because IMHO,
he IS a moron. Go back and see this is in fact the case.
3) Finally, I guess your sore reaction to my moron comment, stems from the perception, that it includes you, since you are an iPhone owner. This is in any case, what I read. As I said earlier, this is not what I wrote. I suggest you give some thought, to why would chose to read it this way.
Finally, all I said, I said exactly as I see it. I would not have it any other way. If a false message was to be delivered, I would prefer the grumpy messenger over the happy back patter any day of the week. I would prefer the same, even if the message was true. Wouldn't you?
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
