When did Apple gain 200 pounds?

I thought everyone believed that Microsoft was the 800 pound Gorilla, but it looks like Apple is gaining weight.

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has confirmed that a mechanism exists within the iPhone to let the company unilaterally remove software from the smartphone." Read More ...

I mean that just isn't good, I can see some of the justification for such a mechanism, based on Steve Jobs comments of why it is there. But I think that it should be a user enabled feature. Like the MS Malicious Software removal tool, I can choose to let it install and run or not.

At any rate it will be interesting to see how it all plays out, as many people are pointing out the privacy concerns with this.

Yahoo Email on IPhone

I'm posting this because I spent three days pouring through forums looking for a solution to the problem of getting my yahoo email push to work on my IPhone.

Finally I gave up and thats when I found the solution.

I jumped into my Yahoo mail via the iphone browser, logged in, and started reading my emails. Thats when I noticed a link saying "Get faster email on mobile" so I clicked it thinking this is going to tell me what I already know. To my surprise it said, "You can get yahoo push on your IPHONE" and then it gave me the same steps that I had already tried.

So I tried them again. Thinking well maybe they know that I have an iphone now. Sure enough it worked without a hitch this time around, and I have been in yahoo push mail heaven for a week now.

So I hope this helps the others out there that have been having problems getting this feature to work. Enjoy!
