LaGuardia is pretty bad, but the weather delays make it even worse this time of year.

I can't wait for a cell phone that can take decent pictures at night.

Wouldn't Cupertino be Apple's Mecca?

I hated LaGuardia, but I freakin' loved NYC.

Going to a Sox/Yankees game at Yankee Stadium and getting mercilessly prodded by a sea of navy blue for being a Sox fan...one of the most thrilling and uncomfortable nights of my life.

Sox won, too.

Maybe, but they they don't have that huge glass Kaaba in Cupertino.

That's some high resolution. For some reason when I take pictures with my iPhone, the resolution is really small (not nearly as large as the pics you posted). Even importing them to iPhoto and opening them up there, the size is still pretty small. What am I missing?

The pictures you take have to be the same size, since there's no way to change the camera settings. The only way to get a smaller size picture from an iPhone would be to email it to someone. In that case, the resolution is reduced.

If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on the "I" (information) button on the bottom left of the window, it'll tell you the resolution. It should be 1600 x 1200.

Ah, you're right. Thanks for the tip.

I'm in New York on business currently, and I've noticed that AT&T's EDGE service is WAY faster than it is where I live (close to Wilmington, DE). Looking up stuff on my iPhone here in NYC is almost like via wifi in my home (ok, not that fast, but still.... EDGE here in NYC is faster than where I live).

That is quite the atmosphere. Hopefully the sox can maintain their lead in the east.
