O2 telling porkies over iPhone pre-order deliveries today
O2 has said, in an official statement, that ‘customers that were successful in the pre-order will receive their iPhone 3G on Friday. The only exception is customers who live in certain postcodes, north from Aberdeen who will receive on Monday’–but I’m not the only one who’s been told by the telecoms company that I won’t get mine until ’some time’ after today. It’s more than irritating when O2 stores have had stock delivered to them for today’s grand unveiling, albeit at the very most 24 units each.

The G8 is, for those who don’t know, an international undemocratic gestalt made up of the governments of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Together, they cook up new ways to manipulate and control people, trade, and money markets.
The G8 famously tell lies about how they’re going to tackle world poverty but then—after near enough promising on their mother’s graves—don’t do much at all other than make excuses. Now the G8 is cooking up draconian new copyright protection laws. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) between the US, EU, and Canada, will give border guards the right to seize our iPods and mobile phones whenever they suspect they contain illegal downloads.
