Why does everyone seem to hate the 16GB white version of the iPhone 3G?
I think that Johnny Ive and his team that he whips into photoshop mode as he stands by Steve Jobs’ side riding swiftly through the design department of the Apple campus on a glorious Apple branded chariot driven by beautiful white stallions (ok so maybe a little bit of poetic license there) do a fantastic job of making products that, if legal, I know some people would marry for their beauty.
The latest installment to the Apple design family is the iPhone 3G. Much similar to the iPhone 1.0, the iPhone 3G has one distinct difference. The back. On the 1.0 model the iPhone had a mostly metal back with a small black plastic bit towards the bottom.
This will probably look familiar to you all but what about the latest 3G iPhone design. The latest iPhone design has 2 different backs. Although the front is almost indistinguishable from the old iPhone the back looks quite different.

After a bit of drooling by Mac users, AMD has now released the ATI Radeon HD 3870 card for Mac & PC. According to AMD, the card is optimized for use with Apple’s Mac Pro systems and brings the noise and the funk with 512MB of GDDR4 RAM, 320 stream processors, PCI Express 2.0 support and twin dual-link DVI ports for when you need to rock both of your 30-inch Cinema HD displays.
When it launches in about a month, look to have an extra $129 in your pocket so you can grab one fresh off the line. Check the link below for a full list of specs.

Lately there have been words going around about Steve Job’s health after his appearance on the Moscone stage as he pulled back the curtains on the iPhone 3G. People have been speculating and rumors have been flying around about his health.
In 2004 Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but has been healthy after the surgery. People have exchanged words and the speculation is either his cancer has come back or he is suffering from a common bug and the statement from Apple officially says that thankfully it is the latter.
