   Like he's one to talk...

   The Facebook iPhone app is the biggest POS app I've ever owned on any platform. Maybe that's the reason his battery is dying an early death.

   fact checking.

   would it hurt to do a little fact checking before posting a PATENTLY untrue story?
   
   according to Gawker who have a link to the FACEBOOK COMMENT THREAD, someone responded to Zuckerdurk™'s whining with "right before iPhone 4?" and Zuckerdurk™ said "My thumbs were hurting from my blackberry so i switched. I'll probably get iPhone 4 if I don't switch to Android".
   
   just because the d00sh is the CEO of facebook doesn't mean he automatically gets the iPhone early...

   Slam on AT&T

   I read his comment as more of a slam on AT&T, with the landline remark. Also, if you are in an area with a lot of 3G contention, the battery dies very, very quickly. Again, AT&T's lack of capacity in the greater SF Bay area is hurting the iPhone.
   
   What surprises me more is that he doesn't already have a slew of iPhones, Blackberries, and Android phones. It isn't like he can't afford the data plans.

   Seriously?

   You people can't tell he was just posting flamebait?
   
   I'll bet he stayed up all night thinking up that one.

   Big Bucket of FAIL

   Wow, a half-hashed out of context repost of a douchebag article on Gawker about a douchebag who hates Apple and can't hire competent iPhone programmers to work on his buggy iPhone crApp.
   
   This whole 'story' is just a big butterknife of FAIL on burned toast. What next, slashdotting?

   Slow News Day?

   Come guys, go out and find some lithium in a war-torn country or something! That would be "news."

   alert

   In a completely unrelated event, the Facebook app was removed by Apple from the App Store shortly after Zuckerberg's comments. The reason for the removal is given as "definitely having nothing to do with slamming the iPhone - SJ^H^H".

   Is he a little slow?

   Is this not the wrong time to be discussing 3GS? I mean that thing is already obsolete and ... oh whatever.

   Yay, for the obvious.

   Maybe next week Zuckerberg can post "...it's hot out today" and all of the interweb blogs will post an article on it with the headline, "Facebook's Zuckerberg says that the sun is hot!".
   
   
   If you guys are really short on news items today, I have some enthralling Facebook posts that you can write some articles on... Here's a few. Feel free to publish any or all of them.
   
   1. "I'm in line at Starbucks and there's an old lady counting out change from her purse. Ugh! This is taking forever!"
   
   2. "Hahaha!!! I just saw a dog chase a cat up a tree!!! Just like in the cartoons!!! Hahaha!
   
   3. I'm at a bus stop and the guy next to me stinks!"
   
   
   You're welcome.

   Don't use Facebook ...

   so I don't care. Mark Zuckerberg is a CEO so he may be getting a ton of calls and it may be draining his battery. He may have wanted to say that with his BB he can change the batteries but he did not. It is ok to complain. He can probably call Steve J and talk to him about it.
   
   This is free nation and everyone has a right to talk. It just happens that MZ is famous so everyone reads what he talks or writes. He may be wrong but can I stop him from saying something? Nope. I can disagree with him and I strongly DISAGREE with his post.

   idiots

   First off, did he really 'announce' that it had poor battery life, or did he just post this fact?
   
   Second, the battery life isn't great, for a phone that is. It's good enough.
   
   Third, why do any of you care what he says? God, you all are so obvious. Someone says something negative about an apple product. Go ballistic and explain why he's an idiot and loser!
   
   Please, that's my job!
