As many of you know, Cali Lewis from Geekbrief broke a story that someone had figured out how to incorporate copy and paste for the iPhone between applications. There was a huge “to do” about this for obvious reasons and I even covered it in the Moxie Mo Show Episode #17.

As of last night, this awesome news make already been up in flames according to Gizmodo. Read Gizmodo’s article for more information… for a quick read, it’s due to Apple’s iPhone 2.1 firmware that will be pushed out soon. It literally seals the “loophole” that allowed this guy to create copy and paste.

This really sucks. What are your thoughts?

There have been lots of conflicting reports from all the main blog sites about the 3G iPhone. Are we going to have to activate the phone IN THE STORE and how long will that take? Oh, but wait, another blogger claims he has a “source” who says no, we won’t have to activate in store but you only get 30 days to activate your phone once you bring it home or it demolishes into bits and pieces.

So what’s really going on? Well, I found a phenomenal post by Gizmodo and I am giving Gizmodo the ENTIRE credit for this post. Everything below this line is the hard work of the Gizmodo team and God Bless them all. You must click on the link below!

So by now, all of us Apple cult members have thoroughly and thoroughly researched into every known website that vlogs or blogs about Steve Jobs’ awesome key note that was held in San Francisco earlier today. Feel free to check out my three favorite sites for up to the second updates… (Engadget, Gizmodo, TUAW) All three of these sites are major players and I watched all three of them today and literally was hearing the things Steve was announcing to those that were actually in the building as “live blogging time”. So yes, I was quick to put up the first information of Job’s announcement regarding the Macbook Air thanks to the awesome job these sites did in their liveblogging.

Here’s my McCord’s Moxie Simplification of the big keynote address:

(1) Steve seemed confident through out his entire speech which seemed to keep the booooos at bay, if there were any. The first item he mentioned, right off the bat, was the Time Capsule (an airport extreme base station PLUS a hard drive all in one). So those of us who have Macbooks and are getting tired of having to plug in our external hard drive to back up will be quite pleased.

(2) iTunes, iTunes, iTunes – I am SO thrilled with the opportunity of now being able to rent movies via iTunes. And the best part? You can rent a movie on your computer… then if you decide to watch it on your TV, you just push a button (Transfer) and send it to your iPhone. Then connect your iPhone to your TV and voila, you’re good to go. I tested this new service last night with Ratatouille and it worked flawlessly. Done and done.

(3) iPhone 1.1.3 – yes, I decided to stop jailbreaking my iPhone so I restored it and updated to 1.1.3. It’s great. Enough of this topic though…

(4) The thinnest laptop in the world! – MacBook Air – I won’t write much about this because I already did in an earlier post…. but I will leave you with Apple’s new commercial.
