In my opinion, it is not a smart move to go for the iPhone until a few iterations have gone by. There are bound to be bugs. If you're not so concerned with brand, there are a number of smartphones available on the market that have even more features than the iPhone. You just have to remember that companies who have been in the market for some time are more likely to have products that perform as advertised.

Submission + - Google's Evil NDA

An anonymous reader writes: Google claims that it's motto is "Do No Evil" — but they sure have an evil NDA! In order to be considered for employment there, they require you to sign an agreement which forbids you to "mention or imply the name of Google" in public ever again. Further, you can't tell anyone you interviewed there, or what they offered you, and you possibly sign away your rights to reverse engineer any of Google's code ever. And this NDA never expires. Luckily, someone has posted the contents of the NDA before he signed it and had to say silent forever.

The system uses organic molecules as transistors, microelectromechanical switches, and miniature copper coils to transmit energy using electromagnetic induction. http://www.justchromatography.com/general/world-wi thout-wires
