When it come to categories, the developers behind WordPress are so confused it’s not even funny how many times they have changed how they handle categories. From different categories for posts and links to merged categories, and now tags and separate categories for posts and links. There is equal confusion when it comes to links, from calling it blogroll to links to bookmarks.

When it comes to Google Adsense, I constantly find myself flip-flopping: sometimes I activate it, then sometimes I remove it, and then it’s back on again. For low traffic sites like mine, Google is basically getting a free ride with Adsense. Other ad sites like Text Link Ads are more worth while than having ugly Adsense ads take up premium space on my site for free. Do I really need the measly few cents Google Adsense entices me with each month, not really!

So on October 1st, I am ridding all my sites of Google Adsense. Enough of Google taking a free ride on my sites. If you are thinking the same thing, and want to join in, post a comment with a link to your site, and I will list it here.

Rule: If you feel Google is taking you for a ride, then on October 1st remove all Google Adsense from all your sites.

Apple has slashed the price of 8GB iPhones by $200, taking it from $599 to $399. Thank you to all the fanboys who bought it first, filling up Apples coffers or maybe not filling it enough, so others can fill it up some more at a lower price.

There is also the new touch screen Wi-Fi enabled, mini-browser included, iPod Touch. It’s pretty much an iPhone without the phone feature. Also check out the new morbidly obese iPod nano

Apple has also made it easier to download music on the go, with the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. There is the new custom ringtone maker, with option to create a 30sec segment from iTunes for $.99 (is Apple trying to make a quick buck here, $.99 for the full song, and another $.99 for a 30sec segment of the same song, who thinks up crap like this!!, even better who are the lame ducks who fall for this crap)

Finally, original iPod renamed to iPod Classic, with new 80GB or 160GB models priced at $249 and $349

All great news, except for those who spent $599 on the iPhone (oh! relax, just wanted to poke at you guys one more time), but investors don’t seem very happy. Come on guys, iPhones at $399 is going to sell like crazy, maybe!

No, not the movie, but AT&T’s iPhone bill. Justine Ezarik, shows off her 300 page iPhone bill!

It doesn’t have to be that way, says AT&T.

“We can always give people a summary bill,” said AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel. “It’s little more than what you owe this month. And there’s always the online option, too, which means you never get a paper bill.”

So, AT&T is lame printing all these paper bills, when they should have defaulted to either summary billing or online billing. Even better, they could have asked this question to the consumer during sign up. The consumer is partly to blame for this non earth friendly fiasco too; if you are that concerned about the trees, and AT&T has online paperless billing, you should have switched to that option in the first place, rather than wait around for a 300 page bill!

Apple Inc. sold about 525,000 iPhones at Apple and AT&T Inc. stores in the first weekend since its June 29 launch, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday, citing an analyst.

Great start for the iPhone, but shares of Apple are slightly down!
