With the upgrade, iPhone users will finally catch up with BlackBerry users, who have always been able to search their messages and sort them by a variety of criteria.

Ever since U.S. President Barack Obama told the Israelis to freeze the settlements - and meant it, as opposed to previous U.S. Administrations that barked but never bit on that subject - the right has been worried that Netanyahu might cave. In fact, Netanyahu left himself familiar wiggle room on settlements too, saying the Israeli government would freeze settlements but allow room for natural growth (translation: ultra-religious families of eight should not feel the need to restrain their rate of reproduction...
