About the only thing the iPhone has on the G1 is the onscreen magnifying glass, which lets you zoom in on text you want to edit. Otherwise, the functional differences between the phones were either inconsequential or improved in the G1. I thought I would miss Apple's iTunes, but downloading music on the G1, from Amazon's MP3 store, worked just fine and none of the songs were copy protected. And I definitely did not miss having to sync my phone with a computer to transfer applications, download songs or update my operating system - something you often wind...
...more of a bargain, but the G1 is far from perfect. The keys on its keyboard are almost comically tiny. The touch-sensitive onscreen zoom feature isn't as intuitive as the iPhone's. And the rumored cut-and-paste function in e-mail is a bit dopey: it doesn't let you rearrange individual words or phrases; instead, you can only cut and paste an entire message.

BLAM! go some guns, SPLAT! goes the body of an Asian man against the second-floor window, and CRUNCH! ZOOM! goes Dale's car in escape mode. (CRUNCH! because he's smashed two adjacent vehicles trying to make his getaway.) In his panic he dropped the marijuana cigarette he was toking - evidence that sends Ted and his gang tearing after Saul. The rest of the picture is a bunch of knowing, giggly...
...then, so are most things about Cross Match. The company was founded in 1996 by Scott, a medical ultrasound specialist, and two fellow engineers turned garage inventors, Jim Davis, who worked on the engine of the SR-71 Blackbird at Lockheed, and Ellis Betensky, who improved Vivitar zoom lenses and pioneered computer-aided design for cameras...
...Coca-Cola's biggest bottling plant in China, located in Shanghai, plastic bottles and aluminum cans zoom by on conveyer belts, weaving in and out of massive machines that shape, clean and fill the containers. Grimy wastewater, generated from the cleaning of water filters and the heating and cooling of drinks, is shunted to a separate building behind the factory where it is treated so it can be used for street-cleaning, car-washing and other secondary uses. Leaking pipes have been fixed to save water, and a dry lubricant is used to keep conveyer belts running smoothly with less...
