- JHaze, on 01/31/2008, -4/+148Thats an iPod Touch, not iPhone.
Maybe Thats why the EDGE won't work? - onemanfilmcrew, on 01/31/2008, -2/+88So the internet is shutting down across the globe, and now there is trouble with cell phones. Wasn't this the prelude to a Skynet induced Judgment Day?
- Goodbyeworld, on 01/31/2008, -2/+69EVERYBODY PANIC!!
- Ireland, on 01/31/2008, -19/+79That's class.. Edge is down and they are accompanying that story with an image of the touch, which as it happens doesn't have Edge.
PS, digg is at it again. Doesn't work with Safari. Hmm, I wonder what browser Rose uses (I know, it's called sarcasm) - RyeBrye, on 01/31/2008, -4/+57How can you tell if Edge is down... does it get even slower? I mean... it'd be like determining if a glacier stopped moving or something
- Nauthez, on 01/31/2008, -2/+46So, EDGE is down...and the internet in Asia is down...smells like skynet is trying to take over.
- colincornaby, on 01/31/2008, -5/+38Is 3G magically protected from the same sort of failures or something?
- TWillz, on 01/31/2008, -10/+41Inaccurate. I'm in Chi-Town and EDGE is working just fine, thank you.
- stlic, on 01/31/2008, -3/+33Umm.. The guy was talking about the fact that the picture used is of an iPod Touch not iPhone. Do you still feel clever?
- Tripacer9999, on 01/31/2008, -12/+37Does this have anything to do with the current internet outage in the middle east and parts of asia?
- schnikies79, on 01/31/2008, -4/+26Don't always assume everything is a conspiracy.
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -3/+25Skynet is online.
- supporter12, on 01/31/2008, -3/+20"EDGE is down for most of the midwest US"
MOST!
k? - inactive, on 01/31/2008, -2/+19asia, africa, now the iphones? SKYNET IS ACTIVE
- Mejogid, on 01/31/2008, -2/+17While I don't know for sure, the Asian continent outage was caused by undersea cabling being broken by an anchor, and I can't see how that would affect a US network getting information from largely US based servers.
- MacEnvy, on 02/01/2008, -1/+16Here in NYS too. I'm posting this via EDGE with Bluetooth tethering actually, so I hope it doesn'

- kinseyincanada, on 01/31/2008, -1/+12yes the vast conspiracy to get Clinton into the white house involves taking down a cell phone network......what is this the next plot line for the new season of 24?
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -1/+12Wow, networks are down all over the place. Something is up? Anon? Oh no, ***** infrastructure thats it. More copies of Undertow for everyone.
- subliminalurge, on 01/31/2008, -3/+14Um.... Don't tell us to get 3G. Tell the carriers to roll it out faster.
I'm on my second 3G capable phone already, and there's still no 3G within at least 200 miles of my home. - deadhead05, on 02/01/2008, -1/+11Nope, we tie our iPods to our MOTORAZRs and pretend.
- thelostemperor, on 01/31/2008, -1/+11Having a sense of humor means realizing something's a joke even if it's lame.
- ZenMojo, on 01/31/2008, -2/+12Couple that with a satellite falling from the sky and a mile-long UFO spotted over Texas and...uh...holy *****..... CARTER, KUCINICH, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

- virtualball, on 02/01/2008, -3/+11*Test for Safari* If you see this, it means it works.
- Misogyny, on 02/01/2008, -1/+9Or what you read on digg.
- martalli, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10I think this might answer why EDGE is so slow. It is running on servers out of Dubai and Bangalore.
- Proctor, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10The iPhone's browser rendering kills most 3G phones browser rendering times.

- Typhoon2009, on 02/01/2008, -5/+12Did the citizens of Chicago realize that ignorant fools like me think Chi-town means China Town?
- MindTrigger, on 01/31/2008, -3/+9So did that US Spy Satellite crash down already or something? :)
- dext3r, on 02/01/2008, -1/+7I hate "Chi-Town".
"Chicago" is less chars to type and you don't sound like some wanna-be fool. - Archer007, on 01/31/2008, -1/+7Not a fan of the ladies, Trebek?
- Yareking, on 01/31/2008, -3/+9Breaking: Internet is mad
Breaking: Anon did it
Breaking: Mpaa and Riaa took down internet due to piracy
Breaking: I'll be bury - Phatt138, on 01/31/2008, -1/+7Um...even if you could use the iPhone with other providers out of the box, this would still be big news for the millions of people who use EDGE to access online services on their phones.
Can't blame Jobs for this one, sorry. Though I'm glad that you revel in the inconvenience of others... - airwalke, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5A-OK in Des Moines. What's this "MOST" of the midwest business again?
- supremebeing18, on 02/01/2008, -1/+6I think your confusing the midwest with the south.
