Reports are widespread in the Apple community that some 3g iPhones are cracking. 1st gen iPhones are unaffected since they use metal rear casing. The problem is mainly with the white models, although it may just be because they are harder to see in the Black versions. Apple are no doubt watching the long threads appearing on the Apple support pages. Allegedly some postings are also mysteriously disappearing. The problem may be due to several factors. Heat/poor plastic/under engineering/pressure. Around the headphone socket where the casing is extremely narrow is particularly susceptible. The cracks themselves are extremely fine, but in my view are still totally unacceptable. Lets hope this is not a widespread problem.

Been extremely busy recently, so poor old Vox has taken a back seat. Will be posting very soon. In the mean time I have my 600rr back now. The Honda dealer did a fantastic job. Andy who repaired my bike was trained by the Honda racing Team so it was in great hands. Thanks Andy!

Yes, I fully realize that its sad getting excited over a speech. But when its the 'apple icon' himself how can you not.

I was confirmed yesterday. A really moving experience. The Bishop was a great guy, someone who you could share a few pints with. Definitely a moment I shall remember.

Oh dear. yesterday one mile away from home returning from a fantastic ride on my new Honda thinks went rather pear shaped. 2nd gear, knee kissing the tarmac fully cranked over carefully modulating the throttle.. and then it happened. The front tyre could not hold any longer and the bike low sided, with me following closely behind. It was one of those slow motion moments. I swore under my helmet as i watched my pride and joy sliding down the road making a very expensive horrible noise. Bugger. I am so gutted about it. I'm ok. My gear fully protected me. Bit sore here and there. Boots, gloves and suit all showing signs of tarmac v leather. Bits on the bike knackered goes as follows..
