Long Time, No Post!

     So its been days and days since our last post - and with good reason!  We've been doing some exciting upgrades to our systems, and our parts just recently came in!  New motherboards have been installed!  We've gotten a new phone system, which seems to be working incredibly well and allows our departments even more efficient communication. 
     guidePosthost has a few new coworkers that might be joining our team - we're keeping the details under our collective hats for now until we have the details ironed out, but we're very excited about the potential new talent we've got joining us! 
     In technology news - biggest story - the possible recall of the new 4G iPhone, of course.  We all know that there have been some issues with the reception capabilities of the new iPhone; since the antenna is on the sides of the phone and human skin - containing water and therefore being conductive - is conducive to electricity the phone loses some reception when the user holds the sides of the phone.  Naturally.  Thus, sometimes the phone drops a few calls, or has trouble with call quality.  Most people would accept the fact as a part of life and move on if they wanted their precious apps badly enough.  Instead this reception problem seems to have everyone up in arms against Steve Jobs, the iPhone, AT&T, etc.  We here at guidePosthost see the iPhone much in the way that they portray the eyePhone on one of the latest Futurama episodes (see Season 6, episode 3) - "Salesperson:  You have no choice of carriers, there is only one plan, the apps are limited, you have terrible reception..."  Fry:  Shut-up and take my money!!"  The iPhone is really cool, and incredibly useful - but just like everything else, it has its ups and downs.  If you want all the positive aspects that come with the phone, you just might have to put up with a little bit of poor reception.  Yes, Jobs might have been told about the reception issues before the release of the phone.  Even so - is a complete recall of the phone really the solution to the reception problem?  Or with a months time, could the geniuses at the Apple come up with, say, a 10 dollar case that covers the phone and reduces conductivity from finger to phone and fixes the issue?  We sure don't know - but its worth a paragraph's rant!
     Well, we hope you've enjoyed this latest update.  We here at guidePosthost will do our best to keep you up to date with the latest information we've got.  Until next time, readers.
