What’s yours?
The sad thing? The video might be a parody of iOS4 on the iPhone 3G, but it’s definitely the truth on my end as well. Still tethered to an iPhone 3G at the moment, utilizing basic services such Maps requires a good minute of finger tapping and waiting for the OS to decide if it wants to launch the app or not.
Video creator adamburtle lamented on the same thing. He writes, “… it’s not because my needs have grown. It’s not because I’ve installed a bunch of laggy software. It’s because Apple’s firmware has become bloated, with respect to the processing power of the 3G iPhone.”
Adam, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

To conserve bandwidth and time, if a file in a user’s Dropbox folder is changed, Dropbox only uploads the pieces of the file that are changed when syncing.
We’ve received several reports of an occasional issue occurring with VS 2010 when developers try and do “Cut” or “Copy” text operations of text. In some cases VS incorrectly calculates that not enough memory is available (even though there is memory available) and displays the following error message: “Insufficient available memory to meet the expected demands of an operation at this time, possibly due to virtual address space fragmentation. Please try again later.” There is now a public patch available for this issue which you can download and apply here if you are running into it. More details on the issue can be found on the Visual Studio team blog here. Hope this helps, Scott
