			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amid other announcements at Apple&#8217;s &#8220;Lets Rock&#8221; event, they announced that the iPhone 2.1 firmware will be released this Friday as a free update. The much anticipated version upgrade will address many of the issues that have been plaguing iPhone users, including:</p>
<p>- Significantly better battery life<br />
- Fewer call drops<br />
- Bug fixes<br />
- Faster backups to iTunes<br />
- No App crashes</p>
<p>No mention of background push notifications were made, however, which were originally planned for a September release. Let&#8217;s hope this finally fixes the lag when selecting a contact after composing an SMS message&#8230;it could happen!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning i got an email from O2 stating that i could now pre-order a new 3G iPhone for delivery on it&#8217;s 11th of July release date. Now i&#8217;ve been waiting for this for quite a while as some of you may know from my previous attempts at iPhone ownership, this is my hope that V2 will be an improvement on V1. Anyway, after half an hour of attempting to pre-order one i gave up and started work.</p>
<p>A few hours later i check <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=512055&amp;page=1">various</a> <a href="http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17894359">forums</a> and it turn&#8217;s out hardly anybody has had any luck ordering one, mainly a few people that got in around 8am seem to have had their orders accepted, but nobody else seems to have had much luck due to huge periods of O2&#8242;s servers being down. They&#8217;re now reporting to be out of stock of all 8GB and 16GB 3G iPhone&#8217;s and &#8220;to check back on the 10th of July&#8221;. According to several different sites, nobody has been able to <strong>upgrage</strong> their V1 iPhone using the O2 code&#8217;s and website.</p>
<p>So, well done again O2 for making an absolute balls up of what should surely be a fairly straight forward task&#8230;it&#8217;s really not inspiring me to sign up for an 18 month contract with you. Never mind though, from the looks of it i won&#8217;t be able to get an iPhone (or contract) unless i try my luck in the shops on Friday morning and i&#8217;m not sure i&#8217;ll bother, as the most disappointing thing is the knowledge that after all the man hours put in to dedicating myself to getting a 3G iPhone &#8211; i&#8217;ll be bored of it after 8 days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you seen the advert on TV explaining how many units of alcohol are in drinks? This advert is produced by the Department of Health to try and target middle aged binge drinkers. I think this is about time, being of the younger generations I think its about time we stopped getting blamed for this counties excess drinking habits. Ok so we may go out on a Saturday and get a little drunk but how many young people do you know go home and have a drink (even if their on their own) every night?</p>
<p>Just for your curiosity I did a little research to explain more about the units system.</p>
<p>To calculate units &#8211; multiply volume of drink in ml % of alcohol content then divide the answer by 1000, e.g. 750 ml x 12 = 9000/1000 = 9 units.</p>
<p>It is recommended that women consume no more than 2/3 units per day and men 3/4 units per day (this is with two days off a week). This is the equivalent to a pint of beer for men and a standard glass of wine of women, however if the drinks are stronger this can be reduced to half a pint or a small glass. This means that the anyone having a couple of glasses of wine a night means they are risking their health. However there is some good news as a small amount of alcohol after the age of 50 can help prevent some heart disease!</p>
<ul>
<li>1 pint = 568 ml</li>
<li>1 small wine glass = 125 ml</li>
<li>1 standard wine glass = 175 ml</li>
<li>1 large wine glass = 250 ml</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Average pint of beer = 2.3 units</li>
<li>Average pint of cider = 2.8 units</li>
<li>Average small glass of wine = 1.5 units</li>
<li>Single shot of spirits = 1 unit</li>
<li>Average alcopop = 1.4 units</li>
</ul>
<p>I tried to find out the legal limit for drinking and driving in units but being the government they can’t make anything easy so it’s only available in mg/ml (alcohol/blood). The technical legal limit is 80mg/100ml but as there is no way for the average person to measure this it is easier not to drink if you’re driving.</p>

The theme is fully CSS and XHTML compliant and is based on the hugely popular GlossyBlue theme, i have re-tweaked each icon and every colour scheme to bring new life to the theme whilst making little performance enhancements on the way such as smaller image and template file sizes.</p>
<blockquote><p>This theme is freaking awesome. It&#8217;s people like this that really make the world worth living in. Truly incredibly, this guy needs to win the lottery for the pure amount of pleasure he is giving others</p>
