    Since I’m on my iPhone and can not copy/paste the text of the link you failed anchor, I can’t comment on the problem. And while I could easily type the URL in myself, I felt the need to comment on the irony of you ripping on a site for usability flaws when you yourself failed to link properly (a usability basic). Not being too harsh, but it was a little funny to me.

    Sold Out, what I failed to mention is that I don’t wish to give any link rank to a site that I see a huge flaw in. It’s a bit spammy. I try not to give that stuff away for free. Sorry for not explaining that any clearer.

    And sorry your POS phone can’t provide simple OS functions like copy and paste.

    I see a lot of things wrong with it. However, the music has to be the worst part of the user experience.

    The iPhone was free. I would never have paid for it. Anyway, since typing on this thing isn’t the mastubatory event Jobs would have you believe, I didn’t mention that I wasn’t going to hit that link because it contained the words “tech” and “crunch”.

    Will, you won! Here’s your prize: !!!

    You can put this prize on your blog, website, or social network profile. Just don’t give it away. That’s illegal.

    Sold Out: Oh, then that’s not bad. I wouldn’t mind a free iPhone. I wouldn’t pay for an AT&T plan, but still.

    And yes, ripping off the name of another site like that is really lame. Ripping off a site that sucks loads, doubly so.

    Thanks Christian! I am still having flashbacks of the MySpace…

    Ouch! I was looking all over the site to see what was wrong, then, on a whim, turned my speakers on… then off again very quickly. The fact that it is (or at least looks like) a splog as well is even worse!

    Wow… that music is really touching… I’m about to cry.

    PS: You could use the rel=”nofollow” attribute on the link if you don’t want to give it credit. That is, if you don’t have a thing against the “nofollow” technique…
