The Good News About Mel Gibson
FOR Fourth of July weekend fireworks, even Macy’s couldn’t top the spittle-spangled eruptions of Mel Gibson. The clandestine recordings of his serial audio assaults on his gal pal were instant Web and cable-TV sensations — at once a worthy rival to Hollywood’s official holiday releases and a compelling sequel to his fabled anti- Semitic rant of 2006.

Apple Knew of iPhone Issue
Engineers Aware of Antenna Risks Before Release, but CEO Jobs Liked Design.

Chuck Schumer, raising the bar. Nevermind that $42,000,000,000 trade deficit thing.
iPhone 4′s reception woes, wherein bridging the area where the metal bands meet (affectionately dubbed “the spot”) results in a dramatic loss in signal strength, have been widely covered in the media over the past few weeks. Apple acknowledged the concerns publicly with a letter to customers where they concluded that the issue was not with the phone, but rather that they were being too generous in the way the software communicated signal quality as bars. After an update to iOS, the bars are in fact different but the problems persist. Most recently, Consumer Reports stated it was unable to recommend iPhone 4 because of the significant design flaw, despite listing it as the highest rated overall smartphone they’ve tested to date. The latest wrinkle in the story has been an open letter to Steve Jobs from Chuck Schumer, yes — United States Senator from New York Chuck Schumer, in which he questions the adequacy and transparency of Apple’s response to customer concerns. Apple will be holding a press conference at 10AM tomorrow in San Francisco to address the matter.

His world was no place for us.

Danzig is Not Amused
During his interview with Glenn Danzig for our current cover story, Brother Bennett had the delightful experience of breaking the news to Glenn that the fellas over at Igloo Tornado made a comic of him and Henry Rollins as … roomies with special affection for each other. (Read the Deciblog interview with artist Tom Neely here.) Needless to say, upon discovering Henry & Glenn Forever, Glenn was less than jazzed. Word got over to Igloo Tornado of Glenn’s reaction and instead of joining the witness protection program, they re-created the scene in a comic strip entitled The Final Blow. (Heh heh.)

6 Boring New England Destinations Made Awesome by H.P. Lovecraft
There’s a long tradition of authors embracing and claiming a piece of the American landscape that their fiction can feed off of and become synonymous with. While Stephen King will forever own Maine, there is one sickly, horrifically-imaginative individual from Providence, Rhode Island, who will remain the King of New England until the stars are right and the Great Old Ones return. This man is H.P. Lovecraft: the man who launched 1,000 horror/sci-fi writers and metal songs.
