UPDATE: The widgets now reflect the 8:00am launch time on July 11, 2008.

I was looking for a iPhone 3G Countdown Widget, but couldn’t find one that I liked.

Using the widget that JAW Software created last year for the 1st Generation iPhone, I’ve updated it for the iPhone 3G launch on July 11, 2008 at 8:00am.

I’d love to throw you guys on my contact list, so I/we have a broad user-base to test out all the tasty new applications from the App Store. If you’re interested, just drop me a email.

I hope you guys are as excited about July 11th as I am.

When I first heard that Bank of America had proposed that Congress supply $739 billion to bail out the banking industry, I was indignant.

The banks had created the mess — why shouldn’t they fix it? Why would megabanks like Citibank and Merrill Lynch need corporate welfare? After all, if I run up my credit card bill, the government’s not about to bail me out.

I’m guessing that many of you reacted the same way. But after my initial ire, I started thinking about what a bailout would cost taxpayers — and whether it would be worthwhile.
