—Oh, that’s clever, Posterous. You know what else is sorta like being in high school? Catty, passive-aggressive bullshit like your lame “switch” campaign. How about focusing on making an awesome product that people want to use instead of trying to market yourselves as something other than a derivative also-ran. Here’s a free tip: comments ain’t gonna do it.

Better wallpaper

Did you upgrade to iOS 4 today, ooh and aah at the new wallpaper feature and then decide it was actually pretty annoying?

A while ago, I made a wallpaper for the iOS 4 betas since I was decidedly unimpressed with the ones that shipped by default.

Same black background, same Fireball gray, now just bigger and high resier. Save big_fanboy.jpg to wherever it is your iPhone looks for photos or you can just tap that link directly on your phone and tap-hold the image to save. Enjoy.

Oooooh! Marco made one that’s all textury. Gosh, that looks swell.

Urbanape made some nice ones as well.
