Jon Stewart’s “Appholes”: AT&T Manages to Ruin the iPhone

I know that this is not really related to the normal health technology topics I write about.  However, as an early iPhone user who was forced to switch to AT&T, this segment by Jon Stewart is dead on (and hilarious).  He aptly points out that Steve Jobs shouldn’t be kicking down doors to retrieve a missing iPhone prototype or writing a manifesto about why he believes Adobe Flash is inferior (though he raises some valid points).  Rather, Steve Jobs should be blasting AT&T for driving people up a wall with a crappy network that drops calls like its 1995!  AT&T’s network is a nightmare and completely unacceptable compared to other carriers.  I guess it says a lot about how much we love the iPhone to put up with this nonsense and disruption to conducting business.

Granted, this is old news to iPhone users, but very funny segment.  Fast foward to 1m:12seconds

Announcing the New “Center for Hearing and Communication” Website

Center for Hearing and Communication

We are pleased to announce the launch of the newly re-designed “Center for Hearing and Communication” Website.  DLC Solutions partnered with the Center for Hearing and Communication (formerly known as The League for the Hard of Hearing) to produce the new Website, which reflects CHC’s new organizational brand and provides a wealth of information and resources for people affected by hearing loss.

Working closely with CHC, our team provided a complete end-to-end production solution that included: strategic planning, graphic design, information architecture, Flash development, software engineering, and technical project management services.  The site was developed using the industry-leading (and our favorite) content management system, Drupal.  By using Drupal, CHC is able to manage all aspects of the site through a Web browser, reduced development costs, streamline internal content publication, and set the stage for the ongoing expansion of the site into peer-to-peer networking and social media.

We are so pleased to be able to partner with CHC on this re-design initiative and hope that the effort will help to connect people affected by hearing loss with experts, peers, and the appropriate support services.
