In our June 24th review of the iPhone 4 we noted a few extremely minor technical issues with the handset. Like, for instance, the fact that we couldn't actually complete a call.

As it turns out, many other people have been experiencing loss of signal or dropped calls when they hold the phone in a particular way. (We couldn't connect to AT&T's notoriously awful service no matter how we positioned the unit in our hand, but we assume we were just holding it wrong.) After weeks of silence and denial about the issue, Apple will be holding a press conference today to address the problem.

What we don't expect them to address, however, is an even more insidious design element which our eagle-eyed team of tech experts has recently uncovered. Deep within the circuits of that beefy A4 processor, generous 512MB of eDRAM, and incomparably-responsive touchscreen lies a to-date unreported feature which threatens to completely brick your phone:

If you're an fan of Apple's iPhone, today is the day you've been waiting for since... well, last year when the iPhone 3GS came out. But the iPhone 4 marks some significant differences from the (now outmoded, and basically obsolete) 3GS and previous models.

Fortunately, we here at The Little Details have gotten our hands on the latest wonder from Cupertino and done an exhaustive breakdown of this (and trust us when we say we've given our word choice here painstakingly careful thought) life-transforming miracle of technology.

Full review -- with photos AND UNBOXING! -- after the cut.

Today marks the release of the re-imagined A-Team, which stars Liam Neeson and a bunch of guys you've never heard of.

(Sorry Bradley Cooper, but if I say that one dude from The Hangover is in it, everyone will go "They got Zach Galifinakis to play Murdock??" Which would have been BRILLIANT.)

Hollywood has done a stellar job of repackaging 80s tv into big blockbuster actions films: The Dukes of Hazzard, Transformers, The A-Team... even Thundercats is in the works for a feature.

So I've taken it upon myself to punch up one series that's been woefully overlooked: The Greatest American Hero.

In my role as Big Time Hollywood Screenwriter, I've also taken it upon myself to swear a lot. Like, really a lot. Because that's what Big Time Hollywood Screenwriters do, people! Drop f-bombs! So if you don't like f-bombs, this may not be the entry for you.
