3n+1

Here's a nice one called "3n+1" sequence. Take a random number and do
the following:
- if it is even, divide it by 2
- if it is uneven multiply it by 3 and add 1
Do this repeatedly and you'll always get to "1"

 The funny part is that there is no absolute proof for this rule, but
no-one has disproved it either. So far, each value taken as a start
value will end up being 1 in the end. Of course, the trick here is that
if you multiply an uneven number with 3 it will remain uneven. Add one,
it'll be even. So the final sequence will always be:
40-20-10-5-16-8-4-2-1 ... or does it?

 So, here's a try:
136 -> 68 -> 34 -> 17 -> 52 -> 26 -> 13 -> 40 -> 20 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 ->
8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1

The blackberry storm sucks, it's official!

Read all about it here!

I love the last comment about Apple pundits vs BlackBerry nuts.. hehehehe


Found during my daily blog visit on Daring Fireball

edit: I just noticed that Vodafone Germany has put BB Storm firmware 4.7.0.78 online. Does this solve all the mentioned issues?
Small comment on the versioning.. okay, if you're using version numbers that have 3 subversions in them, you should know something is wrong here! There shouldn't be a need to go that deep. 2 subversions should be sufficient.

edit 2: And Wired also thinks it's official now: The BB Storm sucks.
