Links for Friday June 25^th, 2010

• What's wrong with Flash Cookies?: I didn't even know about Flash cookies until the excellent ClickToFlash made me aware of them. But still, I didn't know all of this. Seems like another excellent reason to abolish Flash.

• Apple Rolls Out Dedicated FaceTime Support and Testing: Pretty neat — what other company would offer this sort of service to help train users of its new device? Apple continues to raise the bar.

• From Five Bars to Four, to Three, to Two, to One: I noticed this problem with my iPhone 4 while at home (which is in a weak coverage area), but I'm not able to replicate in the office (which is apparently a strong coverage area). Incidentally, I did a few voice calls in the office today, and call quality is much improved over the original iPhone.

• Rumor: (Updated) Verizon’s Big Sunday Meeting Means Name Change and No iPhone: It seems like maybe Verizon doesn't want to play ball on Apple's terms, so they're going to gamble and see how well they do without an iPhone in their lineup. Should be Interesting.
