wow jason, you are absolutely right! thanks, it will be changed presently.
Alright the title of this article is misleading. I had no idea what you meant. The guitar is NOT inside the iPhone 4. The title should either read “Guitar Oscillations Filmed From Inside on iPhone 4″ or better yet “Guitar Oscillations Filmed From Inside with/by an iPhone 4.”
