I have a couple of friends with Blackberries. No one is worried about this any more. There are tons of products to fill in the gap left by the disappearance of Blackberry now.

They sound like a bunch of middle school kids fighting over a basketball. Then, no one gets to play.

Recipe from [censored]

I wanted to make some Blazing Sweet chicken and actually succeeded rather well.  The mix is rather disgusting & I figured Winslow would get it.  I mixed together ketchup, Tabasco, cholohala hot sauce, dab of strawberry jam, little oyster sauce and two packets of Arby's sauce. Yes, it WAS good.  I wasn't even drunk.

I mentioned eating chicken nuggets with chopsticks. She had done this the previous evening. I'm inspired. I'm going to have to try it.

Apple and Intel

Apple and Intel are merging. By Robert X. Cringely

Robert has some good incite in the above article. It would make a pretty good "fuck you" to Microsoft, thus, I'm all for it. IBM doesn't even use IBM chips in their consumer grade computers.
Top Ten Slogans for the new systems.
10 "You do not need Microsoft to get your stuff done. All you really need is caffeine."
09 "All the software and half the crashes of Windows."
08 "You don't want to spend time to learn OS-X? You don't know Windows worth a crap now."
07 "Standardized hardware and software means when it says Mac compatible, it really frigging works!"
06 "Porn works just fine on a Mac."
05 "Chicks dig Macs."
04 "Yes, your I-Pod will work just fine on a Mac."
03 "Macs are not just for goth seventh year communication majors any more."
02 "Macs use the same ones and zeros, just in a different order."
... and the number one Slogan.
01 "Fuck Microsoft!"

Yes, I wrote those.
