And based on the outcome of a handful of tests we think we can't do it? How many times do we test say cellphones before they go to market.

PS Blue I see you got a new hairstyle

That depends if you are Nokia or Apple.

I seem to remember seeing Gingrich on t.v. saying that the genius of "Star Wars" is that it was a complete farce, intended to fool the Soviets into believing we already had it, and that it actually worked.

I think, 'round about then, is when Karl Rove must have noticed the Russians weren't the only ones dumb enough to fall for the ruse.....................

See what I'm sayin'?

Does anyone remember DAVID the anti aircraft super gun?? It was all automatic radar (or somesuch) controlled. The day of its field trial it mistook the ventillation fan on a nearby latrine for its target, blew the hell out of the shithouse.

Caesar Augustus. I figured since he's come back from the dead to reign down upon us, I would pay tribute in my avatar.

Rob, but the testers at Apple all held it the same way!!

Blue, we'll rename August after our fearless leader, goodness knows he deserved it even before he was elected. Augustus = August, so Obama - Obam?

Obam. Has that nice 'foriegn' ring to it

The thing I liked best was Jobs' fix: "Well, don't hold it that way." It would have been even better if he had concluded by saying "Du-uh!"

Does not bother me, you could not give me a cell phone.

I find them to be quite handy. Why, I used mine, (And the considerable acceleration capabilities of the Mighty BlueStreak.), to catch up to, and squeal on a hit and run driver last Sunday. Asshole hit a Toyota SUV full of kids, knocking the front bumper loose and popping the headlamp out, then took off. Caught up to him, got his plate number and called it in. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

I see their usefulness and hear the call of the dark side.

Little rudeness machines though, too often. Reach out and touch someone else!

Bluetooth devices, though, have been a big hit with the phychiatric community. It looks like the patients are talking to someone
