Could be. But before 7 am? Sounds like pent-up demand to me.

I read somewhere that this looks like a new iPhone roll out.
Wait for it. Some wag will be along with that tired old lie about Obama phones.

Well, with an economic system that no longer creates jobs worth having, (i.e.; With health benefits.), it's not surprising at all. Whatever the private sector fails to provide, people will seek elsewhere.

Speaking of iphones. My son text me the other day and said: ''dad, whatever you do, don't let your phone install ios7 update! It's garbage and you'll wish you didn't and you cannot reverse it''.
I took his advise and ignored the update.

Just watching the Daily Show (yeh, I've got a DVR and TW Cable beating my ass up every month)
Freakin' hilarious how he went after those snide punks over at Faux over their coverage re: the ACA.

I still use a Star Trek type flip open phone. I did see a thread over at AK about that subject. I also use XP pro on a desktop for my 'puter. I'm just cheap, I guess.

I have xp on my desktop machine but I put Ubuntu on my laptop. Ubuntu has really improved over the years, I can hardly see bothering with windows as user friendly as Ubuntu has become. It's really pollished now, wifi is great too. This windows 7 lappy will fly since wiping windows 7 and installing Ubuntu 13.04. And when I plugged my iphone into it, it transfered all my pics, video, and music to the pc without hassle or telling me I must have itunes. Windows makes you install itunes, but modern day Ubuntu just works.

I have a few Linux flavors in use here. My laptop / PC music player is running Crunchbang, a pretty minimalist Debian based distro. When playing hi res music flies, I'm utilizing about 25% of the CPU and about 10% of the 2 gigs of ram. It just rocks.
