According to Apple, the iPhone 3G will be (and all iPhone's have been, as far as we know) GSM-only devices. That is to say, the iPhone and it's predecessors have only been capable of working on GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile. Unfortunately, that means that it can't work on CDMA networks like MiPhone in Jamaica -- or at least that's what we thought. Apple seems to disagree, as they have n

 This is why I rant about how unjust globalization truly is. Not only does the incredibly low labor cost - much of which is due to a lack of oversight in factories - mean that not only do jobs go overseas, the people who get the jobs aren't even paid fair wages. So people who say we are "spreading the wealth" globally are either foolish or lying because they work for a corporation making $$$ off of the arrangement.The Ching Luh Nike plant has 21,000 employees, and they were "treated" to a $6 a month raise after a two-day strike. Inflation in Vietnam was 19% over the last year, and the $6 a month raise is a 10% increase - but they also get free lunch! Whoopee!Do the math; their original salaries were $59 a month. Anyone wonder why American manufacturing has moved o

weird factsTAMPA, Fla. -- A legal dispute over the theft of virtual sex toys has resulted in a real-life slap on the wrist. A federal judge accepted the settlement Thursday of a lawsuit filed last year against a Texas man accused of stealing sex toys developed for the online world, "Second Life."According to the settlement, Robert Leatherwood agreed not to copy, display or distribute any items sold by Eros LLC, a Tampa Bay-area company that creates virtual sex scripts in the "Second Life" universe. Leatherwood must also disclose the e-mail addresses of anyone he knows had access to his "Second Life" persona, known as "Volkov Catteneo."The settlement does not involve money or any admission of wrongdoing, court documents show. It effectively ends the suit filed last year by Eros' owner, Kevi

Since last summer fans and pundits alike have been debating who will prevail in a 100-meter show down between reigning 100 and 200-meter world champion Tyson Gay of the U.S. and current world record holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica.What’s fueling the debate is that Gay beat Powell head-to-head in the 100-meter finals at the 2007 world championships last summer in Osaka. It was clear to most fans that Powell tensed up and panicked in the final 40 meters, finishing third behind Tyson Gay and Derrick Adtkins of the Bahamas.Despite blazing times, Powell has struggled at major competitions, missing a medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The 2007 world championship race again called into question his ability to win the big races. Then one month later, Asafa went to Rieto, Italty in a meet that di

Out of the islands we now call Indonesia, at some unknown period in the remote past, the Polynesian peoples came to the mid-Pacific. Indefatigable voyagers and explorers, they penetrated the far reaches of the greatest of oceans but do not appear to have found New Zealand until the tenth century of the Christian era. The Polynesians who settled New Zealand, and are known today as the Maori, have a well-established tradition that the first discovery of their islands was made by the famous Polynesian navigator, Kupe. Although other scouting expeditions followed, it was not until the fourteenth century, only six hundred years ago, that a carefully planned colonizing expedition, the "Fleet" of Maori tradition, set out from central Polynesia for New Zealand. The reason generally given for this

According to a statement issued by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a lawsuit over prayer at Texas public school graduation ceremonies has been settled. The degree to which this settlement will influence other public school districts is uncertain, although it does involve a District Court ruling. In a nutshell, the settlement prevents a Texas school district from implementing a policy whereby students could vote on whether to permit prayer at graduation ceremonies.The settlement, between Americans United and the Round Rock Independent School District, says that the district may not leave the decision of whether to include prayer at graduation ceremonies up to a student vote.According to the Rev.

The TV ad depicts a conference room where actors portraying insurance adjus

Matchday Four's first batch of games failed to provide conclusions in the UEFA Champions League group stage, as both teams that could have advanced with victories only managed ties. Both Chelsea and Real Madrid were in the driver's seat but both played to scoreless ties on the road--Chelsea at Schalke 04 and Real at Olympiakos. Olympiakos' goalkeeper, Antonis Nikopolidis, was apparently the man of the match for the Greek side, according to uefa.com's report of the game. If you watched Euro 2004 at all you'll be well aware of Nikopolidis and his skills. Olympiakos were short several key defenders, but Real still weren't able to put one past Nikopolidis.The most shocking result from today was without a doubt Liverpool's 8-0 drubbing of Besiktas, a team they lost to a fortnight ago. In the other game in that group, FC Porto continued their unbeaten ways, dropping Olympique Marseille. Porto now "control their own destiny" (don't you love that phrase) and only need to win one of the

This is the gossip that is making rounds about Srija, the daughter of Chiranjeevi. Sources have been saying different things about the whereabouts of the couple. It was said couple of days ago that they were in Mysore.Before that TV9 said that they left for Bangkok but when enquired in Airport, the authorities said that none with those names had left for Bangkok in those two days. The other assumption was they left for Shirdi. The fresh talk that is making rounds is that they are now residing in Mumbai at Hiranandani area of Povai in Mumbai. Talk says that one of the friends of Sirish Bharadwaj kept them there.The news is not confirmed. It is still a doubt whether it is to be considered serious or should be considered as something that's among other assumptions. There is no comment from the side of Srija after Chiranjeevi's response.

It is common knowledge that a lawsuit settlement can absorb considerable amounts of time and financial resources, that is why some financers buy a part of the plaintiff's anticipated settlement to keep them from going bankrupt. If the person who has placed the lawsuit is victorious and the judge awards a settlement to be paid to the plaintiff, then a second set of problems arise.These problems are usually overlooked by the person receiving the monetary instrument due to the fact that the lawsuit has settled and everything is assumed to go back to normal, but the truth is that now the plaintiff has to deal with a structured settlement until the amount owed is paid in full.The problem about structured settlements is that the person will not receive all the full value of the instrument as a lump sum, in other words if the plaintiff needs to pay medical bills due to accidents in the workplace, which are the most popular reason people file lawsuits against companies, the patient who was ju

I think.Everything's moved in and set up. At least, my side is. Miki's side will get done this morning. I'm really hoping she'll be okay with my things the way they are so I don't have to move anything. I like how my stuff is set up. It's not as neat and pretty as some might like, but it's efficient. Plus, I have a chinchilla in my closet. How can it get any better?Today I will finish up the final touches on the apartment. I have to finish cleaning out the oven (oh, how I look forward to that) and picking up the cable equipment. That'll get dropped off later. Later, I'll be heading down to Dr. Hardrict's for an appointment. I've been looking forward to it. I do enjoy visiting with him. I'm not really looking forward to retelling this whole Miki-mess story to him, but I'll survive I suppose. Gotta keep the doc updated.Tomorrow will be my very last 6 AM shift at work. YAY!

It’s been almost a month since my last post. In that time I’ve: started a new job, got a new house, and moved in…mostly. I’m still unpacking what seems to be hundreds of boxes with no end in sight. The good news is that my kitchen is almost completely unpacked and ready to go. Things are finally settling down and I can get back into making my regularly scheduled meals. I’m officially tired of eating take-out, going out to eat, and not eating the food I cook. I know, it’s a sad day when eating out doesn’t make me happy, but I really crave some good food cooked at home. While I have appreciated getting back in touch with east coast food, home cooking is what I’m craving. With that, I’ll leave you with a teaser shot. I made this dish for a good friend of mine for his birthday. I didn’t have all the tools I wished I had or all of the ingredients I was looking for, but this dish still managed to put a big smile on his face.

With the draft just days away, many teams are doing the usual job of throwing up smokescreens as to what they are going to do when the time comes that they are on the board for that all important first pick. A few things are certain, but many more are not. One thing that seems to be in place is that the Oakland Raiders are going to use that first pick, and not make a deal to move down and acquire more picks. The Raiders are in desperate need of a high impact player on offense, and most draft boards have them taking LSU QB JaMarcus Russell with the top pick. After that things become very hazy. The Detroit Lions, a team that could use just about everything, are taking calls right and left for teams with offers for them move up in that spot and for the Lions to get picks and at the same time move down. If the Lions do stay at number two, and I don’t think they will based on their huge amount of needs, the player it looks like they would take is DE Gaines Adams from Clemson. While Ad
