@MrVakarian: Exactly. I've already got one of these - except it has a glowing Apple logo on the back - which I like BTW.

@Onizuka-GTO: I don't understand...is a gigawatt more or less than a megajoule? Because it only took 1.21 gigawatts to send a DeLorean @ 88mph into a time warp.

@Michael Scrip: It is too late for RIM to react. They should have seen this coming years ago.

I've said it before...Blackberry, it's OS and it's business model are dead. It had a unique position in the market at one time, but all that changed and it stood and watched as others passed it by.

So in other words, if you are donating to the WWF, you are wasting your money as they spend it on frivolous superficial projects like this?

It's good to see Andy Griffith and Salvage 1 are finally getting a real shot at space.

@Almightywhacko: Bingo. If I could promote your comment higher, I would.

Slow news day? I mean...seriously?

This giant statue of Jesus (locally called "Big Butter Jesus" or "Touchdown Jesus") made of foam and fiberglass in Ohio was struck by lightning and burst into flame earlier this year. This new one in Poland is a MUCH larger lightning rod.

@Matthew Kidd: Is that book learning there? Or experience? LOL.

@Matthew Kidd: Boy - you kids have a hard time thinking outside the box. You think doing this wouldn't be possible or practical? Sorry. Wrong.

@Google: Privacy is Job 1: Well, if I were the PR flunky that was running that show, I would have handed out WP7's to everyone in the audience so they could snap, tweet, and post away on their favorite social apps - all tagged (of course) with "sent from Windows Phone 7" to help promote the whole point of the event!

Ironic that 99.9% of the crowd DID NOT have a WP7 phone.
