Every time we loose connection at home, that is the exact time when I really need to get a lot of stuff done! Music, email, random web pages, banking information & even work stuff. Got to love the handy World Wide Web! I know that I can't live without the 'net on a regular basis.

Don't read it if you don't have a job, can't afford to feed your family, can't afford services, or god forbids, want to ditch your technology stuff. Go do what you love and the line is thataaway. As for me, I can't live without my BlackBerry and laptops. Umm... this is a tech blog.

Looking on the tech page of CNN at the time I'm posting this there are three different references to the iPhone, including this one. No wonder Apple is selling so many of them, it can't be that hard when the company has half the media talking up the device every chance they get. It may be a great device (and it is,) but SHUT UP about it already. There are a great many other great devices out there, but you never hear about them for all the constant chatter about this one phone. I hope that you and all the other media fanboys out there are satisfied. You've played right into Apple's little game, and done so both willingly and knowingly. You're not a reporter, you're not a journalist. Instead, you're part of a marketing machine. Congratulations. Your lame because you're being part of Apple's advertising machine.
