If you haven’t added this to your iPhone/iTouch by now, you’re a chump, a real chump. Don’t be a chump, and get this will ya’. Quit readin’ this shit and get crackin’ already, willya’? Genius doesn’t cut the mustard, see, and Appsaurus does, simple as that. Now don’t say I didn’t warn ya’ …

Oh,here’s a link to the Wired story

什么，我担心？ What, Me Worry?

Kai-Fu Lee, until recently, a formal Google executive, before that, a former Microsoft executive and before that, a former Apple employee during the company’s “lost years”, heading up the R&D dividion that was responsible for The Newton and Plain Talk and several disastrous versions of Quick Time, is now trying to make a name for himself by claiming knowledge of the upcoming Apple tablet. What the fuck does he have to gain by being such a blabbermouth except to attract attention to himself? He’ll never get another easy executive job because he’ll be known as the guy who couldn’t keep his trap shut. Also, how the hell did he get such privileged information about Apple’s upcoming thing of beauty? He worked at China Google for four years and now heads up some start up VC firm. Hel-loooooooooooooo? Wake up, people !!! The whole circle jerk is developing a furious throbbing callous now, they want to believe, they’ll print anything dressed up as credible. Shit, I’ve seen the motherfucker, held it in my hands, played with it, took pictures of it, wept hot tears when it was taken from me. I know what I’m talking about. Christmas morning, I’m about to take pictures of a charming snowman in front of somebody’s house

can you hear us now muthafucka'?

when I’m jumped by four Verizon heavies, who confiscate my camera, find the card that has the photos of the tablet, and proceed to crush my poor Olympus to bits of metal, plastic and silicon. God, my arms are still sore from nearly having both ripped from their sockets. What’s happened to this guy? He should be under a road some where in Tibet by now, you think?

Here, here and here and dozens more are rewriting what this East-Asian Alfred E Neuman pudpuller posted on his crappy micro-blog which no one payed any attention until he got himself a great press agent, Slap-Yi La-Zar. Well, at least it is building interest in the iSlate, which should sell like hot chocolate after choir practise on a freezing Christmas morn.  Anyway, don’t believe everything you hear on the blogosphere. Caveat Emptor or as they say on Canal Street in my old stomping grounds of Manhattan, 你得到什么支付，笨蛋！

UPDATE: Thanks for keeping me out of the loop, Dear Leader. I have lost face.

killed by AT&T Wireless - ironic, isn't it? You still can't get any service even now!

Here. Great. That’s just great. You know what worked after Hurricane Ike did a Katrina on Galveston and Houston? Not the electricty, not the wireless phones, it was the landlines – that’s because most phonelines are underground now. And they work, fer crissakes! And now Randy and his Dog Pound are hounding the FCC to state a deadline to end landlines. Know why? Money! They can fire a ton of employees no longer needed to maintain landline technology, sell off the copper wires, concentrate on other uses for fiber optics and improve the old bottom line by billions for a couple of years. Until the wireless technology matches or exceeds the service of the landlines, don’t cancel the damn service.

we've been screwed by AT&T so many times, it saves time to do this always

All them years spent at DeVry down the drain, I'm tellin' ya' man!

It’s bad enough Bezos and Jobs wants to kill the paper industry; that’s pretty damn inevitable and we may save a few forests. But to kill off an already working and capable infrastructure because you wanna’ make an extra billion or two and screw your customers and employees even more – you’d think it was 1999 all over again.

Yep, it’s like we’ve heard this song before

how soon we forget, eh?

I stopped subscribing, so I’ll have to take their word for it. Apparently, most of scrapping occurs when the columnist takes a swipe at Apple or Linux and fanbois come to the flamefest, driving all the oxygen out of the conversation. What a surprise.

Walter decided to pick on a small, defenseless netbook webbook to ring out 2009. Can’t say that I’ve heard that term before.  But this little fella is from a company called Littl. I’ve scoured the site, and I’m not sure who the market for this is.  Net newbies? Grandma?  It doesn’t run Windows, (OK, a plus) and leans heavily on the cloud-computing concept.  There’s no task bar, dock, folders, icons for files and programs, none of that.  You can flip it over and use it in “easel-mode.”  It’s got a remote, too. The company also mentions that “finally we removed the stuff that breaks.”  So no frantic trips to Best Buy’s Geek Squad- thought I think they might puzzle on this one.

If you’re a Star Trek fan, you’ll recognize these as the classic Trek uniforms. These are for scuba diving.  These come from the official Gene Roddenberry site, too.  (ST’s creator.)  But stay away from the red design- otherwise it’s going to be Jaws-city for you.

Don’t know too much about John Mayer, except he has dated famous women.  A lot of them.  And he did a smokin’ cover of “Route 66” on the Cars soundtrack.  John has a proposal for his, um, peeps.  Give up the grid for one week.

“That’s where the one week digital cleanse comes in. I’ll be defragmenting my mental and psychological hard drive during the first seven days of the new year, and I invite you all to participate. This can be done, people. Do it with me. When we pop back up on the grid on January 8, let’s trade stories on what it felt like, how hard it was, and maybe how hard it actually wasn’t”

I’ll get right on that.

Google Fanboy alert: the new Gmail T.  Can we get some color options, and maybe 3XL?  (These shirts run small; I am not the size of a Volvo.)  I highly recommend this shirt- softest shirt ever created on the planet. 

British acting legend Patrick Stewart, best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise, has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth.  The 69 year-old thespian has enjoyed a half-century career in TV, movies, and theatre.
