As the Worm Turns

iDarth Jobs is making noise about the latest incarnation of the iPhone. The news media loves it. Several of my friends have bought these units. Sorry, no desire to own this over-rated, over priced, no battery life, handheld "computer" slash portable music player that has mediocre cell phone capabilities. Just google iPhone battery replacement. But, it's not my job to spend other folks money so have at it. My old beat up Razr still needs a battery and I refuse to give AT&T (it's rumored Satan owns stock in them) 120-150 dollars for a replacement phone that is an exact duplicate of the one now in use! Can we say robbery? Their upgrade policy applies here and has been available for several months. Tired of buying all new chargers, car adapters, etc. Anyway, that iDarth sure can raise a ruckus. Downright flamboyant.

Who owns stock in Apple? I know that Bill Gates has $150 million worth of non-voting stock that he graciously invested back in 1998 when they almost went under. Look at how iDarth appreciates that sorely needed investment. He runs commercials on TV that are nothing but lies. Let's see...Windows is on 90% of computers around the world and Apple is on 3%. What does that make iDarth? A wimpy dumbass liar whose marketing strategy sucks. But go ahead and buy stuff from this jerk. Again, it's your money.

Yes, those commercials irritate me. Right along with that damn drum beating rabbit and that goofy lizard with the Manchester accent. Beach house will never do Eveready or GEICO. Count on it. I do like Flo though. Nice, funny commercials. And Progressive is used on beach house vehicles. America is a great country where we can turn off TV trash and do something else. Nice to have freedom of speech and know we are privileged to have opinions. And Obama wants change? Damn it all, change what? Wonder if he's been secretly going to the mosque and praying about it? Just wondering, that's all. He can...this is America.

EDIT: Mudslingr did some research and the Razrs offered by AT&T are now G3 capable and have media players. They also have a slot for SD cards. So, even though it looks like a duck, etc., it ain't a duck of the same order. More like a duck on steroids. Thanks Mud. Need all the help I can get! So does AT&T.
