Question for Apple

This week Apple will have its quarterly phone call with stock analysts. People usually waste their time asking questions that the executives can't or won't answer, or have carefully crafted responses (sometimes full of info, usually not).

Here's the question someone should ask:

Analyst: As I'm sure you've heard, Microsoft just announced that in Windows 7.1 all applications, no matter how big or small, will need to be approved by Microsoft itself. Are you considering something similar for for the Mac OS X operating system?

Apple, of course, will reply saying that they hadn't heard that and that they would be surprised if it were true.

THen, you've set them up for the perfect reply: OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T ANNOUNE THAT What dumb-fuck company would do that to its users? How in this day and age can YOU get away with that on the iPhone without getting your ass handed to yourself in a DoJ anti-trust lawsuit? Un-censor the app-store!!!

Oh well, I can dream.

Dear lazyweb: movie reference

There's a movie where a student is very nervous about a big exam. I think she has a bad dream about it too.

The last scene the professor hands out blue books and tells the students the exam has one question. He flips over the chalkboard and you see he has written, "Complete this sentence: The essence of business writing is..."

She writes "Brevity" in the blue book and turns it in.

Over the closing credits you see the professor grading papers, and he marks hers with an A+

What movies is this?

How 'bout us Democrats?

Hey fellow Democrats!

Are you a progressive that is pissed off at the Democrats? These jokes will give you a chuckle.

Are you a mainstream Dem that loves what's going on? Try these jokes on for size.

Are you a conservative Dem? Linky linky for you.

Personally I'm pissed off and borderline depressed.
