Remember that $1,000 iPhone App "I Am Rich?" The app showed a
glowing red jewel, and ... well, that's about it. The point was

have that same kind of fun, and you'll also be able to get a
recession-friendly discount as well.

- Did Steve Ballmer Just Cut The Legs Off Windows Mobile 6.5?
Speaking yesterday, Steve Ballmer revealed that Microsoft will
release Windows Mobile 7 in the year 2010. With Windows Mobile
6.5 devices not hitting the market until the end of 2009, why
would anyone bother upgrading to WinMo 6.5, when WinMo 7 is right
around the corner?

driving the machinery of Brand X or Company Y; sleepless nights
reimagining business processes, building customer portals,
renegotiating a key vendor contract, all for company, livelihood,
or a write-up in HR's internal newsletter.
