Apple iPhone 3G S: No Serious Overhaul Here

Mr. Bubbley,

Your comments betray an ignorance of Apple - the biggest influence in the smartphone category. A "slide-out qwerty keyboard". Are you nuts. That's exactly the kind of thing the iPhone was created to eliminate. Multitasking is part of the phone already. I listen to songs while I surf the internet. I believe the new phone has greater ability to multitask - but don't know for sure. The 3MP camera which now has autofocus is an excellent advance. Do you really need 8 MP in your cell phone? I don't think so. Do you expect your cell phone to have Bose speakers?

Incremental advances of the sort Apple announced are very powerful. Along with the incremental advance of a $99 price for the current 3G phone the industry is incrementally being left in the dust.

At least they will have a QWERTY keyboard to type up resumes for their next job.

Charles Norton: Investing in Vice Stocks

Sin Stocks - "we’re a ‘sin-stock’ fund,” he says. “All we’re trying to do is capitalize on attractive businesses that have demand characteristics not predicated on overall economic health.” Investing in only four sectors – alcoholic beverages, gaming, tobacco and aerospace/defense"

Can someone tell me why aerospace/defense would be lumped with personal vices? Aerospace defense would be a "virtue" stock in my book, not a sin stock. This post and the idea it puts forth is an indication of how we have regressed as a society and how political correctness invades almost every area of existence. Ayn Rand was right.
