Now that’s how to make a buck

I was feasting over some good ol’ turkey and dressing this past weekend with my brother-in-law. We were discussing the usual pre-Christmas stuff, mainly new gaming systems coming out this Christmas – Nintendo’s Wii was on the way, XBox 360 already had a year’s head start, and then we came to the giant, Sony Playstation. I had…

iPhone?

Just when I almost bought a new cell phone . . . I’ve been listening to a few podcasts today and it seems that Apple has (and this is just rumor at this point) put in a huge order for phones to a manufacturer in Asia. Now, Apple is usually late to the party for…
