So Tom, Is This One Of Those "Right Solutions" You Would Authorize?

Communist China - the authoritarian worker's paradise where everybody has government health care; the nation that is the company store we now owe our national soul to; the proletarian nirvana Thomas Friedman wishes the United States could be just for a day - puts profits before people.

I'm shocked! Shocked! OK, not really.

Hold the iPhone.

iPhone junkie that I am, I will likely hold off on the iPhone 4.0 when it comes out later this month - at least for a while. There are several reasons (I don't use all the goodies on my current 3GS, I don't need another data plan, it isn't a necessary expense right now, yadda, yadda), but the biggest is this: bandwidth. If ATT can't handle it's current traffic, how does it plan to handle video telephone calls?

Proof.

Tuesday Afternoon Distraction.

Cross Herbie Hancock's Rockit video with the 'print' command, and you get this. And a double geek bonus because Legos are involved.

(If you missed the Rockit reference, go here.)

Hattip: Matthew at Billy Ockham.

Ah, You Don't Believe We're On The Eve Of Destruction.

Well, we are. But in this sense its a good thing.

Side note lesson for all you conspiracy theory / Ron Paul types: Barry McGuire recorded this song in 1965, 45 years ago. It turned out it wasn't "eve of destruction" after all. Heck, most of you wouldn't be here if it had. So calm down, take off the tinfoil hats, and embrace the end of the world as we know it. I have, and I feel fine. You will, too.

Hattip: Insty.

Yet another reason to use Macs.

Stalinist commies use Dells. (Watch the video)

The New Kathy Lee Gifford.

Steve Jobs? Say it ain't so. Will all those labor-sensitive Lefties be dumping their iPods, iPhones and iPads, and boycotting Apple? iDon't think so.

Office For iPad?

I have avoided the iPad seduction so far (and oh yes... it is seductive!) by saying it didn't have Office and AutoCAD. Seems I have one less reason to resist.

When I say "no", I mean "not yet".

You Can Trust Your Cars To The Folks Who Sought The Stars.

Team Hopenchange will now use NASA to... fix Toyotas.

NASA was once the gateway to our new frontier, our hope for that most American of urges - to explore strange new worlds and seek out new civilizations; to boldly go where no man had gone before. Instead, NASA will now be used to trash a competitor of government-run GM and Chrysler. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math here.

I mean, what would Kirk Do?

UPDATE: From the Comments, Underground Pewster makes a great point:
"Japanese have a space agency. Why not let them figure it out?"
Well, UP, their space agency is busy with, oh, I don't know... space.

An Obama Voter Has A Technical Problem.

Jennifer in Long Beach shows off the mindset that gave us ObamaCare. Watch it all.
