The 23rd Psalm.......
GORDON BROWN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WORK.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL FACTORIES.
HE RESTORETH MY FAITH IN THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
HE GUIDETH ME IN THE PATH OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
YEA, THOUGH I WAIT FOR MY DOLE,
I OWN THE BANK THAT REFUSES ME.
BROWN HAS ANNOINTED MY INCOME WITH TAXES,
MY EXPENSES RUNNETH OVER MY INCOME,
SURELY, POVERTY AND HARD LIVING WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF HIS...

Who know what's going on?
Still, he’s cautious about predicting how the tablet market will develop, and what gadget will become the new must-have. “If anybody tells you they know exactly what’s going to happen here, they’re either Apple, or they’re smoking dope,” Mr. Thode, Dell’s vice president in charge of mobile devices, says.

Lyrics.....
I really like Christmas
It’s sentimental I know
But I just really like it
I am hardly religious
I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu
To be honest
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
To the commercialisation of an ancient religion
And the westernisation of a dead Palestinian

Apple, the biggest phone company in the world!
In just 2 and a half years, with only the iPhone, Apple has entered the mobile phone business and become the biggest earner in the world. In the first 6 months of 2009 (slow for Apple as people wait for the new iPhone to be released) Apple earned 2.038 billion dollars moving Nokia into 2nd and RIMM (Blackberry) into 3rd. This is not smartphones, but profit from all phone sales.
Not bad.
