I have been a big iPhone lover in the past; but I’m unexcited about the iPhone 3G S and I refuse to incarcerate myself in anticipation, longing and waiting for iPhone wish fulfillment ever again. The White Apple of Death still leaves a hauntingly bitter taste in my mouth a year later.
The USA is losing its immigrant mind! The landed have traditionally helped build America into what it is today: A great mosaic of thoughts, colors and dreams.
