Looks like the United States Constitution has prevailed and the decision to give suspected terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab the rights that native born American citizens have i.e. the right to remain silent, which Abdulmutallab took advantage of after his failed attemt to blow up a flight to Detroit, but prior to that information was gathered by interrogators. Today we have found out there was an even bigger victory for the little piece of paper that governs man, and women. Mid January the FBI flew to Nigeria to meet with Abdulmutallab’s family to help with the investigation and it helped. The family came back to the states and convinced their son to cooperate with the government and…..IT WORKED!!! see what happens when you don’t torture.

Thanks to a “small chip” RIM aks Blackberry is able to make just one model of the Blackberry Bold 8700 for all carriers, thanks BGR…..upside for RIM; keeps costs down i.e. lower costs for signing two years of your life away. Downsid; development may delay the phone coming to the public. Coo with me FYI the 9700 is $129.99 for a 2yr contract with T-mobile. Retail price is $449.99

Thanks to all who have sent texts to give those in need aide (est are $25 million dollars and climbing still) and now we can also thank the entertainment industry for lending their voice to the; “Hope for Haiti” album which is set at Number 1 on the billboard 200 charts with 170,000 albums sold!!!! lets keep up the good work.
There does need to be more emphasis put on the government of Haiti (And those who help build/destroy it) which has been sent billions of dollars over the years and because of corruption and sheer greed have negleted the people in which they were sworn to help and have not. This tragedy has shined a big light on the country so hopefully something can be done.

The iPad in all its glory or falicies depending on what side of the fence you are on.
Pros: 10hr battery life, textbook app, simplicity, wifi, seamless access to iTunes, razer thin and light, iPhone-esk, price ($499 and up)
Cons: no love for big red, don’t even try to replace the battery, unlocked sorta, no flash support, no HDMI, no camera. Oh if you want to connect your camer to the iPad there’s an adapter for that ($$$)

3G coverage through the T-mobile network is not the greatest as of yet.
