Kind of what many have said for the last three years.

Good point. We will see if the profit takers arrive today.

I've looked at the Droid X but that sucker's just too big. I like the size of the Incredible, but it feels flimsy and I've heard the battery life on it sucks. So it looks like the Droid 2 for me.

Nosmo, let me know what you think of it.
Agree with the Droid X being way too big. I'm already waiting to use my current upgrade (not waiting for the iPhone). Also agree on the Incredible.

Looking out for the Windows Phone 7 also (due out in Nov?).

Don't miss what I don't have (haven't had a smartphone yet, sure I'd use the heck out of it, not really into paying the extra ($30)/ month when I just pared down my 3 phone family plan down to $70/month. A dollar saved is a dollar earned. Don't want to be relying on GS to top out the 401k at age 64.

Heyas ACL,

All the money guys in my neighborhood are running scared. They usually fall into the party-even-while-Rome-is-burning fraternity jock stereotype, but they've gotten all sullen and morose lately like they just got word their Rich Old Uncle Bill died, but left all his money to the cat.

DYODD... but cash is king.

Are these the same money guys with the MILF wives that you owe us pictures of? You thought we had forgotten.

Double post... must fill space...

how about this;
American Airlines is in advanced talks to bring alliance partners British Airways Plc and Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA into one “premier” terminal at New York’s Kennedy airport to bolster overseas flights.

“It will require expansion and will be significant in terms of investment,” Art Torno, vice president overseeing American’s New York operations, said in an interview. “When we finish that terminal, it will be a watermark for everyone to shoot for.”

Putting the Oneworld alliance members under one roof would help AMR Corp.’s American counter Delta Air Lines Inc., which unveiled plans yesterday for a $1.2 billion renovation at John F. Kennedy International Airport. American and Delta are vying for passengers in New York, the biggest U.S. aviation market.

The cost and scope of the possible changes at American’s Terminal 8 are still under discussion with British Airways, Spain’s Iberia and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees JFK, Torno said yesterday.

Engine problem forces Delta jet back to LA airport
(AP) – 11 hours ago

LOS ANGELES — A Delta Airlines spokesman says a Detroit-bound jetliner was forced to return to Los Angeles International Airport after experiencing problems with an engine.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the pilot reported that a bird may have been sucked into an engine of the Boeing 757 just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

However, Delta spokesman Kent Landers says a maintenance crew inspected the engine after the plane safely landed and found no indication of a bird strike. He says the crew will further evaluate to determine the cause of the engine problem.

The 179 passengers and nine crew members on the flight were placed on another aircraft that departed at 5 p.m.

Johnny Cueto should have his man card pulled for kicking like a little girl while he was pinned against the netting. Maybe he can wear a pretty pink skirt next time he pitches.
Yea I did Jonhso... it made me sick! My 4 year old said "daddy, why are those baseball players fighting"? Send the whole lot to Parris Island for six weeks. Should be nice there this time of year.
