I recently left Verizon and switched to Virgin Mobile and picked up two LG Optimus V Android phones. They are a GREAT deal. They have a 600mhz processor and have not encountered any issues running and apps.

I'm now paying $50/month for my girlfriend and myself to have two droid phones with 300 minutes, "unlimited" data and text messages where as I was previously paying $50/month for 1 phone on Verizon with 400 minutes, unlimited text messages and no data. (That was after a 25% corporate discount!) On top of that she was paying $100 a month with T-Mobile for unlimited everything. I'm saving over $100 (between us two) and getting more useful features that I use.

If any of you are off contract (another benefit to VM -- they don't have contracts) I would strongly suggest looking at Virgin Mobile and their Android phones, I believe they have two to choose from, one from LG (which I have) and one from Samsung.

The Western Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire coexisted for centuries.

The world moves a lot faster nowadays. It may have been able to handle two mega empires simultaneously solely because of geographical limits. Natural resources were also not nearly as in demand as they are today.

Just my $.02

I recently purchased 4 sets of BuckyBalls when they were recently on woot. I'm pretty pissed that I did now and want to show my support to Zen Magnets and buy a set of theirs. They seem to have much better quality from everything I have read and seen, and can attest to BuckyBalls "flakes" now coming off in my hand after using the magnets for about 2 weeks.

From what I have heard, this company BuckyBalls made about $500,000 in sales from the woot sale (woot actually bought more from BuckyBalls on the day of the sale because demand was so strong), and $250,000 in sales on the day Google changed its logo to honor the Buckyball. Seems they may have grown too big for their britches and feel a sense of entitlement now.

from the checking-out-your-package dept.
A TSA worker in Miami was arrested for aggravated battery after he attacked a co-worker for making fun of the size of his genitals. Rolando Negrin walked through one of the new body scanners during a recent training session and a supervisor started making fun of his manhood. From the article: "According to the police report, Negrin confronted one of his co-workers in an employee parking lot, where he hit him with a police baton on the arm and back."

I request a weekend in Havana with Phil Silvers!
