It is that unfortunate mindset that continues the proverbial shooting of our country's foot. The notion -- unprecedentedly perpetuated by the equally ignorant populace media -- that Bush was a "disastrous" and shameful president was laughable even then, much more so now. I have never been more proud of the American people the day Bush was re-elected. That they were able to wade through all the celebrity opinions, ignorant pundit rants, and vast amounts of disinformation (and outright lies) that was being spread and elect the best choice was monumental and unexpected. I was, and still am, proud to have been apart of it. It is unfortunate the anti-Bush trolls (to summarize with one simple label) continued to propagandize the American public, as it eventually led to the mindset expressed above becoming the majority feeling... and we all see where that's gotten us.

And before the "Are you seriously retarded?" replies begin, please save it. Most people have come out of their Bush-hating and\or Obama-loving dazes, and have realized truths on their own. Just because Bill Maher continues to trash Bush instead of coming up with new, equally uneducated and lame material, doesn't mean that's what most people want or enjoy. It's sad that it's still considered taboo to support Bush on sites like this or abroad (especially when the facts already do, zing!).

As for Palin, she is a good woman who seems to be a bit over her head (to put it politely)... but I'd much rather listen to her or Beck or Hannity and at least get a nugget of truth or insight here and there, than listen to Maher or Olbermann, or Sean Penn, or whomever and be saturated in their unknowings. But I get it... it's much more fun to make a compilation of funny out-of-context quotes or awkward physical movements of right-wingers than it is of the lefties... plus when the majority of our media is grossly liberal, which is more likely to get the most airtime? :)

We have two (Samsung Focus and HTC Surround on AT&T) that we purchased for testing. Both devices are slick, smooth, and fully-featured. The Exchange integration is easily the best available, even ousting Touchdown for Android. The ability to not only view but edit Office documents is also huge. The UI is very intuitive and the functionality of launch features like Social apps integration and the music player are working great. Sure it has its flaws.. not being able to connect to WiFi that uses a hidden SSID for example... but people seem to have terribly selective memories when it comes to the the early days of their now-favorite mobile platforms. This is easily the best, smoothest, and most well-rounded launch of any mobile platform (unified or open) to date. Should Microsoft have waited just a bit longer to make sure they didnt make some of the same mistakes that they criticized other manufacturers for (e.g. no cut, copy, paste, or true multitasking)? Absolutely. But at least they learned somewhat and launched with a road map for integrating those features within the next 3 months. WP7 pushes the industry in a number of ways, and I look forward to seeing it improve and forcing the the other two to stay on their toes. I, for one, welcome (back) our former mobile overlords.

Ya because prisonplanet is an accurate source of information. Geez, hogwash ignorant "news" sites like that do more more harm to our country than any single POTUS ever has or ever will. They are breeding hogwash ignorant Americans by the thousands. Ok, back to 'Loose Change' everyone, sorry for the interruption..

But it seems that few here realize the reason why. It's the same reason why SP2 for Office requires you to "reset your Outlook profile" back up. The reason? Because for the first time this 'upgrade' actually takes it's time and does it right, instead of casually overlaying new APIs and layers on top of old ones. It reindexes, reworks, revamps, cleans out the old, and carefully puts in the new. I've done multiple clean installs of Win 7 (RC1 and RTM) as well as upgrades from Vista (and prior version of Win 7) and I have yet to run into an issue on either one. Drivers work, apps work, settings work, everything is where it should be and runs practically like it was installed fresh. Although the bitching is understandable and expected due to Microsoft's reputation in this department, it is unwarranted when considering Windows 7 merits alone. I think a lot of you guys will be pleasantly surprised. Btw.. It's taken a few hours, but never in the double digits. I think this is a worst-case-scenario more than anything else.

lol.. I get what you're trying to say, but it in absolutely NO way has the same functionality whatsoever. That's like saying my Geo Metro has the same functionality as your Lexus since they both use gasoline in their engines (both comprised of a number of cylinders!) to drive from point A to point B).

.. that it will be done by Pixar. The trailer was produced and presented by Disney, and if it's true this will be Pixar's first work on live-action film (akaik anyway). Also I think that fact alone (if turns out to be true) is enough to make me, and most others I assume, want to see the film. If for no other reason then to see how Pixar's brilliance transfers to live-action.
