Don't fly NASA

Don't call it Iphone
Do call it iPhone
Now both Cisco and Apple have their iPhone, and nobody should really care. But shouldn't it be iFone, oh yeah that's already trademarked. (although might be dead)

Don't lie.
Do call the Clinton's liars.
Geffen put it the best I've heard.
"Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”

Don't leave Iraq.
Do send a Prince.
Back to the good old days when we had our leaders on the battlefield. Maybe all wars would be better this way. I doubt many of this worlds leaders would. You can't go to war unless your president/Supreme Leader is on a horse at the front.

Don't put Tara Reid in a bad Aussie commercial. (dodo.com.au)
Do put girls in skimpy clothes that don't talk in your commercial. (various smart advertisers)

Don't be a dork.

He Who Must Not Be Named

Instead of giving this one person any more press than he already has, I'm not going to mention his name, but let's just say that he is the biggest proponent of the Global Warming charade. He even made a stupid movie about it. My question is, why do all these media and journalists put him on? He has nothing new to say, and isn't even a scientist. But it seems that no matter to what channel I turn to, in any country, he is there. How pitiful, and how terrible our journalists have become. I would rather watch Britney Spears shave her head than watch this guy speak.
So, I won't give him any more energy than he should get.
Onto better news....well maybe not...
Another He Who Must Not Be Named is a bloke that works for the famous "i" company. How did this company, that has a fruit for its name, become synonymous with the "i" term? They want to be able to copyright anything that has an "i" in front of it. They were not the first ones to use "i" before a word. And if you remember correctly, the "i" was used to designate that it was an Internet product. I have not seen one "i" product from this company that even uses the internet. Why don't they just call it MacPhoto, or MacLife? Again, I blame the press for this one. They even released a new phone, and guess what it has, a "touchscreen". And apparently they are the first ones to do this. How can this be? The Treo was released years ago, and HTC has released numerous phones based on MS Windows Mobile that had a touchscreen. Granted, the iPhone may have an improved touchscreen, and apparently no need for a stylus, but is this really new? Most people I know that have Treos, never use their stylus anyways, so the are using it with their finger, just like you would on a fruit inspired phone. But again, what press outlet has pointed this fact out? Why is it that every time this company puts an "i" in front of something, it's deemed as revolutionary. Don't get me wrong, they make some decent products, yet for most of us in the know, we wouldn't buy it because there are better more open solutions out there. It all comes to PR.

UPDATE: Apparently Apple didn't create it's touchscreen tech...see below
