    In reply to Did Apple's Ex-CFO Rat Out Steve Jobs?
    Anderson and Jobs pointed fingers at each other, at one point issuing dueling press releases shifting the blame.


    Dueling press releases? Is that like "Dueling Banjos"?


    Sigh. What is it with me this lifetime? Even for ma boo, Owen, i've got to drag things into the gutter.

    At least when Apple pre-announced a phone, they had a price, a charging connector that already existed in the millions*, and a ship date.


    Very bold move by Palm - but I think it will ultimately prove to be as foolish as letting their lead in PDAs peter out in the late 90s.


    *Can someone please tell me if there's an optional wired charging connector at all, or if you'll have to find the magic wireless odd-shaped electricity god altar thingy every time your battery gets low?

    @CaliforniaCajun: They introduced the wireless charger was an accessory. So you can take solace knowing that the standard charging cable will be free.

    Pre is a ridiculous name, but it does have one big thing going for it. Pre rhymes with Wii. This is not a coincidence.

    Palm's new whatever might actually be interesting, exciting, revolutionary, but there's one small problem -- You can't actually buy one! Like, right now. They say sometime in the first half of 2009, as if they expect someone excited about a getting great new phone to wait six whole months. When Jobs announces, it's ready to roll. Is this so difficult to understand?

    Ever since VW moved to Gawker, the comments have become totally retarded on VW.


    Time to do what everyone else did and just give up on VW.


    So long and thanks for all the fish!

    Palms are for wanking. Treos are for stabbing. iPhones are for douching. And BlackBerries are delicious with a little sugar and some fresh cream.


    But they won't telly about any of that at CES.

    My problem with anything Palm makes is that most of it's pretty Mac unfriendly, even Mac openly hostile. Since i've been running Macs since 1988, this vexed me when i had a Palm Pilot.

    All my early sexual fantasties revolved around Bono's performance at Red Rocks in 1983. Now? I'd rather give Rupert Murdoch a hummer than that sell-out.
