Apple to Release Software Upgrade to Fix Dropped Calls on iPhone 3G (Switched)
Aug 18th 2008 12:44PM I have the same problem with my Motorola Q9h switching between 3G and EDGE at will. I think a software upgrade, other than Windows Mobile 6.1 is needed for this phone as well. How about it, Motorola?
NAS: 'N-Word' Please (BV Newswire)
Oct 22nd 2007 6:24PM As one of the "old folks", I'd like to add my two cents.
Using the "N" word in music is not exclusive to rappers. In the 70's, I can think of at least 3 songs that got air play using that word. Two of them were by Curtis Mayfield, one being "I'm Your Pusher Man" and "If There's Hell Below". I distinctly remember the word in another song, although the title and artist don't come immediately to mind-after all, I am old...
My objection comes more when "the word" is used by an ethnicity other than our own race. I'm more offended hearing young brothers (and Curtis Mayfield) using derogotory terms to describe women, such as "bitches" and "ho's". I'm even more offended by young women thinking is cute being called one of those names and allowing it to happen. It sets the women's movement back several decades. When I think about how hard we worked to gain respect from men and whites, it almost feels like the struggle was in vain.

Guys, I lost my phone. $700, a punch in the arm, and a land whale later I have a new one. #wompwomp
