Pink O'Korner: September 2010

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/06/overheating-iphones/

"As soon as I upgraded the software to 4.0.1, the phone started to heat up tremendously and the battery ran down super fast. By 11:00 am, I was at 49 percent battery and on below 20 percent by 3 p.m. I called my friend at AT & T and he told me to turn off multi-tasking. I double tapped the home button to get to the multitasking window. I saw a couple of dozen programs were all running at once. I held one of the icons of the running programs and they all displayed a round red "-" sign. I shut down each program manually by touching the round red "-" sign. NOW, my battery lasts much longer. Programs keep running when you hit the home button and must be shut down manually this way."

Joaquin Phoenix Does Not Rise Again - Newsweek

Very good review.

Affleck and Phoenix get the skewering they so richly earned.

Thank you Newsweek for having real writers. Bless journalism. Bless quality.

a sentimental hoarder.

let go of the past.

"focus on the idea I can never get their childhood back"

I sympathize. It's so hard to let go of the past.

The most unforgiveable thing about George W. Bush was that he exploited our pain after 9/11 to further his political agenda and attack Iraq.

No Spain, No Brazil: Where Else is Amazon Missing Out?

Amazon’s absence in Brazil seems more related to strong competitors already established here (Americanas.com , Submarino.com , Livraria Cultura and Saraiva).

This is why I like The Book Depository, http://www.bookdepository.co.uk as they offer free wordwide shipping to most countries and have an even bigger range.

Gemini

May 21 - June 21

Some new information could come your way that causes you to focus on a new interest, Gemini. It'll set your mind traveling to faraway places and times. You may also meet some new people who are highly educated, from foreign lands, or both. They might have fascinating stories to tell! Whatever happens, today promises to excite your curiosity and stimulate your intellect.

Corner Propaganda and Restroom Greening

We pasted the corner propagandas in the restrooms to deliver and educate employees with environmental, health and safety information. In addition, we put plants in the restrooms to green and purify the air and decorate the restrooms.

-something seems to have been lost in translation...
