Catching up on my reading I see that there are some things that haven't changed: 1) Zuck is pissing off many Fleecebook users with new features. 2) Apple's next spyPhone is about to be announced. 3) Amazon is coming to the market with their own tablet called Kindle Fire- and it is NOT Android, WebOs or Apple based. 3) Meg Whitman won't go away. She managed to crawl out from under the rock she was hiding under, and now will "lead" HP. I'm not sure where to, but it probably can't be as bad as Fiorina... 4) The gubmint is or has already run out of operating money. More to come (probably printed afresh). 5) Obama is still being whipped by the formerly(G)OP. 6) The list of formerly(G)OP candidates has not changed, although Perry's stripes are beginning to show through ... 7) Cain stole the show in Florida (which may prove that the problem is not Obama's color, but his party instead). It's still anybody's guess who will walk away with the nomination, but as of today- it won't be Christie and can't be Palin (as yet). 8) Oil dropped in price, but it didn't affect California gas prices. 9) Gold dropped in value, which caused a lot of people to lose a bunch of money they just got... 10) Michael Jackson's "doctor" is finally getting his day in court...
So essentially, not much changed while I was vacating...
One thing that FINALLY did change, Andy Rooney is retiring at 92! I thought those awning eyebrows would carry him forever!

My Statement
"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman
