Hee Haw! 😉

3. What Scares Him Most – Apple letting its success get to it’s head and lowering it’s standards to become a Microsoft.

7. Why hotties aren’t interested in you and what you can do about it.
The operative word here is “could”.
“Could”, “might” and “may”: the sloppy cop-outs of junk journalism.
I think we need a few “Chuck Norris” type comments, but put in Steve Jobs instead.
I know you were going for the unobtanium, but most significant tax cuts produce expansion, more jobs and more tax revenues.
Really? Where’s the expansion, jobs, and tax revenues from the Bush tax cuts? Oh, right, it’s OBAMA’S fault. Because nothing is ever the GOP’s fault.
