   The jackpot, of course, would be a styrofoam iSlate.

   They’re not revealing the iSlate at this event. They’re only revealing big things at their own events, one of which will come at the end of the month — rumor has it.

   Marc, I’m very disappointed to hear your Vegas trip doesn’t revolve around gambling. Say it ain’t so Marc!

   Ahmed… happy new year, amigo.

   Ron: I NEVER gamble. I only make short-term investments

   You can take this to Las Vegas, but water may be just as good. Alcohol substitute that avoids drunkenness and hangovers in development

   Marc — we know you’re preoccupied in Vegas, doing important things about stuff, but I thought you might want a link to the governator’s last official state of the state thingy…(listening to the speech and some of his solutions, one kinda wonders what planet Arnold has been governing from all these years):

   Of course, you’ve probably already found a gadget-y way to check this out already.

    Music to my ears:

    Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s (I-Conn.) role in upending health care negotiations is costing him dearly at home.

    A new poll by Public Policy Polling has the Independent senator losing support in his home state, not just among Democrats but among independents and even Republicans as well.

    More than 80 percent (81 percent) of Democrats now say they disapprove of the job Lieberman is doing with only 14 percent approving. Among Republicans, 48 percent disapprove of the senator with just 39 approving. And among independents, 61 percent disapprove of Lieberman’s antics with just 32 percent approving.

    “It all adds up to a 25% approval rating with 67% of his constituents giving him bad marks,” the study concludes. “Barack Obama’s approval rating with Connecticut Republicans is higher than Lieberman’s with the state’s Democrats.”

    The only bad news is that we have two more years of this walking carbuncle.

    Hadn’t heard from this guy in a while. Note whom he chose to interview after Marc presumably declined.

    You’d think a blogger at a tech convention would, you know, blog.

    The convention is in Vegas, Bob. There are other pursuits going on there for Marc.

    Well, jim, at least he could post his losses.

    Marc:

    I have been wondering why WiFi radio has not taken off.. One has access to the entire planet’s radio stations and it is free to listen. If one has a wireless router the computer need not be turned on.
    The sound is nearly stereo.

    Mine is on whenever I am home.
