My American Friends.
Ok there's an amount of good old American Cheese contained herein, it's too long (as a video, not as a speech), and it still might not help defeat the hillaryzilla. The message is spot on though, and it makes me wish I could vote in the US election. If you can, you know what you have to do.

I'd almost buy a N95 to use this. Maybe I should investigate a second-hand N80. Is there a small, wifi-equipped S60 phone that doesn't suck? I'd be leaving it in my bag as a hotspot for my iPod touch whatever.

The platform just gets better.
“For some users, there’s never enough memory,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod and iPhone Product Marketing. “Now people can enjoy even more of their music, photos and videos on the most revolutionary mobile phone and best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world.”
No fuss, no song-and-dance, just a press release and more memory to hold your TV shows and all those third-party apps that be-a-comin'. Contrast this with Nokia putting 8GB in the N95, and practically relaunching the damn thing. I wouldn't mind so much if the black N95 had fixed the shitty buttons. And if we needed telling again, the iPod is now a Wi-Fi mobile device
rather than an mp3 player. Oh, and the average price just went up. Weren't Apple supposed to be getting squeezed by low-cost commodity players by now?

Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.
Colombia's most-wanted drugs baron has been found dead in a holiday cabin in the Venezuelan city of Merida.
Officials confirmed the body is that of Wilber Varela, alias "Soap", a man with a long and bloody history as leader of the Norte del Valle drug cartel.
While Varela had a $5m bounty from the US on his head, the evidence suggests he was killed by his own men.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I can't see this working
Noahas in "nooooo... arrggghh" then?
