Apple to give bumpers to iPhone 4 users

Apple hopes to calm the worries about the iPhone 4's reception issues since its release.  At a press office on Friday, Apple promised to give "bumpers" to put on the iPhone 4 to get rid of the reception problems. Users have commented on blogs and the news has spread worldwide on the new phone's bad reception and propensity to drop calls. This phone was highly anticipated and is a let down according to news reports I've seen and comments by users throughout the internet. Let's face it, for a phone - reception is key. Many users depend on the phone for business needs and bad reception is not an option you want.  If a minor application was an issue - I believe the outcry would have been minor.  So, we'll see what happens and hope the bug doesn't spread!

Flight Attendant on JetBlue loses his cool and exits plane

Unless you haven't watched the news or listened to the radio in the past couple of day, you won't be familiar with this story .  From news reports I've seen online and watched on television (see below), it appears the JetBlue flight attendant that lost his cool is becoming a hero of sorts. Online blogs are praising him for doing what some often only fantasize about.  Reports indicated a passenger failed to listen to the flight attendant's warnings about standing up and getting luggage from the overhead compartment before the appointed time. It's said the passenger was belligerent and an argument ensued between the two resulting in expletives being used. One report I saw mentioned the overhead compartment hit the flight attendant in the head (not sure of that as it's not mentioned on every report I've seen).   In any case, the flight attendant promptly gets on the intercom and calls the passenger an expletive in response and tells the ent...

Lindsay Lohan sentenced to jail

http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/07/06/lindsay.lohan.court/index.html As reported on CNN (see link above), Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days  in jail and 90 days in rehab following her jail stay. I believe this may save her life - hopefully.  Anyone with experience being around individuals with self-destructive behaviors knows the drill:  sometimes you have to let them hit rock-botom before they see the light - so to speak. While I'm no where near perfect, I can say that I have no personal experience with drug and alcohol abuse. I've seen how drugs/alcohol can destroy lives and sometimes the damage is irreparable.  I hope she gets the time and treatment she needs to reflect and heal herself inside and out. Sometimes we can be our worst enemy.

...They say don't talk politics or religion at work - wait, what about social media sites???

Beware, "Big Brother" is watching your every move online.  In this case "Big Brother" is a potential employer or current one that wants to know what your activities outside of work entail.  Those of us with nothing to hide may have no worries, but the "perspective" is in the eye of the HR person. One has to wonder if their personal views of say religion, politics or music for example, would be cause for pre-judgement by employers. In the current economic situation here in the U.S., I suspect "watching what you say online" is a harsh reality to how most people conduct themselves on the Web.  Apart from filtering your speech online, what about the personal photos of your "away-from-work" activities that can land someone in hot water with their employer.  Remember the story of the teacher who was fired when pictures of her vacation was posted on Facebook (article below)?  Mama always told me life's not fair! Also, the NY Times art...
