Motorola teases Xoom Super Bowl ad: '2011 looks a... →
chartier:
Let me get this straight: someone on Motorola’s Android tablet marketing team thought it’d be a great idea to take a swipe at Apple by referencing 1984—a year that, when placed in an Apple context, becomes much more synonymous with a legendary ad for a computer that changed the world?
And this is supposed to do Motorola products a good thing?

Should I Port My Number to Google Voice?
The one last barrier for you using Google Voice full time—number porting—just got knocked down. But should you use Google Voice? Almost certainly yes.

Reblog if.......
Reblog if you hate being guilted to reblog posts that have pics of cute abused animals or causes that don’t have any way to help said issue just to gain followers for the original poster.

Update:
The mass in my brain has calcium surrounding it so the MRI could not see beyond it. So now the plan is to get another MRI next month and see if it grows. I’m also waiting on a referral to a nurologist in Scottsdale.
