Many mobile phone addicts and BlackBerry junkies report feeling vibrations
Many mobile phone addicts and BlackBerry junkies report feeling vibrations when there are none, or feeling as if they’re wearing a cellphone when they’re not.

Is it the end of days for Twitter ?
So, can Twitter survive when it is quickly getting a reputation for being a failure? Will they be able to compete in a market that is quickly seeing better and more stable alternatives to Twitter?
Lately, Twitter has also been experiencing several technical difficulties. Whenever I click on my account, it delivers a message saying that it is over capacity. It is frustrating, especially when updating posts. Hopefully, they will iron out the kinks soon.

Baseball’s Best Game 7s [Pics, 1924 to 2007]

Senators To Government: Don’t Search Laptops At Airports!
Advocacy groups and some legal experts told Congress on Wednesday that it was unreasonable for federal officials to search the laptops of United States citizens when they re-enter the country from traveling abroad.
If you are not on a terrorist watch list or a suspected terrorist, I feel it is unfair for government officials to check your laptop files, etc. It is just another example of the government prying into our lives.
