Pelosi's Health Care Plan
My thoughts: I think the house did a great job of pleasing both sides of the party, though I think the surtax on the wealthy is going to put some added pressure on the GOP to push back on the plan.
Me: I think the Droid is going to send a shockwave through the AT&T world, with customers hoping to gain everything they're "lacking" with the iPhone. A shockwave that may be short-lived and underpowered. Once people realize the glamor of the Droid is merely glamor and the integrated GPS with turn-by-turn directions isn't quite worth the switch... Droid will go into the Palm Pre category and fizzle out.
Cnet's review makes my case. Lots of cool, nothing ground (or iPhone) breaking.
Bing's homepage is pretty this morning.
Me: I think taking precautions and having a regulations system (see "who gets the vaccine first) is imperative in times like this. I think the general Swine Flu paranoia is there, but not too many people (at least in our region) are panicky about the outbreak. Personally, I'm not too worried, at least, I won't worry until I need to.
Other news (not worth linking to, but worth knowing):
~ China gets the iPhone, costing at or around $700/unit.
~ MJ's "This is is" gets IMAX attention
~ Secretary Hillary Clinton is urging Pakistan to join forces with the US mentioning "joint concerns over terrorism"
~ Consumer spending was down in September, but the economy shows major signs of rebounding.
