My thougths from today

Random thoughts from today June 11, 2009

I sent out a tweet about Android and found that there are bots on Twitter that look for hash words and then retweet them. I guess I should have guessed that people would setup bots on twitter. I hope it does not ruin it

A Symantec executive today was quoted by Dow Jones Newswire as saying they will evaluate working with Android if it gets used significantly.

I follow Lance Ulanoff on Twitter and he tweeted something funny today.

"Spoke to the Analog TV signal today. It said, "Hold me, I feel cold."

It was my friend Paul's birthday so Jeff and I went and got him some cup cakes and sang happy birthday. He liked it... nothing like hostess cup cakes for a birthday!

Verizon announced that it will start offering the Palm Pre in Jan, 2010 once the exclusivity agreement with Sprint is over.

Here is a thought. Should Apple break away from AT&T? What would this do for the Apple and iPhone? No idea... if you do please post a comment.

Ok now this one is only going to piss you off. Today the IRS weighs rules for taxing private use of work cell phones - ME: yup they want to tax you for 1/4 of your work phone usage. Will they get away with this? I think probably not. What do you think?

I bought stock in Palm today, probably 3 months to late if you look at history of the stock. Byt since they changed the CEO there was some good movement in the value. It panned out for me. I hope it sticks.

The redbull airplane races are coming to the Detroit river again. All week they have been setting up and all week I have been waiting for the practice day that finally came today. Wow, I could watch them all day long.

According to Marketwatch Qualcomm is boosting 3rd quarter revenue outlooks from 2.67B to 2.77B due to demand for high-end phone chips.

Thought H1N1 had quietly gone away?.... wrong, the news today has WHO announcing the first Pandemic in 40 years. Something like 70+ countries have been effected.

According to CNN Manchester United accept world record offer of $130 million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. ME: Holy cow that is a lot of money.

What led you to want to own Palm? Balance sheet? Sales?
Hey! Am I still the only one commenting here? I'll keep telling people. You can thank me later. How about a little something extra for, you know, the effort? So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

The release of Pre got me thinking, but when they changed the CEO I was convinced. When I looked at the what the stock had been doing over the last few months I kicked myself that I didnt buy earlier.

Thanks in advance for telling people about my blog. Yes right now you are the only one that comments on my Pennings.

Not sure about the little something extra seeing that you are still the only one reading what I have to say. However, if that changes we can talk. By the way are you ready to tell me who you are?
