Rob Enderle Announces Death of Bluetooth

prostoalex writes "Rob Enderle is typing away (perhaps even on his very own Ferrari laptop) at Intel Developer Forum, noting that Intel gave up on IEEE Ultrawideband and decided to switch to Wireless USB derivative. This, in Mr. Enderle's opinion, signifies the end of life for Bluetooth standard, although Enderle calls Bluetooth 'dead' in the title of the article and 'all but dead' in the actual text."

    "Microsoft and Intel are becoming increasingly frustrated with a number of standards-setting working groups that never seem to get anything done." In other news, local Spammers Union 165 rallied the troops during their bi-quarterly meetings in Civic Hall today. Apparently, they're taking their fight all the way to the steps of congress. Said one gentleman, who refused to divulge his name, "We're just honest folk, making an honest living. Why don't you parasites take your hate crimes somewhere else? Hate crimes!"

    In the deep underground caverns in the Arizona desert that
    served as her secret home and laboratory. Behemoth "Bigfoot"
    Brawn, nineteen year old giantess-genius was showing off her
    enormous and heavily muscled body to her thirty-nine year old
    friend and lover Robert Raider.

    Standing an incredible seven-feet-ten-inches tall and weighing
    in at a bone crushing six hundred pounds. "Bigfoot" Brawn was
    an exotic looking oriental Colossus with short black hair
    styled in a crewcut, a unusually high forehead, large black
    slanted, almond-shaped eyes, a long wide nose that measured
    a fantastic four inches long and two inches wide, high flat
    cheekbones, plus a wide thin lipped mammoth mouth capable of
    holding three or four large naval oranges completed Behemoth's
    facial features.

    Robebt Raider was Eurasian-American with a German-Chinese
    background. "Just like the infamous James Bond villain
    Doctor No only nicer!" As he jokingly replied to questions
    about his lineage. Standing six-feet-two-inches tall and
    weighing in at two hundred and fifty pounds of bone and
    weight-trained muscle. Robert Raider was a big and strong
    man but compaired to "Bigfoot" Brawn he was just a tiny, tiny,
    midget; a baby next to his huge, huge lover.

    Both "Bigfoot" and Robert were in the section of the caverns
    that held the gym with its padded gray colored floor mats and
    enormous custom made weights. As they began stripping off
    their navy blue sweat clothes, Robert called out to his mighty
    female friend. "Wait!" The deep voice that answered had so
    much power, Robert could feel its vibrations in his chest!
    "YES? Uh, Bigfoot could you please keep your sweats on while
    you pump that imposing iron of yours? I want to see your
    monstrous muscles rip them apart!"

    The Giantess flashed the world's biggest smile as she answered.
    "OKAY! BUT YOU HAVE TO DO SOMFTHING TOO!" Robert was uneasy
    as he asked. "What do you want?" The smile turned evil.
    "HOLD MY SANDALS WHILE YOU WATCH !" Oh boy! Now Robert was
    in for it!, Behemoth Brawn wanted sex! She knew just touching
    the gigantic footwear would give her lover a raging hard-on!
    Robert loved every part of the immense giantess but the
    feature that really turned him on were her gargantuan feet!
    None could surpass their awesome size! A yard long, eighteen
    inches wide! The big toes were eight inches in diameter the
    other eight toes measured four inches thick! Behemoth Brawn
    truly more than earned her nickname of BIGFOOT!

    "HEADS UP" Bigfoot yelled as she kicked off her mammoth
    three-point black rubber sandals at Robert. Each of those
    three foot long, eighteen inch wide, and eight inch thick
    sandals weighed fifty pounds apiece. Unfortunately the
    giantess misjudged the power and direction of her kicks and
    slammed the heavy footwear into Robert with the impact of
    thrown bricks! As the older man fell on his back a terrifying
    roar of pain from the Titanic Teenager filled the room like
    a blast from a jet engine! "N000!" Monstrous thirty-two inch
    long hands with thick four inch square-tipped fingers gently
    brings the knocked out man inches from his lover's face.

    "OH COME ON MONSTER MAN! PLEASE WAKE UP! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!
    PLEASE WAKE UP!" Nothing, only the steady rise and fall of
    his chest showed he was still alive clinically. The fine mind
    silent. As the hulking woman cradled Robert in her powerful
    arms, an inspiration came to her! "MONSTER MAN DON'T YOU
    WANT TO SEE FEET THAT DWARF MINE?" That did it! Robert was
    up and on his feet in seconds firing questions at the towering
    teenager!

    "Do they belong; to a man or woman? Are they in proportion to
    the person or wonderfully oversized like yours? Does the feet
    have the standard number of toes? Less or more? Are the feet
    wide or long? What does the person...mmmmm! Mmmmm?

    The annoyed Amazon had swallowed Robert's whole head inside
    he
