BLACKBERRYS ARE NO LONGER COMPETITIVE TO I PHONES:
I owned two Blackberry "Smart Phones," and they were OK and only that.
The iPhone is seriously in a diffent league. It is a totally functioning fast small computer with
numerous advantages that Research In Motion never conceptualized and thus this company has suffered and will continue to suffer in terms of loss of market share and lost users.
Reasons:
1) Slow Processor
2) Inadequate touch screen
3) Poor/No Applicatons Available
4) Small Screen
5) No IPod
Let's face it. My iPhone lets me use voice to text technology (i.e. Dragon Dictation) to send out E mails and texts in seconds; I can surf the web with four or five different browsers, visit YouTube and see thousands of videos, view the NYTimes, the Wall Street Journal, and have a great camera - and photo album- from which I can quickly E mail great photos. Blackberrys - fine for an E mail or two. But they simply didn't foresee the incredible changes that only Steve Jobs saw - and brought to market. Thus, the company suffers!
Surprisingly, at this point, in Nassau county, NY, which borders NYC, and which the forecasts predict the eye of the storm will pass directly through/over, the stores are still stocked with water and supplies, and not completely mobbed. I've convinced my parents with whom I live to take some precaution and do some last minute buying and stockpiling of water and other assorted necessities tomorrow.
But it's not like the stores are packed, things are relatively calm.
I plan on turning my computer off once the winds and rain start and bunkering down in the underground basement with my laptop and iPhone (and battery-doubler) although power and cell lines are likely to go down for days, possibly more worst-case. Hopefully things will go smoothly and damage will be kept to a minimum. Still, something scary about the eye of a hurricane passing right over your neighborhood.
I'm just hoping the top won't be blown off the house.
NYC.gov specifies those areas of the city that are near enough to water to be in danger of serious floods.
Mayor Bloomberg has stated in press conferences those in affected areas should move to higher ground; ie, non-affected areas, staying with friends and/or relatives in the boroughs or outside.
There likely won't be lawlessness, the waters will recede and there will just be a lot of property damage. They are deploying a lot of police units to keep order in the city and crews are coming from out of state and those local to the area being lined up in teams to repair and clear damage and restore power to the affected areas.
I'm still scared-- stockpiling on water and going to bunker down in my basement, as the projected path of the 'cane brings the eye with a near-direct hit over my residence. Just gotta tough it out and hope they can restore power in a reasonable period of time and damage to life and proprety is minimal.
Let's get real! Apple has sold 80 million I phones. It is a phenomenal device. In 2007 it didn't even exist or was just beginning. In addition, the tablet category was virtually non-existent in 2010.
So Apple decided to introduce the I Pad. And 13 million people loved the device enough to buy it.
So, what can we deduce? My view is that the developers at Apple, led by Mr. Steve Jobs are creating great products that have worldwide appeal. And they are products that have been intelligently marketed!
Some people may not like everything they do. But without any argument they have great products which offer a pleasant, productive experience to use.
To clarify, the point is that all else being equal, being fat is not the best mode, rather the fact that one has to consume a large enough amount of nutritionally unsound food on the typical Western diet to become fat does not reflect negatively on being skinny or average or the health and/or longevity benefits thereof, but rather on the poorness in nutrition of said diet types. In other words, if you consume the same amount of nutrients across the whole spectrum of BMI or caloric intake variations, the premise or message of the article would not hold true.
CR has been proven in over 200 species of animals, including monkeys. The final results from human subjects will not be in for decades, but the initial tests (biomarkers) are in line with what would be expected if it were to work with humans.
The bottom line from the CR point of view, is that the American/Western diet is so nutritionally inadequate that it takes a relatively large amount of food/calories to provide the satisfactory level of nutrients that the body requires. That is to say, if you had a number of diets all containing the same level of nutrients, but with just different caloric content, the one who eats a rather low amount of calories, and accordingly had a low BMI, would live the longest. This is the idea behind the CRON diet (Calorie Restriction Optimal Nutrition) -- satisfying your nutritional needs while reducing calories by eliminating non-nutritious calories and consuming only nutrient-rich foods.
I will not make the case for CRON here, the research speaks for itself, and there are many resources for pursuing it online. Just adding the CR view on this type of study, similar versions of which have been reported in other times and places.

Last month was five degrees above average, but this month is even warmer in the northeast US. By the end of the month we'll get the official figures, but where the average temperature is 38 for this time of year it has been in the 40s and 50s routinely, it was even 71 this past weekend in New York, tying an all time record for the month. That's 32 degrees above average. And this year has set another record-- we have never gone so far into the winter without a single snow storm as we have this year. Global warming? Perhaps.
Well, if there is ever a human settlement on Mars that loses its supplies perhaps they will be able to recover the probe and use its 1997-era transmitter as a modem to signal the mother spacecraft SOS.
I know, that was the Pathfinder, but cut me a little slack.
Not trying to be funny. It just so happens that the population of the whole of New York City is just about exactly the number of hogs' heads you described, so I thought you were referring to that.
Just to chime in, I've been called a psychopath, even in mental health facilities, but I've historically been plagued with guilt and sought forgiveness for (comparatively minor) wrongdoings from others, that's how I've cleared my mind of guilt. Someone who's just psychotic or has a deranged pesronality isn't necessarily bad. I in fact place quite high stress and importance on maintaining strong moral virtue.
Maybe you forget the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa or status as a central hub of finance, culture, and politics that places like New York have for terrorism or nuclear warfare?
As far as overpopulation, the U.N. has predicted that world population will max out at about 9 billion by 2050, and start decreasing at a steady rate thereafter. FWIW.
