Especially with advanced phones like the iPhone, it seemed inevitable that "expensive" SMS would start to run into trouble. And, in fact, that appears to be happening. A new study in the UK (where SMS text messaging is huge) has shown that, as people start using instant messaging applications, their use of SMS text messaging drops significantly.

Bush Leaves Notes for Exchange and Outlook
When the Bush administration took office, it decided to replace the Lotus Notes-based e-mail system used under the Clinton Administration with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. The transition broke compatibility with the old archiving system, and the White House IT shop did not immediately have a new one to put in its place.Sphere: Related Content

analyst Shaw Wu cuts Apple rating
Based on his own over expectations. CNN-Fortune again makes its own news.
From the article Paragraphs 2-5
The run-up was enough for American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu, who cut his rating on Apple's (AAPL) stock to neutral Tuesday morning after holding a bullish view on the shares for nearly three years.
"This was a very tough decision as we have been bullish on Apple for the past several years," Wu wrote in a note to clients, adding that the stock has more than tripled in that time.
The move seemed to cool some of the enthusiasm around the stock.
Later
Wu said he believes Apple will beat Wall Street analysts' estimates of a profit of$1.07 a share on$6.97 billion in sales for the quarter. Wu actually expects Apple to earn between$1.25 and$1.30 a share on revenue between$7.1 billion and$7.2 billion .
then CNN Quotes this
We are concerned that expectations may be too high," Wu said. "We are concerned whether it [Apple's report] will be good enough and whether investors will be as forgiving with conservative guidance."So Wu sets the earnings at 30cents more then apple said and almost 20cents over the street, he set the high expectaions himself and CNN fell for it.

Torture President
Anthony Lewis writes in the New York Review of Books (subscription required): "In these last weeks of turbulent events, the single most significant has not been the financial crisis, not the fall of a governor, not the passing of the fifth year of the war without end in Iraq. It has been an American president's formal blessing of the use of torture.
"That was what President Bush did in early March when he vetoed legislation prohibiting the use of brutal methods of interrogation by American intelligence agents. His action was quickly overtaken by other news. But in its redefinition of American values--of the American character--it had profound implications.
"I grew up believing that Americans did not torture prisoners, as Hitler's and Stalin's agents did. There were rogue episodes of American brutality, but to make torture a national policy? Unthinkable.
"No one should be in any doubt that torture was what President Bush had in mind. No one should be fooled by Orwellian talk of 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' . . .
"George W. Bush can seek his God's mercy for trying to legitimize torture by Americans. But here on earth he cannot escape judgment. For me he will always be the Torture President."
No truer word can be said.

Here's the transcript and video of the event. Here's an AP photo of Bush's tears.The preznit is so sad that he cant dream of bloody war hero's while sitting on
He actually did look quite stricken, particularly as he finished up his comments. "Mr. and Mrs. Monsoor: America owes you a debt that can never be repaid. This nation will always cherish the memory of your son. We will not let his life go in vain. And this nation will always honor the sacrifice he made. May God comfort you."
What was going on inside his head as he contemplated this amazing act of heroism in a war he launched by choice? There are so many possibilities.
