Apple’i fännid ei olegi ainsad poesaba-veidrikud:
On Saturday at 7 a.m., Theodore was 14th in line at an Atlanta-area Sprint store, fidgeting for his new Pre. His wedding was scheduled for 8 a.m. As much as Theodore wanted Pre, he wanted his bride, Anita, to see him at the altar at the appointed time. At 7:45, he abandoned his wait and left his line-number and credit card information with a Sprint store employee, asking that he “hold the 14th phone for me.” The Sprint store employee obliged. Minutes after the recessional, the newlyweds returned to pick up their phone, spending the first minutes of married life with a Ready Now consultant who walked the happy couple through Pre’s setup and features. The new Mrs. Travis later revealed that her reaction was “You did what?” to her husband spending the hour before their wedding waiting for a phone, but later admitted, “I guess I kind of understand now.”

… küsimused, mis mul alatasa tekivad, kui loen jälle mõnest nõmedast mõrvast:
WICHITA, KS—The cold-blooded murder of late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, 67, who was gunned down last week by a pro-life activist during services at a local church, has ignited a firestorm of thoughtful, quiet debate about the practice of abortion. “When I saw how [Dr. Tiller] was shot in the head at point-blank range, I couldn’t help but think, ‘Maybe the other side has some logical points worth listening to,’” pro-choice activist Melinda Brody said. “I have a feeling this senseless act of violence will help resolve the divisive reproductive-rights issue once and for all.” Brody also said she’s encouraging doctors across the country to double the number of late-term abortions they perform in hopes of provoking even more open and rational dialogue.

Mõtleks, Tallinna linnapea saadab mulle järjepanu sõnumeid. Väga austav! Kahjuks ei võta ta telefoni, nii et pidin vastama e-kirjaga. Kopeerin selle siia ka juhuks, kui Edgari kirjakast sõprade sõnumeist ummistunud peaks olema (Sa ju loed minu diariumi, eks?)
Kuku, armas Edgar!
Ma ei tea, kust Sa mind tunned, aga küllap oleme kusagil kohtunud või loed minu diariumi vmt. Miks muidu niisugused familiaarses toonis sõnumid…
Püüdsin Sulle linnavalitsusse helistada (ole hea, saada mulle oma mobiilinumber, kui tahad suhelda), aga Sa ei võtnud vastu. Miks? (Kindlasti Sa töötad ka laupäeviti – linn ju suur ja pealegi sajab väljas vihma.) Tahtsin Sulle teatada, et olen juba hääletanud, ega kavatse antud häält muutma hakata, nii et sõnumi saatmine poleks tasunud vaeva. Ära enam kirjuta – sellest pole kasu!
Kui tahad suhelda, helista parem (ja ära karda, et valel ajal satud – kui olen matusel või nii, siis panen telefoni alati hääletule-režiimile)!

e-valimisrakendus
E-valimised on päris meeldiv asi – kodanikukohuse täitmine käib kiiresti ja mugavalt. Kena on, et ka Maci jaoks on tarkvara olemas ja käivitub probleemideta (mida ei saa alati öelda kohalike pankade e-teenuste kohta). Kahju, et Martin Helmel ei ole lootust vajalikku häältearvu kokku saada…
