Why Apple must announce the Verizon iPhone

By Wilson Rothman
Tomorrow Apple is presenting the next version of Mac OS X, nicknamed "Lion." Apple CEO Steve Jobs is expected  to reveal a brand new MacBook Air, too. But will he confirm the existence of the long-rumored Verizon iPhone? It'd be dumb if he didn't. Here's why:
In a well-publicized rant during the latest earnings call, Jobs ripped into Google's Android, providing many reasons why it's not as good as Apple. If the two mobile kingpins weren't in a shooting war before, they are now. And what better way to screw with Android than to tell everyone shopping for one of Verizon's hot Droid models to wait just two and a half months for an iPhone?

Military’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Policy Will Stand for Now

Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. appeals court temporarily delayed enforcement of a ruling requiring the government to end its “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.

A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco yesterday temporarily postponed the ruling, saying in a three-sentence order it wanted “to provide this court with an opportunity to consider fully the issues presented.”

While virtually the entire Western hemisphere was convinced that Lindsay Lohan was an addict, she stubbornly insisted for years and through miles of partying, DUIs and rehabs, that she wasn’t. That’s called denial with a capital D!
Well, after two years in office, a crippling recession and massive unemployment, you still think that a depressed and discouraged nation should somehow see that you and the Democrats have done a great job in office?

The Glee star told GQ magazine that she refused to get surgery despite being told that she needed to get a nose job in school and when she started acting, according to reports.
"I was one of the only girls in my high school that didn't get one. And if anybody needed it, I probably did. But my mom always told me, growing up, 'Barbra Streisand didn't get a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And I didn't," she said.
The 24-year-old - Rachel Berry in the hit US show - added: "That's why I'm proud to be on a positive show and to be a voice for girls and say, 'You don't need to look like everybody else. Love who you are.'"
