Posted by: Zoon ::: Killer Apple ::: I'm loving this new iPhone already. Other than requiring service through Cingular and the enormous price tag for the device, the presentation at Macworld 2007 made we want to buy one. I'm digging the multi-tuch technology (no stylus!), 160ppi resolution, the fact that it's only 11.6mm thick, it's a quad-band GSM + EDGE phone, and it works with any IMAP or POP3 email service...and it runs OS X. Friggin' sweet!

Posted by: Zoon ::: National (Negative) Attention ::: From ESPN's Tuesday Morning Quarterback Gregg Easterbrook: Single Worst Play of the Season So Far: It's overtime in the Pittsburgh at Cincinnati game. The defending champion Steelers are eliminated from postseason play, but Cincinnati must win to keep its playoff chance alive -- and it would later turn out that had Cincinnati won, Denver's surprise loss would have put the Trick or Treats into the postseason. Pittsburgh faces first-and-10 on its 33. The Bengals start a chain-reaction of fiasco by big-blitzing. Santonio Holmes catches a quick slant in front of Cincinnati corner Tory James, who stumbles. James then turns around and watches Holmes run 67 yards for the winning touchdown. It's overtime of the final game, if you don't catch the Pittsburgh runner your season ends, and James just stood there watching Holmes run; eventually, he sort-of jogged in the general direction of the play. Several other Bengals just stood watching Holmes head up the sideline, too. It's overtime of the final game, if you don't catch the Pittsburgh runner your season ends! Cincinnati Bengals, you committed the Single Worst Play of the 2006 Regular Season. Afterward, Carson Palmer whined, "This is just another game we shouldn't have lost to a team we feel we're better than." Carson: You prove this on the field, not in the media room. The no-account Bengals had no business in the playoffs, and the football gods spoke.
