(Humor) Date Of Apple Backlash Set For March 21, 2008

NEW YORK—In the face of Apple, Inc.'s 3- billionth iTunes sale and soaring stock price, some Wall Street forecasters are predicting that consumers will finally get fed up with the computer manufacturer's high retail prices and various product bugs sometime between March 20 and 22 of next year.

"At the current rate, we believe that at this time a sea change will occur in which people will look down at their glossy white or black devices and feel a sense of embarrassment and gullibility," Goldman Sachs analyst Steven Shore said. "They will realize that, despite all the sleek design, they got caught up in a wave of hype that made them shell out additional hundreds of dollars for options and features they didn't need. Until then, I would like to point out that my iPhone is awesome."
Apple has responded to the backlash rumors by announcing the late-October release of a mint green iPod in time for the holiday shopping season, a strategy that appears to have silenced naysayers at least temporarily.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The kids watched the old Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie the other day. It was a hit, the kids really liked it. 
Maria in particular wanted to watch it again. She said," Can I watch the scary Bambi movie."

While we were checking over our living will this morning we explained to Joshua that if Anna and I were to die that he would go to Uncle Ben and Aunt Cindy and they would take care of him and his brother and sister.

We gently asked, "Do you understand?"

He said, "Yes, but I won't be able to drive the car to get to their house." 

#1 Bella takes the cake last weekend.

In case you hadn't heard, Bella the movie debued last weekend. It is an incredible film that everyone over 12 should go and see.

It was #17 as far as box office take with a healthy $1.3 million...but it was being shown at only 165 theatres nationwide. That is a huge $8,051 per theatre which puts it at #1. The next closest was earned only $6,100 per theatre and the rest were way below that. (source Yahoo box office)

Way to go Bella. I hope you make it into EVERY theatre in the world because people need to see this movie.
