    Happy Thanksgiving! It’s Saturday night, and I’ve had a delicious turkey/potatoes/stuffing dinner for the past three nights.

Lifehacker has an article about how Barack Obama is being forced to give up his Blackberry for security reasons: President-elect Barack Obama will have to give up the BlackBerry that he’s had literally by his side (clipped to his [...]
