I love to see that we are fitting our soldiers with the best tools we can to help them. They deserve it. I imagine that there will be some great secure apps that the public may never see that will help them track and identify the enemy in the field.

The U.S. army is heading into a world where every soldier will be connected by a smartphone. The move is expected to revolutionize the way the army trains its soldiers and fights in the field.
The Loop has learned that an informal survey of army personnel earlier this year heavily favored the iPhone over any other smartphone on the market.
Many people try to define themselves by trying to create an image of how they appear to others. It's vanity, if you will. Besides this being a total waste of time, energy, and money, it often does not create the impression they desire. Phones have become statements about who we are much like cars did 20 or 30 years ago. A guy with a Corvette was perceived much differently than a guy with a VW Beatle. This chart may exaggerate a little, but it hits the general stereotype right on. See how you stack up.

I'm a sucker for short-simple life-affiriming messages. This one is on a park bench next to a bus stop in Fremont. I bet it has an amazing story. Anybody know what it is?
The style and elegance of this Feature Card by the listing agent speaks VOLUMES about their professionalism!
Calling Technical Support can be frustrating. Sometimes we have to go through a series of automated questions just to get in queue for a long wait. Then, when we finally do get to speak to someone, they may not be able to help us anyway. But it's worth looking at the experience through their eyes. They face a wide range of challenges and need to have a huge amount of patience.
This clip is a little dated. But if you haven't seen it, you should. It is a hilarious take on a thankless job.
Sometimes you hear the most poignant and introspective things at commencement speeches. Speakers feel compelled to pass on bits of wisdom to the young, fresh minds ready to leap into the world and tackle society.
If you followed Steve Jobs over the years like I have, you've watched his ups and downs from a distance. He's a very private person. This commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 sheds a lot of light on his journey of life.I remember hearing about this place a year or so ago. It seems odd that I haven't heard anything about it lately, which leads me to believe it's working! Google has managed to make all information about the people who go here "disappear".
