Not sure if Apple has invented the iSlam yet, but when they do, I bet there will be an American Crusade against it! Sincerely, iSaac |

Very timely. There already has been an iSlam, from the Blackberry-in-Chief. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/10/obama-warns-grads-twitter-ipad-peril/ I'm sure the pro-Apple forces are already forming a counter-attack. Edited by Kincaid, May 10 2010, 12:30 PM.

All that link gave me was a logo saying 'Fox - fair and balanced' and then the words 'no content item selected'. I guess even a stopped clock is right once a day.

I'm sure that if they did release an iSlam, there'd be an immediate fatwa issued somewhere. |

I love the fair, balanced language that Fox uses to report this story. |

It's a great idea, though, no? PS: [Emily Latella]Never Mind[/Emily Latella] when I read your first post, I thought you were making fun of *my* typo. Edited by kathyk, May 10 2010, 03:49 PM.

I agree it's not straight reportage, but what exactly isn't fair and balanced? |

Declares war on technology? I think what Fox is trying to do is imply that as a Blackberry user Obama is anti-Apple, since he 'singled them out' along with Sony and Microsoft. Does it count as being singled out if two other companies are also named? It's just typical tabloid fair. |

I think what President Obama said has some truth to it. There is a tendency for people to hide behind technology. I am not super old, but grew and spent a lot of time in places without access to the latest technology and there is some positives to it. I was speaking with a friend about texting, etc., and she felt more comfortable in many instances sending someone a text rather than speaking with them face on face. For example, why send 20 texts when you could do the same thing in a 15 second phone call. While I am on a roll, the following was sent to me (I think it originally was on one of the news channels.
