Or you can just refer to a calender. Apple traditionally refreshes (updates) their product line every year so if that iWhatever you plan on buying has been out for 10 months already you might as well just wait.

Rant... I wish I had $5 bucks for every overweight dog and cat I saw today. It was like fat patient after fat patient. I just really believe that owners need to know the pet before buying one. I mean, they should at least have a basic understanding of what pet foods are all about. It's just that it helps to know what dogs and cats are supposed to eat, what they used to be fed, and how modern science determines what they are fed now. I mean, the thing with animal physiology is that all animals (including humans), have similar nutrient requirements despite their diversity in size, shape, ecological niche, and dietary habits. I wish a lot of my clients understood this. It would make my job a lot easier, and it would save them a lot of time and money.

....End rant

Eating grapefruit and playing on the Word Association thread = priceless.

Speaking of...Bobby Christina gets everything. Just think of how much more it would have been worth if some of Whitney's biggest hits weren't pretty much covers of other recordings

Something else to consider that one of my co workers brought up. Both of us wonder when the Sparkle remake comes out, will it get a spike (regardless of how the movie is overall) due simply to her death.

I think a similar question was raised with Heath Ledger's death and Batman Returns being as successful as it was.

Maybe. I've got an iPad2, and I didn't see anything in the release that made me salivate or have regrets. This sounds more like some tweaking than like a truly superior product. I mean, I have no problems with the picture quality or the wifi speed now.

I think it definitely will spike interest. I may/may not have gone to see it otherwise, but with it now being WH's last performance, it's sorta must-see for those who appreciated her talent.

Apple wouldn't be apple if they came out with a 'superior' product.
