ANADA'S Research In Motion has fired back at Apple's Steve Jobs over his claims that the iPhone is outselling the Blackberry and that 7-inch tablet computers have no future.
"We think many customers are getting tired of being told what to think by Apple," RIM co-chief executive Jim Balsillie said in a blog post responding to the comments made on Monday by Jobs.
Jobs, speaking to financial analysts during a conference call, dismissed 7-inch tablets as "tweeners" saying they were "too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad".
He suggested makers of 7-inch screens "include sandpaper so users can sand down their fingers" to be able to tap onscreen keys.

When it comes to RIM / Jobs, 7” is a good start. Usually, only 8” or 9” will satisfy thoroughly.

Eek for the X-Rated headline, but only if your mind runs toward that sort of thing. [cough]
Good thing too! Plenty of ROFL material here.

Absolutely no doubt about it.
Either that, or he’s been living in a nunnery all his life.

According to Cartman's mom, the act in question has nothing to do with any body part having length.

Hubby and I went into a coffee shop in Marina del Rey, CA, when we were dating (mid-1970’s). My high-school heartthrob walked up to take our order, and we started talking. I was surprised to see him because my last knowledge of him was as a seminarian, which broke my heart when I was 16. It turned out that he got tossed for getting a nun pregnant.
So watch out for those nuns, Slings.

How about the ESPN headline in the week leading to the Arkansas-South Carolina game.
“Nutt Replaces Johnson With Dick Against Cocks.”
Houston Nutt-The Arkansas coach at the time
Robert Johnson and Casey Dick were the Arkansas QBs
