Legos, Jack Thompson, Verizon, iPhone 2.0 and Honda Civic #1

Lego Gallery - Click the links for lots of pictures of peopling going hot wild with Legos. Finding Nemo is driving several images but some are more recent such as the Lego iPhone pic on the left.

10 Years Disbarment for Jack Thompson - At least that is what will occur if the Florida Bar has its way. Jack Thompson has been almost fanatical in his hatred of the Grand Theft Auto series and he hasn't let ethics slow his quest to make the decision for us on what games we should be playing. It’s good to see a little comeuppance head his way.

Verizon Buys Alltel - To the tune of $28 billion. Good news or bad news depending on your perspective. I don't use either provider but I seriously doubt this is a win for consumers. The deal should go through by end of the year after it goes through the regulatory rubber stamping process.

iPhone 2.0 Rumors - Monday is coming and the rumors are out on what the next iteration of the iPhone will do. G3 leads the list, larger thicker phone is another. Added to that is a smaller phone, an iPhone nano, subsidizing plans and news that AT&T is now out of stock on the phones.

Honda Civic Best Selling Vehicle In US - In a sign that the times are changing thanks to oil prices, the Honda Civic is now the best selling vehicle in the United States. I get 32 miles on the gallon and that played a major part in my reason for making the model my first brand new car last year. The rise to the top is historic because it ended Ford's 15 year streak at the top for its F-Series (now #5). In fact it’s clear that miles per gallon is the driving force for consumers now with Toyota Corolla, Camry and Honda Accord rounding out the top four slots.
