Sounds like good advice. Las Vegas' loss is probably the gambler's/tourist's local economy's gain. I guess party politics won't let even simple advice go unpunished.

Local economy's gain? What about the people that work in the casinos? The people that work in the hotels? The people that work in the restaraunts? The people that work in the souvenier shops?

Aside from playing a few slot machines on a trip to Foxwoods once, I'm not much of a gambler. But just because it's not an activity I fully endorse, does not mean I should dictate how other people spend their time and money. (Yeah, 'dictate' is probably too strong of a word).

What about the people who work in Las Vegas' casinos, hotels and restaurants? Doesn't matter to me. If they were in my hometown, then I might care more. I'd rather support the people that work in my local grocery store, gas station or restaurant when times are tough. Call me crazy, but I'd rather visit local attractions and keep my money circulating somewhat close to home. Heck, if there was a casino here I might even support that (even though I don't gamble). The point isn't about gambling. It's about where you spend your money.

How dare he recommend saving money for raising education costs instead of blowing it on binge drinking and gambling?

Why is it when Bill Cosby made a similar comment, he was lambasted?

Probably for the same reason Michelle Obama was attacked for advising kids to eat healty.

Coverage depends on where you live. I don't have any problems with Tmobile in the Atlanta area. Their customer service used to be amazing, but after the AT&T announcement you can really tell morale and service has taken a hit. If you want a phone with a sim card though (like me) ten go with Tmobile.

I'm waiting for the Nokia 800 to come out before I get one.Come on Nokia! Hurry it up! I can'twait much longer. If I were you though, I wouldn't get and HD7. The screen is the worst of all the Windows phones, color wise. I was actually surprised at how much I liked the Dell Venue though.

Does anyone have any information on why those 1000 Palestinians were arrested? I haven't seen anything about it.

It was just confirmed that Steve Jobs has died. He will be missed. Whether or not you like Apple, he was admittedly a brilliant business man. Rest in Peace.

Steve Jobs: February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20111005-716057.html

Steve Jobs' family today made the following statement regarding his death:

Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.

In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve's illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.

We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.

http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/05/statement-by-apples-board-of-directors/

Steven Paul Jobs was 56. He died from advanced pancreatic cancer that he had been publicly fighting since 2004. He, along with co-founder Steve Wozniak, built one of the most "commercially successful" personal computers and founded Pixar animation studios.

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

You can share remembrances with Apple atrememberingsteve@apple.com.

Do not therefore consider this life as an object of any moment. Look back on the immense gulf of time already past; and forwards, to that infinite duration yet to come, and you will find how trifling the difference is between a life of three days and of three ages.

Let us then employ properly this moment of time allotted us by fate, and lave the world contentedly; like a ripe olive dropping from its stalk, speaking well of the soil that produced it, and of the tree that bore it.

-Marcus Aurelius,Meditations

Adam Sandler, definitely. Jar Jar was close, but Adam Sandler has the the potential to make more implements of torture (aka his "movies").
