She has been arguing with her filthy bastard boyfriend for days now just because of him, buying three lemons instead of twelve intended to be used as a table centerpiece for the family dinner tonight; just a scene from the movie “The Break-up”. That lemon issue brought world war III to the couple’s condominium but they managed to live together even after they decided to live on separate ways; all these headaches, pain and tears only ended up just as the male character Gary decided to open his feelings and thoughts but later finds his girlfriend already wanting to give up. It was not a happy ending for both but it truly brought a huge gift; a rest for the heart, and peace for the mind.

The National Association of Broadcasters are pushing for mandatory FM tuner implants in mobile phones. In a CNET interview with NAB executive vice president Dennis Wharton states that the proposal is still being voted upon and that NAB is laying out a detailed proposal for the Congress. The workings are still being put on place and since there is a resistance from the hand mobile manufacturers, the advancement of the proposal is predictably a slow one. Wharton mentions that they are having discussions with phone makers for Fm tuner implants but “there’s been not much progress”. Word of advice…don’t imply that antennae length issues is not your problem because it won’t help your cause. Phone manufacturers make their profit by producing phones that are marketable and a phone that looks like a rectangular bug missing one of its sensory organs is not marketable.
The EVP said that the public will benefit from free and local radio services.That is true but who chooses FM radio broadcasts if the apps on their phone provides more alluring forms of entertainment? so, since the proposal has yet to be finalized, might we suggest that instead of steam rolling the phone industry to bend to NAB’s will, the airwaves will be much more peaceful if FM tuner in phones be made optional instead.
