Opinion: Is 'i'-Contact Killing Eye Contact?
By not in system - AOL News(Dec. 20) -- 'Tis the season to experience family reunions, engagement announcements, friendship renewals and feud settlements. All of which requires one essential behavior: eye contact. But this holiday season, don't count on that. Today, eye contact is to our social kingdom what giant pandas are to the animal kingdom – endangered. Instead of real eye contact, we are becoming cozy with the illusion of "i"-contact. Just take a look at the most popular holiday gifts and you will understand: iPads and iPhones. During my last trip to Towson Mall in suburban Maryland, I watched as almost ...

By David Moye - AOL News
(Dec. 8) -- Belching and the alphabet are two things kids learn to enjoy at a young age.

Will Apple's Black Friday Sale Live Up to the Hype?
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Nov. 23) -- This sale is going to be bigger than the Beatles.

Apple Says iPhone Sales Hot, iPad Numbers Not
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 18)--Isaac Newton may have come up with his theory of gravity after watching an apple fall from a tree, but Apple computer's profits shows no sign of plunging anytime soon.

The company saw record sales in iMac computers, iPhones (with a whopping 14.1 million units sold), and iPads (4.2 million sold). The one slightly dark cloud ...
Chin Up, Gen X'ers: Obama's Right There With You
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyWhen I offered unsolicited advice, guys, I didn't mean to crush your Generation X dreams and hearts like a cigarette butt. If you don't want to, you don't have to grow up. I'm 14 years old at heart and still think I'm going to live happily ever after with Simon Le Bon. (Although I did get into a wicked argument with him circa 1998 after a Duran Duran concert, and he broke my heart into tiny pieces when he acted so rudely. But that's another story.) Punk Peter Pans, stay young. Keep playing video games. It's OK to still long for Asteroids. Get giddy about the new Tron movie. Please believe ...
Apple's iPhone Restrictions Could Bring Antitrust Investigation
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyFederal regulators are considering whether to investigate Apple for antitrust activities after receiving complaints that the computer giant is restricting competition by not allowing outside developers to create applications for its dominant iPhone operating system.

The process is at an early stage and any resulting probe wouldn't necessarily lead to action. A potential investigation would consider Apple's recent changes to its software ...
On Michelle Obama's iPod: Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Sting and More
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyWhat's on First Lady Michelle Obama's iPod? Here's the latest. It was "take your child to work" day at the White House on Thursday and Mrs. Obama met with children of Obama administration staffers for a 43-minute session. She was accompanied by Bo, the family's Portuguese water dog, who was so playful that at one point Mrs. Obama excused him from the room, promising he would return at the end. The kids asked a lot of questions, including one about what kind of music the first lady likes. "Oh, that's a good question. I like all kinds of music," she said. "All right, so this is what's in ...
Enough With Lament: Why This Decade Should Be Celebrated
By Andrew Clark - Politics DailyNow that the eve of a new decade is upon us, the pundits are looking back at the 2000s, and they're judging it a train wreck. Time Magazine heralded the goodbye to the Decade From Hell, calling it the "most dispiriting and disillusioning decade Americans have lived through in the post-World War II era," going so far as to create a slide show titled "The 10 Worst Things About the Worst Decade Ever." In a clever wordplay, the Washington Post lamented that the decade should not be called the Aughts, but the "Oughts," in memoriam of all the achievements that "ought" to have happened in the 2000s, ...
