So what if you got brain cancer, it keeps our coffers full....

"A cell phone rings in the middle of Mark VandenBrink's presentation. He tells the audience member, "Go ahead and answer it -- I'm a phone guy, so please, leave your phones on! It's better for me." VandenBrink, Motorola's director of mobile devices software, delivered a talk on his company's experiences in the Linux-powered mobile device arena at LinuxWorld Tuesday morning, outlining what the company has learned from its first generation of Linux phones and the changes Motorola plans for the next."

I hope cell phone companies don't get into the same soup as asbestos companies...

Srihari, am a first time visitor here after I found your blog's link on your email signature in Yahoo groups.

I must say that you are doing a wonderfully patient job there... and although I am done with the cycle of GRE/TOEFL/Univ selection and application, I'd be around in the groups to help.

About this post... that was funny: go ahead and keep your phone on! :)BTW, what happened to asbestos companies? Anything similar?
