Crunch Gear has an absolutely ridiculous article on the confirmed–according to them–Zune Phone. It sounds like a bunch of bs to me. My favorite part of the article is this lovely disclaimer.

This is a lot of information, and the reader should keep in mind that any part, if not all of it could change, as from what we know, the Zune group is just being brought up to speed on the specifics of the device.

So everything in your article might be completely wrong? As far as I know that is called an unsubstantiated rumour.

Rob Enderle has once again shown his stupidity in “Companies Should Prepare for the iPhone," a story written by Poonam Khanna for IT Business.

He has been taken to task by both John Gruber of Daring Fireball and by El Macalopo of the The Macalope. The one point that neither Gruber or the Macalope address is an obvious one, which is perhaps why they don’t bother addressiing it.

How the hell does Enderle have any clue as to how secure or insecure the iPhone is? It won’t even be released for another 115 days and yet Enderle has already written it off as being too insecure to use with corporate networks. So, tell us Rob, what’s your secret for fortelling the future?

Bill Gates, sir, you are a damned liar!

I don’t have a problem ending the war in Iraq. In fact I think ending the war in Iraq is the very goal that our elected representatives–including the President–should be striving to attain. This, however, does not mean that I think that the us should immediately pack up and leave Iraq. This is what the majority of the Democrats, the liberals, the media, and even certain Republicans are suggesting the us should do. The Democrats are quick to criticize President Bush’s plan to increase the number of troops in Iraq in an attempt to end the war–which may not be the best of plans–but I have yet to hear the Democrats’ alternative plan for successfully ending the war in Iraq. And whether you like it or not successfully is the key word here. Ending the war is not enough. Bringing our soldiers home is not enough. Overthrowing and bringing a tyrant, dictator, and mass murderer to justice is not enough. Not if we leave Iraq in a state of unrest and instabillity–to do so would practically be an open invitation to Iran and Syria to invade. Terrorists would also love to be able to set up shop in Iraq permanently. We cannot allow this to happen. Withdrawing from Iraq before it is stable and secure can only result in a destabilized Middle East and and a severe blow to American national security not to mention the added devastation and destruction it would surely cause in Iraq.

Success is our only option.
