Below is a video of my 2 year old son dressed up in his Retro Robot Custom which has 2 iPhones - one to scroll "Boo" and the other to scroll the Binary version of "Boo". And no he is likely not going to date until after high school.

Steve came on the call to give a wrap up and talk about Apple selling more Smartphones than RIM sold in their last quarter. 275,000 iOS devices per day on average per the last 30 days. He also went into details on the Android fragmentation issues. Steve slammed the 7" screen and comments about 7" display is just 45% as large as the iPad screen. Did he listen to the last Today in iOS? He says the 10" size is optimal - not the 7" size. Called them tweeners. Called 7" Tablets DOA.
>250,000 Apple TV's 2 have been sold to date.

The WSJ is back to their link bait ways with another Verizon iPhone rumor. I will not even call it a story. The latest rumor they posted is here (Yeah link bait worked again for them). What I think is most frustrating about this latest rumor is that it is just a rehash of a rumor the same "reporters" spread back in the spring. While the internets never forget it does appear WSJ editors do.
But the real reason to call total BS on this is the lack of any real sources. That is unless you count "people familiar with the matter" or "these people" or "people briefed on the phone" or "One person familiar" or "people briefed on the matter" and "a person familiar with the matter". With harding hitting fact check journalism like that the WSJ must be proud to have their name linked to this BS.
Sorry for the tone and temper of this post - but come on WSJ it was bad enough the first time you brought up this rumor but to completely rehash it and just update the dates is plain lazy.
