Who’s the Fairest of them all? - August 14th, 2009

Let’s face it, life isn’t always fair.
Losing the 4th grade spelling bee because the word “kayak” was drawn? Dealing with acne years after you’ve been old enough to legally drink. Not cool.

Apple released its latest model of the iPhone- the iPhone 3GS. The iPhones 3rd incarnation.
