Take on CNN's time machine


Sometimes you wonder what year CNN think it is.     Maybe it’s the fact they gave Larry King him 10 years after it was apparent it was a Weekend at Bernie’s situation, maybe it’s the fact that in 2011 they still have no identity or maybe it’s the fact that when they discuss current events they pull crap like this.    In an article on CNN.com about cell-phone companies being forced to warn customers when they are about to go over their monthly usage allotment they add a picture of a hand using a smart phone.   Now obviously the smart-phone has become the defacto handset for wireless customers but the phone they picture is a TREO, this is like having an article about current top 40 stars and showing a picture of Debbie Gibson.    For those who do not remember the Treo, this thing was an absolute brick.  It must have weighed 40 pounds, had a browser which I think still worked on the netscape technology and had this stumpy antenna that would always poke you right in the penis when you stuck it in your work-pant pocket.    Just thinking about that thing makes me want blast Hit Me Baby One More Time
