somebody forwarded this to me:
10th grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She
was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She
looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step! I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone
went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn`t see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read:
I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me!
I wish I did too... I thought to my self, and I cried.

when we modify organisms genetically, we're supposed to improve them. here's the case
the prob of cats and dogs (and most pets) is that they crap
they crap anywhere
and uncontrollably
everywhere
not to mention that they can actually pee
(yes, this is what we talked about when we were eating)
so here's a challange to darwinian scientists:
try to make a dog that does not crap at all
or
a dog that craps hard solid waste, with a fancy crisp rattling sound when it hits the floor (*tttt-ding*!! or *chhe-ching*!!) and doesn't pee at all.
or
a dog that only expelsl dry waste. i.e. dehydrated/anhydrous waste. a dog that pees in powder form and craps hard marbles.

i also had a look at sharp's XL10 (released via vodaphone, UK) so it's parallel import, the screen was only 120x160, very disappointing.

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.
In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.
In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.
In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.
In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nick or Smelly Susan.
In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
In seventh grade your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had.
In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.
In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.
In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.
In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.
In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go...
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.
The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything, helped you pack up for university and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the
better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!

there's nothing crazier than launching 7 phones in early monday morning
nokia is crazy
http://www.nokia.com/press/nps_photo_archive/main/1,26336,hot_topics,00.html
http://www.nokia.com/nmic/new_releases.html
n-gage, something that looks liek a gameboy+chatpad thing
Nokia 7250 the same platform 40, with a digital camera added. The rest of the changes are purely cosmetical.
Nokia 6800 is a 5510 ideological successor. This model is aimed for active SMS users. Same platform, with addition of 4 Mb of RAM to store pictures, JAVA midlets and melodies. This means that the phone is targeted for a youth market. The hinted function of MMS to E-mail messaging will most certainly appeal even to business users. They are the second target group, and for them there are Notes, an organizer and SyncML compatibility (sync software included). This is a pricey model which should attract customers by its originality.
Nokia 5100 is derived mostly from 5210 model, since it has the same casing protecting it against splashes, dust, and bumps. Thermometer is also present. As a platform 40 was used, on which the 6610, 7210 and 6100 phones are built upon as well. In addition, this model has an automatic sound adjustment system and a sound meter first seen in Nokia 6250. High-resolution color screen, J2ME and MMS are also standard for platform 40 phones.
Nokia 8910i ¡V upgrade for an 8910 luxury phone. Color screen, software upgrade and it looks a lot like 6610 now :)
Nokia 6100, as was mentioned before, is similar to Nokia 7210 and 6610. The same platform was used, but instead of an FM radio, a Wallet function and a customizable distribution list are present. There is nothing more to be said about this model, just a redesigned model with minor software differences.
and another black and white phone (the pic isn't that attractive)
So, as we see, Nokia did not present 6 new models, strictly speaking, but rather 6 upgrades. The only truly original model is a Nokia 6800. These models will go on sale either before the end of the year, or in Q1 next year, by which we can assume, that a new generation GSM phone will be launched shortly after that in Q2. It will be based on an entirely new platform with a lot more on-board memory. Remember how Nokia 6210 collected all the good functions that were before it? Well this will be a repeat of history, since the new platform will support all the best features of the old model range. It will also have a Windows-like Recycle Bin to store all the deleted data. There will be a lot riding on that new model, since it will have a new open OS that will allow users to install their own apps and enhance the functionality of their phone according to their needs. However, these are all just speculations, we will just have to wait and see what will really happen.

New Nokia Economy [ 02:29 ]
Author: Eldar Murtazin
No doubt 4th of November will be remembered by many, since on this very day Nokia has launched 6 new mobile phones simultaneously. For some manufactures, their entire model line is smaller than that number. Now that Nokia has the biggest model line of all, let us see actually how good it is for them.
Let us start with the basics. Since there are more models ¡V sales should increase, but not linearly. Since several models have only slight differences in their functionality and the actual difference lies in design alone, we can safely assume that they are marketed for the same audience. For instance, Nokia 7210, 6610 and 6100 models are the same phone except for design features. Small functional diversity is designed to target a more precise market group. By this sort of tweaking, you can gain more sales with several models that with a single universal phone, but the production amount of each model should be smaller as well. So let us do some math (all numbers are fictional).
In a certain country, the possible market for Nokia 6610 is estimated at 1000 phones a month. A certain amount of customers decided not to go with this model since it does not have a Wallet function (let us say a 100 people). Another group does not like the design (100 more people). Therefore, we see that potentially there are more customers than was estimated. There are some more consumers, not totally satisfied with the model by other reasons, but their numbers is insignificant, or the phone cannot be revised to their needs. Thus if Nokia launches 3 models instead of just one, they can improve their market share by 200 customers a month. However, we should note, that the cost of such a launch would be higher as well (advertising, maintenance costs, etc). Nevertheless, they can improve the number of satisfied customers and thus improve the market share! The income of this sort of action would not be great, but instead a trademark value is improved, which would help future model launches.
Another interesting aspect of this approach is the depletion of competitors resources, since every smallest market share gained for Nokia, is a market share lost for competitors. This way they will lose profitability or even go into loss. Most of manufacturers are suffering losses already, by the way. In the future, when some of the competitors will be forced to leave this business, Nokia can cut the production of "unneeded" models. This would make sense, since it is hard to maintain such a production tempo and a providing a good maintenance, especially with the same amount of personnel. We figure that this "big launch" strategy might continue for a year, maybe 18 months at most.
One more point should be noted. The more models are in production the cheaper it is to produce a single phone, but the average price will rise due to reasons noted above. Therefore, the manufacturer is not getting any serious profit at all, but instead achieves a goal of elimination competition and increasing its value. Alternatively, the company might be willing to sell the mobile phone division by increasing its value, but this sounds extremely unlikely
so basically i went to take the ptuer to get it fixed. strolling along Kings road to #663 isn't fun at all when u have a 20Kg puter on yer right arm, and an address and telephone number on yer right hand, a phone in yer pocket. brought it up to the 31th floor. awe. nice view it was.
went down, picekd up by mom, got to taikoo shing for tea. than i took MTR to mongkok
primary reason: i thoguht that my palm was not working. then i realized that it was only prob with battery (inferior battery)
so i played with the GD88 which was actaully available for sell (parallel import only)
shockingly over priced::: 6600HKD!!! OMG!! overpriced by atleast 30% from recommended tax-free selling price in Moscow!! (moscow? hmm)
a really really nice phone tho

not much difference from nx70v, but once u put yer hands on it, u'll feel it.
1. A LOT HEAVIER (this might be a lil more personal
2. a better grip (better balance? cuz the nr screen is too heavy comparing to the machine itself?)
processing speed:
not much difference for "regular" usage comapring to the 66Mhz CPU. i.e. when large files are not involved, it's not siginificantly faster
camera:
the color, the tone, the sharpness is about the same as NR70V, onlt the resolution is higher. i'm a lil concerned with the lens, it's soooooo small (pin hole sized??!!) implying inevitable barrel distortion.
movie recording:
about the same quality u would expect from sony cyber-shot P series, only with lower picture quality
