Pio and you other upper echelon execs, do you utilize the different color/category feature in outlook for your calendar? I currently have a 5 different colors (family, personal, work, FD, school) but I think I may be overdoing it. But it does look nice. lol

Is Mrs. T up to speed with technology? (serious question and not meant as an insult) My sister in law isn't and she would always ask me questions about the her android phone, so I decided to give her an iPhone when it came out for Verizon and she no longer bugs me.
Is there a reason why she is against the iPhone?

I don't like to text but I am able to text without looking now. The keyboard isn't that bad, but if your are composing emails I can see how it can be a pain.

The time he was getting was within the range Apple promises users and thus should have been expected. From my experience, Apple's one of the more honest companies out there when it comes to promising battery life. They have even been known to undersell this, on occasion.
like you said earlier, their marketing helps them almost as much as it hurts them. I still hear people claim their macs are immune to viruses.

I need to try that app out. I'll drink Sbux, but usually go to some of the better alternatives around here. Seems like a cool idea and hopefully more places will start using the software.
I want to hear some reports of people using the United app with Passbook. Having it pull out your ticket when you arrive at the airport seems like it would be useful.
What happens when flying with more than one person and you want to pull up their e-ticket? I know the delta app lets me do this, how about passbook. (I use this when traveling with my mother or niece/nephew)
