...software market. Microsoft's problem is that there is no reason to believe that it, or any other company, will be able to launch a phone that will break the chokehold that the Blackberry and iPhone have. Samsung has tried with its Instinct model, and Google (GOOG) provides its Android software for a handset sold by T-Mobile, the No.4 U.S. carrier. The Samsung and Google-powered products have barely made a dent in the market share of the Apple and Blackberry products...

No, don’t touch your uncle’s eggnog. I’m going to give you an iPhone...
...Talking Heads are the most human of mutant groups.” Give it a few tweaks, and the sentence is relevant to 2008: for these are robot times, and Kanye West is the most human of robot artists.It’s excusable to mistake West for an android. After all, his jaw’s half metal since that fateful car crash, and he got nanoimplants (or whatever) in the video for “Stronger.” And yeah, each track on his bold new effort, “808s and Heartbreaks,” gets...
