"I will say that corporate sponsors are a bit later than usual coming to the party," says Houston Rockets CEO Tad Brown. "That's the one area where we've had to be more attentive and where we've seen delays in funding...
...puckish dark-humored whimsicality. Collectively, these elements are fitting for a New Pornographers’ video. A.C.

A tad heavier and narrower than the iPhone, the G1 features a petite keyboard, a handy trackball and a higher-resolution, three-megapixel camera (the iPhone has a two-megapixel camera). Along with its Google-designed browser, the G1 features a more powerful version of Google Maps with a built-in compass and 360-degree photos. And Gmail users get instantly notified when new messages arrive...
