A Microsoft executive states:
It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that…
Oh really?
Like MG says, I have a feeling that you’re going to regret that statement. How’s that Windows Mobile business going?

This video over at WCCO has one of my favorite admissions by a politician ever – that as one of the strongest opponents against the Minnesota Permit to Carry law that her strongly stated facts about how firearms crime would go up were totally wrong.
All in all, a very balanced story that stuck to the facts – not at all what I expect from our local media here in the Twin Cities.
The Boston Globe highlights the life and death of a priest who gave us an amazing lesson on how to die with grace:
“Under my promise to always tell you the truth, I have discontinued chemo and other treatments,’’ he wrote, adding, “I’m beyond the place where chemo can help me. I have come home to die. I am near the end of my journey.’’
Father Field, who had stood in the pulpit month after month, performing pastoral duties through intense pain, sat in a wheelchair on June 27. Speaking into a microphone, he asked if anyone had questions. There were none. Instead, the parishioners took their turn to stand. They began to clap, their applause echoing through the church for minute after minute, as if to prolong his time with them.
A masterful teacher who deftly discovered new insights in familiar Gospel passages, Father Field spent the past two years using his own life as a lesson in how to let life shine in the shadow of death. “I am in a place of great peace and gratitude,’’ he wrote. Father Field, who lived in the church rectory, died Monday. He was 59 and had celebrated his 20th anniversary as an ordained priest last month.
His journey reminds me the life and death of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago…
