The U.S. Bans iPhone Imports: Big Deal or No? – Businessweek
Got prompted for the new Windows Phone 8 update on my HTC 8x about half an hour ago and figured I’d blog about it since I haven’t gotten many screenshots from both my phone’s built-in screenshot abilities (Start+Camera button) and taken from another external camera from outside the phone of the physical screen, since [I don’t think] I can’t take screenshots while it’s booting up.

Others, offer us a detour down a long road of catchy boards to leave us probably saying to someone at some point “Well I don’t recall what I was doing when I clicked that link, Mr. “Nosey”!!!” (sarcasm)
So let’s just talk about the good shall we. On second thought, let’s at least start with the good and try to minimize the bad and the ugly. That sounds better. Let us go with that.
Okay, now let’s get to the bad, shall we. C’mon, you know you want it.
