I'm a 42 year old guy that has been around the Net for a while (since 1993 or so). I've seen a lot of things come and go, however I think social news is here to stay. I love anything on technology, design, publishing, social networking, social media, photography, videography, programming, blogging, marketing and humor. I've written two books and have plans for another soon.

Today marks another sad day for many Embarq/Sprint retirees. Just last year the company took most its retirees' life insurance back, and today many retirees just lost their company sponsored medical plans.

You know Sprint, I have searched high and low for news items about the number of actual units Sprint has sold of the iClone Samsung Instinct? So how many Instincts has Sprint sold since launch? 4 or 5? Seriously maybe 50,000 at best.
