In response to Michael Thompson's "Pick up your phone, your tattoo is vibrating"

I recently read about this and found it very interesting.  Having a tattoo that vibrates would be pretty neat but don't you think that would get annoying after a while?  Nokia has reached a new level and market with creating tattoos that can vibrate and I personally think it's a waste of time.  I don't think that there is a big enough market for vibrating tattoos.  I've got one tattoo right now, I've thought about getting another one; but to get one that would vibrate every time my phone rang, well, I think I would be ready to cut it out of me after the second day.  In a business perspective I think that this is a waste of time and money for Nokia; this will turn out to be a "cool thing" for a few months but people will begin to get sick of their tattoos.  How do you feel about this? Would you go out and get a vibrating tattoo for your phone?

Economic Downfall

Yes I bet the only reason you're reading this is because the title caught your eye.  Well I just read an article today saying that the stock market is on its third day at a loss.  To me this comes as no surprise because of where the economy has been for the past few years.  However, according to the people who wrote the article this is a big deal because this is the "first time in some time that there has been a particularly negative job report".  This is a little surprising to me because our unemployment rate is still above 8% right now so how can they say this is the first time in some time that there has been a negative report? Last time I checked 8% is pretty negative.  The article goes on to explain how stocks in the market is continuing to decline over the past few days.  I don't think that this will change until the market starts to improve.  What do you think this article is showing? DO you think the writers are overreacting to the loss in the market or do you think it means something?
