SAN FRANCISCO, California -- Apple unveiled its long-awaited cell phone Tuesday, to the delight of the world's wealthiest one percent and America's stupidest 50 percent.
"Until now, people had no way to listen to music, check their e-mail or take photographs," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said at the unveiling ceremony. "I mean, can you imagine what it would be like to speak to family members over long-distance? Or capture images from life? Trust me, this has never been done before."

Boy, is this a blast from the past! I'm going to have to get myself this boxed set of DVDs. Sometimes people think I'm nuts when I mention "Hootenanny," but music shows were a huge part of my childhood. Others that I'd like to have on DVD (and this is only a partial list):
- Hullabaloo
- Mitch Miller
- Laurence Welk
- Ed Ames
- Liberace
- Sonny & Cher
- Donny & Marie
- The Monkees
- American Bandstand
- Frankie Yankovic
- Dinah Shore
- Ed Sullivan
