| | Looks like Cerberus may buy Blackberry Cerberus, the company that makes money from buying gov't bailout companies and selling later, looks like they are checking out Blackberry. I wonder if Canada will be doing incentives for the buyer of Blackberry?
»apnews.myway.com//article/201310···5G1.html
Private equity firm Cerberus is interested in taking a look at BlackBerry's books as a prelude to a possible bid for the troubled smartphone company.
BlackBerry announced last month that Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. signed a letter of intent that "contemplates" buying BlackBerry for $9 a share, or $4.7 billion. Fairfax, BlackBerry's largest shareholder, is trying to attract other investors. It's unclear whether Cerebus is seeking to join Fairfax's deal or bid for Blackberry on its own.
Cerberus has a history of investing in troubled companies, including Chrysler and Air Canada.

| | | Re: Looks like Cerberus may buy Blackberry I can't believe BlackBerry never had a group secretly working on an Android or Windows phone as soon as their market share started tumbling. There's still a lack of good smartphones with keypads, they could at least have filled that niche and had 1 profitable business going. | |

| | Meet Ms Siri, the voice of Apple's Siri app A Georgia woman has identified herself as the voice of Apple's Siri service. She is a voice actress. I don't think Apple will like her doing that in an interview.
»www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425226,00.asp
The voice of Apple's voice assistant Siri has been revealed as Georgia-based voiceover actress Susan Bennett.
Bennett made the revelation to CNN, eight years after lending her voice to a 2005 project for ScanSoft, which eventually acquired Nuance, the company that powers Siri.
Bennett decided to reveal that she was actually the voice of Siri. She'd spoken with CNN's Jessica Ravitz a few months ago for a separate story on the voices that power announcements at airports, at which time Ravitz had quite by accident asked if Bennett was the voice of Siri. Bennett was coy at the time, but recently came back to Ravitz to reveal her secret.
With iOS 7, users now have the option to select a male version of Siri, so Bennett's voice might not be as omnipresent as it once was. Her voice does not power Siri around the globe; in Nov. 2011, the voice of Siri in the U.K. was revealed, while the Australian Siri stepped forward earlier this year.

Netcong, NJ | Baseball. Baseball all day every day, all on cable though for the first round of the playoffs; I found channels I didn't even know I had. 
Baseball is pirate proof as it is live, tomorrow it will be yesterday's news and they will be playing a new game.
P.S. thank all of you movie buffs for paying for the MLB network; Dolan gave in.  | |

kudos:1 | Funny you should mention that... I was just talking to a friend at work (he is a sports fan, I am not) and asking him if the game was available the next day without all the commercials and time-outs and things that make a 1 hr. game into a 4 hr sleep fest if he would watch that instead.
He said he didn't think anyone would want that. | |

Not really. There are plenty of sites out there that stream pirated live sports. It's far from the best audio/video quality, and can be a pain in the ass, but it works. I only stream pirated sports on a rare occasion. Like every December when my Bills are blacked out locally, because no one wants to freeze their ass off watching a lousy non playoff contender at the Stadium. I also stream the occasional UFC fight.

kudos:1 | I like the red one best... the blue would look good except that pose looks like it is looking for some action.
Are the other three also out of production? If not, you could probably get all three for the price of the red one! | |
