1. Comment - Is the Palm Pre still coming to Verizon?

   Wow, OK, how about the other equally common interpretation of a phrase like that with "like" in it, as in to list something out?
   
   For example, saying "we'll be seeing new flavors like vanilla and chocolate" doesn't necessarily mean there'll be flavors similar to vanilla and/or chocolate, it often means you will be seeing the vanilla and chocolate flavors, since "like" is used more of a word to list something, as if you were saying "we'll be seeing new flavors: vanilla and chocolate".
   
   So, to say "you will see devices like the Palm Pre and the cousin" can generally more likely be taken as them listing out a few devices and can very well be taken in written form as if it said "you will see devices: the Palm Pre and the cousin".

5. Comment - Google axes its Lively metaverse experiment

   Got to love the generally widespread hypocrisy--can't blame Google for trying something and not having it work out, but sure can blame Yahoo! for doing something along the same lines: http://www.betanews.com/..._a_good_time/1225836887.
