War in Georgia

Quote:

     The Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin accused the United States in cynicism and unwillingness to reach a peaceful settlement in the conflict zone. "It is a pity that some of our partners do not help us, and trying to obstruct. I have in mind and move the United States for its military-transport aircraft of the Georgian military contingent from Iraq actually in the conflict zone" - Putin said at the podium government. According to him, this "movement in reverse from the settlement of the situation."

     "Cynicism is not surprising that policy, surprising scope of this cynicism. Surprising ability to issue white for black, black for white, the ability to deftly expose the aggressor as victims of aggression. Saddam Hussein, as you know, because he has destroyed several Shiite villages, it is necessary was, of course, hang. But the current Georgian rulers, who overnight just £ 10 from the face of the Earth Ossetian villages which tanks giving children and the elderly, who were burned alive in the barns of innocent civilians - these figures are, of course, must be brought under protection " -- Putin said.

All animals are equal, but some are equal.
Marked bold from BBC removed, it is minor stuff.

Almost within month (well, plus two days) in our proud Latvia must begin officially sold iPhone. But still no information.

By totally incomprehensible reason, in my opinion, LMT refuses to share whatever it was not the details, citing commercial secrets. What is the trade secret that potential buyers will know when they can buy this phone and at what price? Something is certainly not all seem so smoothly and well, as stated.

Probably not yet developed a mechanism to activate the mind and tying the phone. Or is it simply not brought to our country an acceptable number of phones, and the party is expected this summer, but when exactly no one yet knows no. Or simply have not yet decided on what terms they will sell.


I can even think of another obyasnenie trade secrets - not dremlyut competitors. And too soon the remaining mobile operators agree with Apple to sell ifonov its customers. What again in the near future will be announcements. And it is in no hurry to call LMT price, rightly fearing that if competitors offer their clients more profitable and interesting proposals.

And even ozvuchenny comment in the news, if we adopt it (in terms of prices) is close to the truth, claiming that the phone will be offered for 70 lats (140 dollars) and of course Mr. contract for two years. Only remembering various other promotional offers from LMT, I assume that under this contract, within two years to the amount accounts will be more pluses 20-30 lats per month. But if this is not the case, then I still vryadli imagine going to buy iPhone - wife does not appreciate if I rasstanus with such a sum of money for "ordinary toys." While certainly would like to, yes. But hopefully it will do the same Bite sell iPhone (how did they relate to Vodafone).

And I have yet odnoa spoon tar personal assumption. And if so many people in Latvia pozaryatsya on iPhone? In the circle of those people with whom I talk, only one person waiting when iPhone will sell. The rest do not even have heard about this phone, and when I try to tell about it, bored with that kind of say anything interesting for them at this phone does not. And indeed I think for most of the remaining inhabitants of our country is more than true.

We even iPod s pro who knows little. And among those who has heard anything about this player, a lot of different misconceptions have nothing to do with reality. This is sad picture.

And now remained not so much (hopefully) wait to see how it all will be in reality. Indeed, until the end of the summer has left little time.
