Wow...that sounds steep. I use my iPod touch to read books and it works really well. My only complaint is that it is a bit small, so I have to flip pages often. As for colour, yes it makes a difference! The touch can also store quite a bit with…

This is a sad and unfortunate incident. It's too difficult for anyone to surmise whether it was intentional or just an accident, but perhaps the police played it right in assuming it was innocent but charged the boys nonetheless. At least it will make them think a lot more the…

I'm just assuming that the GPS devices that are being suggested are for released convicts and not a replacement for prison terms.

I can't imagine that the GPS devices would be all that useful for crime prevention but I imagine that should a crime happen it would definitely aid in…

This makes sense. She is a fashion stylist so she must remain stylish. Would you use her services if she looked otherwise?

It the same thing as a fitness expert who eats health and is in proper shape.

I don't think that the student was an employee of the store. It just states in the article that he was in the store at the time, which makes it even more odd that he would chase after the man. However, he, like many other people, probably felt a strong…
