Random Thoughts
You have to love the French people, the folks who bring us French Revolution, French kiss, French fries, the guillotine, and a strong sense of self entitlement. The French workers probably spend 60 percent of their time protesting work related exploitation (real or imagined), 39 percent of their time on paid vacation and the remaining 1% actually working, only if you include the 2-hour lunch.
Also, you can't fuck with the French. Apple has had great success selling locked iPhones in the US and elsewhere in Europe. But no, the French won't take any crap, not from President Sarkozy, and certainly not from Jobs. The French essentially tells Jobs to shove his locked iPhones up his arse .... So there are unlocked iPhones in addition to locked ones selling in France.
In another Apple iPhone related news, just when Apple board member Al Gore won Nobel Peace prize on his contribution to environmental issues, Greenpeace came up to spoil the party by alleging Apple selling poisonous iPhones. Personally I think facts are facts, if the iPhone does carry toxic substances I don't see why the fanboys have to defend Apple, maybe that's why they are called fanboys in the first place. It's good that we have Greenpeace, the perennial environmental complainer, to every now and then spoil the party. At least you are made more aware of the facts to make an informed decision. Say if you think your kids are dumb already and so it doesn't matter whether the toys are coated with lead paints, you are still going to buy them anyway.
