Yeah, Right...

Here are two "I'll believe it when I see it stories" for a Tuesday morning:

First, apparently President Obama wants to open up the coastlines of this country to offshore oil drilling. While I would applaud this is the man any integrity, he doesn't...I simply don't believe anything he says anymore. Even if offshore drilling is "allowed" there will most likely be such severe restrictions that it would not actually get done (that happened a couple years ago) or he will allow it and Congress will pass legislation to ban it, so he can take cover saying that he supported it while knowing that it would never happen.

Second, looks like the iPhone will finally come to Verizon, at least if you actually believe the latest batch of rumors floating around. The problem is we've been hearing these rumors since practically day one of iPhone availability, and they have constantly proven false. What is any different now? The main thing that is different now is that Verizon is ever-closer to adopting the LTE standard and rolling that out nationwide, a process that will not happen overnight. So it seems foolish to believe that Apple would take a lot of time and money to develop a CDMA iPhone that works with today's Verizon network, but will not work (at least not well) with the network they will be installing over the next couple years. It could happen, though...I could be wrong! If they release a Verizon iPhone this year, I'll spend about a week kicking myself for buying a Droid, then get back to my life...or maybe not...so far the Droid does about 90 percent of what I would use an iPhone for and it does a few thing better, so maybe this choice isn't so bad.
