It makes you wonder what sort of testing process the name goes through, if many people's (mine included) first thought is feminine hygiene products. or if they do not care?

They were saying on the news this morning that the iPhone will no longer be just AT&T. Any word on that?

They've been saying that for three years. And I have been WAITING. Because AT&T sucks and I want my Verizon back!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
