Came across this statement in the CIA World Factbook against the entry United States (background section):
"The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology."

Also, all the way at the bottom of the page it says: "This page was last updated on 19 March 2009".

Something is not quite right, or perhaps its just one of those rare instances where the CIA has its facts wrong. Just saying.

OK, so we’ve all heard that Obama is a technology “addict” and avid Blackberry user. One of those addictions was, obviously, his need to be connected on the go.  Before assuming Office, it was doubtful whether Obama would be able to continue using his Blackberry model due to obvious personal and national security reasons. Well now, finally it looks like he will be able to feed his addiction on a Sectera Edge device.

The photo and link explain everything, although there’s just one thing I found odd… no GPS??

Update: So as it turns out, Obama is using a Blackberry after all. Thanks, Engadget!

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of a car the President of the most powerful nation in the world rides in, well, look no further than the picture below.
