Odd, then, that the Sprint commercial featuring the Centro is featuring
primarily people working, not playing.

Why would I need IM on a mobile device?  If I'm away from my computer
and I have my cellphone with me, just call me.

"The Superior Person's Book Of Words", by Peter Bowler: BOWLER: In
cricket, one who, on blundering badly, gets another chance - in
contradistinction to a batsman, who does not.  Natural blunderers
should therefore always be bowlers.  'Slow bowler': one who opens the
bowling for an English cricket team.  'Fast bowler': one who bowls to
an Australian opening batsman.  It will at once be apparent from the
preceding definitions that one man may be both a slow and a fast bowler
at the same time.  Do not allow this to puzzle you - the game has its
own metaphysics as well as its ritual and its regalia.
