I really want to read about the creepy doll in the photo above. Really.

So, here is the news from major newspapers, but as kids we can see that future because we are into it already.

People used to think the war between Coke and Pepsi was still a good test. That is funny. Because when u go to a restaurant or drive thru and ask for a Coke they always say, “Is Pepsi okay?” like they are sorry they don’t have the good choice in drinks: Coke.
So, Microsoft will start saying, “Is [ ... ]
