THE GOOD NEWS;

WASHINGTON – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she will not run for president, leaving little doubt that the eventual Republican nominee will come from the current field of contenders.

THE BAD NEWS;

SAN FRANCISCO – Steve Jobs, the innovative co-founder of Apple who transformed personal use of technology as well as entire industries with products such as the iPod, iPad, iPhone, Macintosh computer and the iTunes music store, has died.

Steve was a genius, and I don’t care what you think about Microsoft, I have worked in both operating systems as a graphic designer for 18 years and I wouldn’t trade my MAC for twenty PC’s. Besides the operating system, they are truly a better made product. And if I can give Steve credit for anything, it is that quality about a MAC that I have loved the most.
