Schutze Defends Dart
Sometimes I think these passengers get confused in their heads or something. They seem to think they own DART. Let me tell them something right here: You passengers don't own squat. Nobody on the DART board has to ask you for your measly little vote to stay in office. DART doesn't have elections. DART belongs to DART. The purpose of DART is DART. You passengers need to pay your sales taxes, pay your fares, shut the hell up and do what DART tells you to do.

Prediction: iPod Touch Going Away
I usually avoid making predictions about what Apple is going to do, but when this one came to me on my way to work this morning, I felt it was too good to ignore.
Here's what we know:
- The iPhone 5 launch was delayed until the fall when the iPod event usually takes place.
- iOS 5 will also be released then
- iOS 5 has a feature called iMessages that replacetes the text message system for all iOS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad).
- iOS 4 introduced FaceTime, a video calling app that works with all iOS devices
My prediction is that in this fall's announcement, the iPod Touch will be going away, and that it will be replaced by the iPhone Wi-Fi.
Most people refer to the iPod Touch as an "iPhone without the phone." With FaceTime and iMessages, the iPod Touch essentially becomes a phone. The only difference is that it can only connect to a Wi-Fi network, not a 3G network. The iPad line is currently split into Wi-Fi and 3G, it makes sense to me to do the same with the iPhone.
I'm probably wrong, and I'm ok with that. You have to admit, this sounds plausible, doesn't it?
