Economist Notices That The US Is Getting Buried Under Costly, Useless Over-Regulation.

Apple's First iPhone Was Made in 1983 [PICS] The first iPhone was actually dreamed up in 1983. Forget that silly old touchscreen, this iPhone was a landline with full, all-white handset and a built-in screen controlled with a stylus.
