there you go. my point exactly. we also had sort of a brainstorming session. i called a people people over to my desk and we came up with it. the perfect thing i was looking through some of them. a vacation. we say we re going to take a break. all of a sudden we re checking the crackberry. what is that about our society? it s hard to put down because you ve got those coming from work. you ve got all these things you need to keep track of. it s really a great technology and a great thing to have, but i think the point here is that there s two sides to that and sometimes you do need to put it down. one of the things you say the internet has the ability to kill is the ability to concentrate. you would think it would focus you a little more. you vul v all of this information aet your finger tips. why do you say that? there s research on this. there s evidence that children are having shorter attention
you know how backwards i am. i have a beat up blackberry. okay. well, one of the common complaints among iphone owners is spotty service from at&t. consumer reports just rated at&t as the worst-rated mobile phone provider. it got the worst possible rating in eight of nine categories. talking about poor marks from everything from overall value, phone support to staff knowledge. it s not all bad news, though. independent tests confirm at&t mobile broadband network 20% faster. this is bad timing because they could face a lot of iphone competition and talk about a verizon iphone and they got the highest overall rating from consumer reports. good intel. i ll stay with my crackberry with no problems. a chief made a name for herself rewriting the rule book.
a lot of questions raised, could it grant amnesty to illegal immigrants without the approval of congress? a senator and why he s concerned about that and the senator is live with us in three minutes. martha: bill hemmer, are you addicted to your blackberry. bill: yes. i am. martha: never anywhere without it and why a country is banning the so-called crackberry. because of national security concerns, bill! bill: wow! don t talk to strangers baby, don t you talk don t talk to strangers. hey, smart, we could stay here for the conference. i m a member of this hotel s loyalty program. well, how far away is it? okay, we take a train 40 miles to a dude ranch where we pick up a couple of horses that we ride to a nearby river. then we canoe upstream to a helicopter that takes us to the conference. or we could book with hotels.com and stay closer.
thank you. let s do the trivia. karl rove went to the same high school as what governor, chuck? republican jim gibbons of nevada at sparks high school. you say at the same time. i think they overlapped there a little bit. we ll see. we ll get a correction if that s not the case. anyway. soming up, the elusive vacation, hitting the beach, the golf course or just turning the crackberry off, americans in a desperate search unwind. but what if that leisure is making you sick? this is sick. come on. better believe it. dr. nancy snyderman up next. it s a real condition, apparently. but first, the white house soup of the day. i want this one really bad. we are not permitted to eat the soups at the mess. black bean chorizo. little salsa and sour cream. big winner. can i eat heart healthy without giving up taste?
