I’ve Met a Couple of Cops Like This
A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.” The rancher said, “Okay , but don’t go in that field over there.” As he pointed out the location.
The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!”
Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. “See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish, on any land!! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?!!”
The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis bull. With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he’d sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.
The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs:
“Your badge, show him your BADGE!”

Did the MyTouch 3G Out-cool the iPhone?
I don’t know if you can get much cooler than Clapton getting a call from Buddy Guy.

Motorola Droid Review
The only publicly known user of the Motorola Droid, Boy Genius Report, has published the first review of the new Android based phone, and it’s glowing.
While he does give some of the credit for the experience to the new and improved Android 2.0, he does say this is by far the best Android phone to date. The only most negative part of the review is regarding the physical keyboard, but as BGR points out, you can use the virtual keyboard in both portrait and landscape mode. Read the full review and see all the pics at Boy Genius Report.

Nerdgasm Alert: Motorola Droid Hands-On!
Over the last couple of weeks The Boy Genius Report has taunted us with pictures, videos and screenshots from a device that most believe is a Motorola Droid (aka Sholes, aka Tao). Finally BGR has brought the Droid out of the shadows and we see it in all it’s glory.
Not an in depth review, but several nice pictures and it does confirm many of the rumors we’ve heard about this phone.
Including:
- It does run Android 2.0 (Eclair)
- It is only a couple of millimeters thicker than an iPhone 3Gs including the slide out keyboard
- It is the fastest Android phone out there (running a TI OMAP3430 processor)
Plus, they offer up these juicy tidbits:
- Google had direct input on the design of this phone. They even imply that Google dictated virtually every move Motorola made regarding this phone.
- It will come with a docking cradle/charger that will allow it to become a desktop info screen, displaying weather and time. (One could assume this could spawn a whole slew of apps such as a stock ticker, sports score scroll, news updates, RSS headlines, etc…)
It looks like this could be a win-win-win for Motorola, Google and Verizon.
