Nice work, Liechtenstein.

My favorite country, Liechtenstein, will keep its beloved and successful royal family. AP:

Voters in tiny Liechtenstein have soundly rejected a call to take away the ruling prince’s power to veto referendum results. Government figures showed that 76.1 percent of voters, or 11,629 people, rejected the initiative… Hereditary Prince Alois threatened to use his veto in September…

Interesting point:

The royal family could have vetoed having its power of veto voted down.

Also noteworthy: Prince Alois is high in the Jacobite line of succession to the thrones of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Remember when Apple made a cell phone?

Let CNET refresh your memory:

Apple is slated to come out with a new phone… And it will largely fail… It’s predictable…

And also:

So when consumers get to that counter at CompUSA, they will debate buying the Apple phone, and even hold it up for a look. But when they whip out the credit card, they’ll probably opt for a Motorola.

Happy fifth birthday, iPhone.
