Must have changed four or so years ago. I distinctly remember being annoyed by the fact that the 'Generation' kept flopping sides as you moved around the globe. @Illa, I just checked and you may be correct.

TIME magazine, who are you hiring? FAIL. FAIL. and FAIL. It reminds me of the Gilmore Girls episode where Rory Gilmore was "interviewing" a teenager about Free Music Downloads, and she appeared totally oblivious of what he was talking about. How to ppl not aware of what's happening in the world end up as "journalists"? It's not about being "able to write", ppl. It's mostly about knowing what you are talking about.

It also tells you that it's not to late to get in on Apple as a stock. The company is taking the music industry by storm and now sells more music than any other medium even overtaking Walmart, who would have ever imagined this ten years ago. Now in just a year have set there eyes on the telecom world. I mean who really think that Motorola and Nokia will be the same? They don’t get it alright.

Or they'll say so the new iPhone has that G3 in it? Or it's got that 3 thing right? You guys getting the 3rd generation iPhone in right? I couldn't understand where these people got G3 from but now it sort of makes sense. Every single customer asks about that phone, and they almost all call it the “iPhone G3″.
