New York Times: Thursday, October 13, 2011

Thursday's paper, thankfully, had a lot more to offer than yesterday's paper.  I loved the lead for the story about the multi-race family.  I thought that the quote set up the story perfectly.  However I am baffled that some people actually have the nerve to ask questions like that.  I don't understand why everyone has to be in other peoples business.

I also really liked the summary lead for the story about the ex-navy member.  I'm tired of hearing stories about this kind of discrimination though.  Sure, people will definitely read the story, but it's a shame that it even has to be written about; just let people marry who they want to marry!  Hopefully in the next 10 years problems about same-sex marriage will be a thing of the past.

The story about the BlackBerry's service problem was ironic to me; my room mate has a BlackBerry and was saying that he couldn't access certain wireless features on his phone.  I'm actually surprised that BlackBerry's are still widely used.  Years ago, BlackBerrys were the thing to have.  However now everyone either has an android phone or an iPhone.  The story goes over how shares of the company have gone down by 60 percent, so it will be interesting to what the future holds for the device.
