Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although Constellation's been a good performer every year, it hasn't been off the charts.

And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me. Well does He know what is in human nature, and yet, knowing the worst, He still has confident hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citizen participation [is] a device whereby public officials induce nonpublic individuals to act in a way the officials desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Citizen participation [is] a device whereby public officials induce nonpublic individuals to act in a way the officials desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those three kids have swung consistent bats all spring and they came through with those doubles all in a row. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those three kids have swung consistent bats all spring and they came through with those doubles all in a row.

It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21328</guid></item></channel></rss>
