Gadgets are a girl best friend
A recent study indicates that Women are more interested in high-tech gadgets these days rather than jewelry.
77 percent of the female subjects preferred a plasma TV instead of a diamond necklace and more than half of the investigated women (56%) prefer the plasma TV to a trip in Florida. 86% of the female subjects opted for a digital camera instead of a pair of designer shoes.
‘People make the assumption that women are not as advanced as men when it comes to technology and I was surprised at the parity men and women now have in terms of technology,” Geraldine Laybourne, chairman and chief executive of Oxygen Network, told Reuters.
Well after reading that 86% of female are less interested in buying shoes, I was wondering WHERE ARE THOSE WOMEN. Finally I can get out of bacheolerhood if I find anyone of those women.
I think one more theory would be that Men like gadgets and women. Now if Women like Gadgets.. that would make them some kind of lesbian or something! hmmm! thats why I think we men cannot accept women liking gadgets more than shoes or diamonds.

Dexter Filkins, an Iraq based New York Times journalist claimed in a recent radio interview that the Sunni in Iraq have now “realized that the Shia are their true enemy, not the Americans.”
But the fact is that this statement contradicts history, Iraq Sunni and Shia have been living together for centuries. Modern history books are free from any reference to war between them, but not until the US-led invasion of Iraq.
The Iraq conflict is being fired up by US politics just to cover up the middle east violence by giving statements like “Muslims harm each other more than Israel harmed Lebanese”.
