If Palin doesn’t suffice as your VP pick, one site recommends you try her out as your new Segway.

You can join one of the hundreds of new Facebook groups passing judgment about Palin– ranging from “Sarah Palin has more Executive experience than Obama and Biden combined” to “I have more Foreign Policy Experience than Sarah Palin.” There is even a Governor Palin Facebook application… that doesn’t seem to have any sort of application.

A security researcher said on Thursday that he hopes that Apple has a fix later this month for what he believes could be a vulnerability in the
iPhone that could allow an attacker to gain control of the device remotely via SMS, according to IDG News Service.
