AT CTIA, SanDisk showed off new memory cards for cell phones that greatly increase storage capacity. The SanDisk Ultra II MicroSD (TransFlash) card has a capacity of 1GB, a far step above MicroSD's previous capacity of 512MB. The new card will hold up to 480 songs when used with a digital music player phone and will retail for $89.99. The company also showed a 1GB MiniSD card ($79.99), a 2GB MiniSD card ($119.99), and a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo ($299).

Of course that's an easy attitude for a coward who has armed protection 24 hrs a day. Chicago is a microcosm of what's wrong. You have a heavily populated minority voter base who have been brainwashed into believing that voting for the democrat no matter who he is or what he's done is automatic. How has that worked out for ya? Strictest gun control and some of the highest taxes in the country, yet these morons will vote for Daley as long as he wants the job. I find it poetic justice that it is the Black and Hispanic neighborhoods under siege right now. Your children are being murdered in the streets but when election time comes, keep voting for that democratic ticket!; Reply to this comment

The Obama legacy...

A state bankrupt by government union spending, legal immigrants and Mayor Daley corruption has lead to street gun violence in the hispanic neighborhoods lead by illegal immigrants and drug lords.

This is the Obama democratic perscription. Illegals immigrants running through the city shooting everyone!!!

Re. your story tonight on Newark vs Chicago. You casually mentioned that Chicago had implemented a "handgun ban" in the context of efforts to bring violent crime under control. Chicago's handgun ban has been widely reported in other publications as contributing to the rise in violent crime in Chicago. New Jersey is a "must issue" state, meaning they allow personal ownership and concealed carry of handguns. Coincidence that where handguns are permitted for personal defense, crime goes down?

by larry0304 May 15, 2010 12:52 PM EDT: It is a FACT that in states where there is concealed carry that crime goes down. People who don't live here have no concept of what goes on. Has anyone ever figured out WHY the Democrats in Illinois who by the way, have the highest corruption rate of any politicians in the country, violate the constitution and ignore 2nd amendment rights? The answer is very simple. The hispanics and Black gangs are fighting over the drug trade. There is so much money involved, that these animals will kill anyone in their way and sacrifice their own lives. Now who do you think contributes heavily to the democratic campaign fund? The last thing these gang bangers want is armed citizens and they have the democratic party in their back pocket.
