I want my iTV

II’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave: Apple products aren’t featured at the big Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, but some attendees are discussing how Apple might change the industry with am iPhone-inspired iTV. Some speculate it might be controlled by voice or with a sweep of the hand, like Apple’s iPhone 4S.

Sure, it sounds convenient, but when you ask your TV to turn on “Fear Factor,” you’ll have to risk hearing Siri respond disapprovingly with, “Wouldn’t you rather watch ‘Downton Abbey?’”

Live free or die trying: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Pink Slip, won the New Hampshire Republican primary with about 38 percent of the vote, securing front-runner status for himself as the race moves on to South Carolina.

Romney might have done even better, but New Hampshire voters “like to fire people” who provide clumsy sound bites to them.

I’m not as think as you drunk I am: A new study on binge drinking by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that college-age drinkers average nine drinks when they get drunk. And alcohol sales suggest people buy more alcohol than they admit to consuming.

Just as election results suggest that people vote for candidates they later won’t admit to supporting.
