"Unlike most donut shops, The Donut Man uses only fresh strawberries. Unlike most donut shops that use frozen or canned fruit, owner Jim Nakano has been doing it this way since he bought the place in the 1970s. These aren’t the typical strawberry-filled variety you’ll find at most pastry shops. These monsters are crammed full of whole fresh strawberries swimming in a gooey strawberry glaze. They take fillable, pocket-style donuts and split them in half lengthwise. Then they cram them so full of fresh strawberries that they look like clam shells displaying a shimmering, red mound of succulent fruit."  - LaFoodie

iPhone for Verizon - Don't count on it!

"It's that time of year again: The weather is getting warmer, Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) annual Worldwide Developers Conference is just around the corner, and rumors about the iPhone coming to Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News) are sprouting up.

Don't believe it, Verizon fans. It's unlikely that Steve Jobs will announce a Verizon tie-up when he gets on stage at the WWDC event on June 7.

The rumors have been swirling around for years because an Apple-Verizon partnership seems to make sense for both parties.

The top reason consumers who are in the market for an iPhone decide to pass is AT&T's (NYSE: T - News) 3G network problems, which are notorious in New York and San Francisco, according to a CFI Group study. Meanwhile, Verizon has built up its reputation as the "most reliable network." Also, Verizon's 93 million wireless customers would present a huge opportunity for Apple to grow its customer base.

Yet there are some fundamental reasons why a deal isn't imminent.

Different Networks

Verizon's network runs on a wireless standard called CDMA, which is incompatible with AT&T's GSM network. It's not impossible to offer phones on both networks -- Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM - News) sells BlackBerry phones on every major U.S. network. But it wouldn't necessarily make economic sense for Apple.

For one, Apple has proudly advertised that consumers can make calls and surf the Web simultaneously on the iPhone, but Verizon's CDMA network can't support that feature.

Secondly, Verizon is set to roll out its 4G network later this year, and AT&T will unveil its 4G network in 2011. Those networks will be on a new universal, global standard called LTE, making a 4G/LTE iPhone much more cost-effective for Apple and easier to sell around the world. That would make next year or even 2012 a more likely timeframe for debuting a Verizon iPhone.

And suppliers haven't given any indication that Apple is building a CDMA phone, according to Jagdish Rebello, principal analyst of communication systems at iSuppli.

AT&T's Exclusivity Contract

Apple has a five-year exclusivity deal with AT&T, according to court documents, making it unlikely that the iPhone could come to Verizon before 2012.

Many analysts said nothing is set in stone and speculated that the terms could have been renegotiated.

"No one has a good handle on how long that exclusivity deal runs, but those contracts usually last 90 days to six months," said Josh King, general counsel at Avvo.com and former senior corporate development executive at AT&T Wireless.

But one big indication that AT&T's contract will continue for a while is its sweet 3G pricing deal for the iPad.

AT&T offers unlimited 3G access for the iPad on a contract-free basis for an average of about $22 a month. Because those sales only account for 15% of AT&T's data revenue, according to data tracker Trefis, it may be part of a bigger strategy.

"There is speculation that AT&T is offering attractively priced 3G data plans ... as part of a broader deal with Apple to maintain iPhone exclusivity for longer than the original agreement," Trefis said in a recent analyst note.

"AT&T is our exclusive partner in the U.S. and we're very happy with that," said an Apple spokeswoman but she would not comment on Apple's plans to sell the iPhone on other carriers." - Yahoo

'Diff'rent Strokes' actor Gary Coleman dies at 42

"(CNN) -- Former child star Gary Coleman, who rose to fame as the wisecracking youngster Arnold Jackson on the TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" but grew up to grapple with a troubled adulthood, has died. He was 42.

Coleman died of a brain hemorrhage at a Provo, Utah, hospital, Friday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The actor fell ill at his Santaquin, Utah, home Wednesday evening and was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, Coleman's spokesman had said in a statement earlier Friday.

He was then taken to another hospital -- Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo -- later Wednesday night.

In the late '70s and early '80s, Coleman was one of television's brightest stars, the personality around which NBC's "Strokes" -- the story of two inner-city children who are taken in by a wealthy businessman, his daughter and their housekeeper -- was built.

His natural charm and way with a line -- the frequently uttered "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?", directed at his older brother (played by Todd Bridges), became a catchphrase -- helped make the show a breakout hit, a mainstay of the NBC schedule from 1978 to 1985 (and on ABC for a year afterward)." - CNN
