Just to get some PR and keep the brand name under the bright spot light?
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.
The Droid X has been mired in controversy since its launch. Motorola used a bootloader and chip combination that made it difficult for hackers to mod the phone and install custom versions of Android. The bootloader is the software component that loads the operating system in a gadget. Despite that, Android developers have been able to root the device.
For now, intrepid Droid X users have no choice but to wait for the official Froyo update to the Droid X, which is scheduled for early September.
That's right, just weeks after it;s release, the Motorola Droid 2 has been rooted! The geniuses over at XDA Developers have done it again with this latest hack. At first glance, the process looks fairly simple, but it's not one click root, that's for sure. So, if you're unsure about rooting, I would wait until an easier method is released. This one isn't for the faint of heart, so be cautious.
As of now, there have been no ROM releases or recovery images, but we'll keep you posted on any new developments.

Modern Living: Let Them Eat Yogurt
"Wall Street is frozen-yogurt city now," says a beaming Richard Egan, executive vice president of Colombo yogurt. Indeed, any fair lunchtime brings out crowds of bankers and stockbrokers strolling about and licking 500 and 750 curl-topped frozen-yogurt cones. In midtown Manhattan, long queues snake around corners to the tiny frozen-yogurt parlors that seem to have sprung up everywhere.
Frozen yogurt is actually just the latest ferment in the general yogurt boom. Exalted in ancient writings as the food of the gods, yogurt has become popular in the U.S. only in the past decade. In 1975 Americans ate 200,000 tons of it, nearly $300 million worth—up from $25 million in 1967.
Food faddists credit yogurt with nearly universal virtues. They say it prolongs life and improves the work of the digestive tract. Moreover, skim-milk yogurt is a good low-calorie source of protein, calcium and phosphorus.
Food Critic Gael Greene cautions that it cannot be compared with foie gras, or homemade butter-pecan ice cream. But she says that she breakfasts on yogurt "every disciplined morning," adding, "yogurt is definitely a best friend —but not a lover."
And the moral of the story is? Let Them Eat Yogurt! 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 etc! :)
The Duchess: You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.
Alice: Perhaps it hasn't one.
The Duchess: Tut, tut, child! Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.

History
Frozen yogurt was introduced in New England in the 1970s as a soft serve dessert by H. P. Hood under the name Frogurt. In 1978, Brigham's, a Boston based ice cream, candy and sandwich chain developed and introduced the first packaged frozen yogurt under the name Humphreez Yogart. It was originally intended as a healthier alternative to ice cream, but consumers complained about the tart taste. Manufacturers began production of a recipe that tasted sweeter, and frozen yogurt took off in the 1980s, reaching sales of $25 million in 1986. In the early 1990s, frozen yogurt was 10% of the dessert market.
