The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! Not AT&T, Ford or Oil

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

• Better-than-expected earnings from AT&T Inc. (T)...
• Continuing difficulties at Ford Motor (F)....
• The drop in oil, despite production cuts...
• Chatter about the online applications that represent a potential nightmare for Microsoft (MSFT)...
• The new headache for Steve Jobs and Apple Computer (AAPL)...
• Word that Time Warner (TWX) is pondering what do to with its AOL unit...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is - Obedient driver follows orders, crashes car...wow - apparently there are people who will ignore common sense (and what their eyes are telling them) in order to follow the commands of a small electronic device...uhg, it is only a matter of time before the human race is taken over by some sort of smart toaster...
