No stethoscope? What's the point of becoming a doctor?

Rubber gloves.

Sven I hope you are added to my favorite technology team.

Charles I hope you have a chance to interview Sven after -wards.

Cheers! Best of the best for the best.

He told me they forgot to feed them *again* since early that morning. He blames low blood sugar on what he called a sub-par performance; shaking, etc... They cut about a minute of him working the crowd after his song - just as Randy Jackson looked down and started talking, Charlie turned his back and got the crowd engaged again to which the judge replied to his back "ok, soak it in...". Good grief, he told me that after tonight he doesn't care what the judges think since it's up for public votes from this point forward. He's on a mission, like Bilbo or something... What a fun man he has become, and he emulates Freddie Mercury's showmanship, as you can easily see.

Awesome performances John, your kid is awesome.  Just Youtubed it.

Have the girls been hounding him yet?

Oiy vey...

"Charlie, Charlie!!"   He's already wearing trooper sunglasses and still gets recognized in public.

I literally could not hear him due to crowd noise - watch tonight THURSDAY. He's very much himself...

Very dark that song "Where we are now".

March 12 is the release date for his album.

I have a dream that my son Charlie might meet Mr. Bowie as a result of the American Idol competition. He may sing a song of Bowie's and since there's a new release to be marketed... dream on...

@cbae: "I got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide, oh, no.... oh, no"

I love artists like Elton John and David Bowie and Genesis with Phil Collins...

His solow round in Hollywood where he flirts and glorifies wierdness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhKUMWhqWiI

You don't need to watch live unless you want to vote, and voting will begin in March...

Thank you all for taking an interest in Charlie. Yes, I'm proud but I've been waiting for years, knowing all along...

And 99.99% of the business desktop share.

And for those that don't like it, this type of reaction is one of the reasons why it has 99.99% of the business desktop share.

I always thought RIM had a shot.

@evildictaitor: How can MS and apple be so different in terms of reaction? One is responsible and the other not? I just learned of all of this mess today. Apple apparently blocked Java 1.7 earlier then Oracle patched it and they turned it back on, then they found only one of two issues were patched and then turned it back off... workaround includes reverting to Java 1.6, but really... wow.

"earlier this month the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommended disabling Java in Web browsers to avoid potential hacking attacks. Oracle Corp., which owns Java, has issued updates that fix known vulnerabilities, but the DHS expects that there are more flaws in Java's coding."

So is Microsoft going to block all Java?     It would be very stupid I believe.
