Alltell’s website reads, on the front page, “great deals on BlackBerry’s!” Why is an apostrophe there?

Internet Exploiter 6
from Wikipedia.org: “The security advisory site Secunia reported … 24 unpatched vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 6 as of February 9, 2010. These vulnerabilities, which include several “moderately critical” ratings, amount to 17% of the total 144 security risks listed on the website as of February 11, 2010.” Why do persons continue to browse with antiquated, defective, nine-and-a-half years old Internet Explorer 6 when they could use IE7, IE 8, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Chrome, Opera, Flock, et al?
all?
“No Americans have licenses to race in Formula One at the moment, sadly, because all the money in America the last 10 years has been in NASCAR.” – Peter Windsor, USF1 principal
Really? All the money in America has been in NASCAR? Or just all the money spent on racing in America has been in NASCAR? So Tony George did not spend 600 million dollars on Indy Racing League and its teams’ subsidies? C.A.R.T. and O.W.R.S. did not spend 300 million dollars to compete?
No money was spent on Skip Barber’s racing series, Bridgestone’s racing series, Formula BMW USA, Star Mazda series, Toyota Formula Atlantic, Indy Lights, American Le Mans Series, Grand Am, SCCA Trans Am, SCCA World Challenge…?

Dear customer!
Unfortunately we were not able to deliver the postal package sent on the 25th of December in time
because the recipient’s address is incorrect.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department. (what department?)
United Parcel Service of America. (yes, with a period)
I wasn’t persuaded by that amateurish note about a “postal package” to open the attachment, a zipped file, “UPS_document_Nr28451.zip”
