It doesn't matter how depressed and pissed off you are due to the soaring cost of gasoline, airline tickets, bread and drugs, etc, etc. Just be glad you don't live in Belgium. Particularly if you are an Apple Freak! 'Cos, you're just 48 hours away from getting your very own GodPhone. That's right, on Friday both the Flemands and the Walloons get the chance to buy one of Apple's new 3G iPhones, unfortunately it's going to cost them $825 for the 8-gigabyte model and $966 for the 16-gigabyte version. In the U.S., the same phones are priced at just $199 and $299 respectively. Although the explanation the news wires provide for this state of affairs is a bit fuzzy, it apparently has to do with a quirk in Belgian law. Whatever the case, the Belgians are going to be paying the world's highest prices for the gadgets and some people in that nation are in a tizzy about it. Thank goodness, nobody's tried yet to jack up the price of their superb Belgian beer.

I'll drink to that!
