If only Russia were still a super-power…
According to faithful Macenstein reader Kelly, it appears that the iPhone is about to do what a truck full of Reagans couldn’t – namely, deal communism a death blow.
Medvedev was (allegedly) spotted with an iPhone at last year’s “Transformers” premiere.
The Weekly Standard is reporting that recently elected (as in, yesterday) Russian President Dmitri Medvedev is an iPhone user, 
despite the fact that the iPhone is not officially (or legally) available in Russia yet. Allegedly many high-ranking Kremlin officials are fans of the iPhone, and Vladimir Putin‘s press-secretary Dmitri Peskov is rumored to also be obsessed with Apple’s gadget, calling it “his favorite toy.”
You can almost hear the Berlin Wall turn over in its grave as such rampant, capitalistic gadget obsession takes hold in the heart of the coldest of the cold-war countries. A black-market iPhone goes for around $1000 in Russia, a price once once reserved only for Jordache Jeans.
Granted, the current Russia ain’t quite what it was, now coming in somewhere between Aruba and Scotland on the “Most Powerful Nations List”, but still, it is nice to see the iPhone is able to unite peoples from all over the globe in a way that the divisive Zune never could.
…and the award for creepeiest photo EVER goes to….
Umm Guy’s…Russia is a superpower…(google it if you don’t believe me)
Russia’s a Super Power in the way the shuffle is an iPod.

Russia is actually no longer considered a superpower since the fall of the Soviet Union. As of today only the United States is considered a superpower, and China, the EU, and India would have potential to become superpowers in the next century. The actual definition of superpower is this:
“a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world, and sometimes, in more than one region of the globe at a time, and so may plausibly attain the status of global hegemon.”
It’s like calling my Power Mac G4 PCI a top of the line Mac. That time has come and gone.

Ummm…If that’s the definition…Then Russia IS a SuperPower! (Retards).
