The BlackBerry is the "whining toddler of technology"...it's constantly buzzing, poking and distracting its owner from whatever it is she's trying to accomplish. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the uncooperative two-year-old hanging off Mom's leg at the Motor Vehicle office. Still not convinced? Consider:

· They both "start up" the minute you visit the washroom.
· They both go off in the middle of the night.
· They are both heartier than you think, but sometimes the slightest thing can lead to a complete breakdown.
