I TRIED TO LEAVE YOU Lyrics
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: New Skin for the Old Ceremony
I tried to leave you, I don't deny
I closed the book on us, at least a hundred times.
I'd wake up every morning by your side.
The years go by, you lose your pride.
The baby's crying, so you do not go outside,
and all your work it's right before your eyes.
Goodnight, my darling, I hope you're satisfied,
the bed is kind of narrow, but my arms are open wide.
And here's a man still working for your smile.
Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Naturally, Shin also had a bit to say about Samsung's ongoing legal battle with Apple. "We didn't copy Apple's design," he said bluntly, adding that Apple's allegations "will not be legally problematic." Sure Sammy, tell it to the judge.
Update: The Wall Street Journal updated its story calling for the 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab to launch this summer, not in June as originally stated.

Select Local Merchants
RefabRead MoreIt's true that furniture usually tends to just sit around, but at Refab, it transforms—travels back in time, even. That's thanks to the design studio's skilled artisans, who treat age-mottled wood, stitch torn upholstery, and sand down scars (although they might well leave a couple "memory marks" to preserve a lived-in feel). They select only solid, American-made pieces to start with, so that their handiwork will endure through the decades in customers' homes. Some visitors to the studio aren't shoppers, however—they're there to learn the shop's secrets during furniture-restoration classes.2980 Fairfield AvenueBridgeport, CT US
