Droid sales and pre-sale lines at stores, are proof positive that many Americans are insecure and have relatively bankrupt lives � a lot of people need a hobby, or a significant other.

Despite the decision by the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) and the American Arbitration Associations to discontinue the lucrative credit card and cell phone arbitration business, consumers are still at risk for arbitration abuses. There is nothing in federal law to prohibit private arbitration companies from treating consumers unfairly in the first place; whether it is cell phone service or a new defective home. Make no mistake forced binding arbitration is big business that touches many aspects of consumer lives that can render warranties worthless and unenforceable.
