Computer and tech giant, Apple became the most famous example thanks to its massively successful iPhones and iTouches.

But flair bartending is much more than that. In fact, Hollywood's rendition is so unrealistic that there are now t-shirts that state," I'm a bottle flip'n, shaker spin'n, glass toss'n bartender and my name is... NOT TOM.! Enough said?" ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Blue-Monday-3004.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Blue-Monday-3004.html [CDATA[I had sex with the brain; it was tangible and cogent, a stout wave cutter plying through foamy caps and undulating emotions. The downtown air stank from litter and homeless shit but I was caught up in the crisscrossing jet streams of transatlantic perfume, Chanel 747's.
