Click here to view this media At a campaign event in Detroit Friday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain revealed exceptions to his 9-9-9 tax proposal that make the plan less like the flat tax that his supporters have made it out to be. Cain scheduled Friday’s speech after other Republican candidates attacked his plan at Tuesday’s CNN debate. “This is a day that we have an opportunity to explain 9-9-9 without six attacks at one time,” Cain declared. “So, here are two of the features my competitors didn’t get to when they didn’t read the plan… If you are at or below the poverty level, your plan isn’t 9-9-9, it’s 9-0-9. Say, amen, y’all. 9-0-9. In other words, if you are at or below the poverty level based on family size and because it’s a different number for each one then you don’t pay that middle nine tax on your income.” He continued: “The ‘opportunity zones’ will allow cities like Detroit to qualify for additional exemptions relative to the first nine. Right now on the first nine, you can deduct purchases if you are a business, you can deduct capital expenditures, net exports, but for those cities that will qualify as ‘opportunity zones,’ you will also be able to deduct a certain amount of your payroll expenses so you will be incentited [sic] to put people to work.” The Wall Street Journal ‘s Stephen Moore has praised Cain’s plan as coming “closest to a true flat tax.” “His argument for a ’9-9-9′ plan puts the current income and payroll taxes in the shredder and replaces them with a 9% personal income tax with no deductions, a 9% net business income tax, and a 9% national sales tax,” Moore wrote in September. “That would be rocket fuel for the economy, though the combination of a federal sales tax and an income tax is a big worry.”

It’s taken a long time for Nokia’s MeeGo-packing N9 to make its way into our top secret labs (the N9 moniker was first applied to early E7 prototypes), but it’s here in our dirty little hands, at last, and it’s glorious — well, as glorious as a stillborn product can be, anyway. The N9 is the latest and greatest in a long line of quirky, interesting, yet ultimately flawed touchscreen experiments from Nokia that includes the Hildon-sporting 7710 , a series of Maemo -based “internet tablets” ( 770 , N800 , N810 , N900 ) and most recently, the N950 MeeGo handset for developers. What makes the N9 special is that it represents Nokia’s last flagship phone as an independent player. MeeGo is already dead, and future high-end devices from the manufacturer will run Windows Phone and use Microsoft’s services. So, is this the company’s final bittersweet hurray? Did MeeGo ever stand a chance against Android, iOS and Mango ? In its attempt to stay relevant, is Nokia throwing out the baby with the bathwater? Most importantly, how does the N9 fare in today’s merciless dual-core world ? Find out after the break.
