Smart Puts Load in Spam
We all hate mobile spam, but what if mobile spam came with prepaid load? Would you hate it so much then?

First, the good news: Nokia’s N-Gage gaming service is now widely available. I just got their email announcement today, as many other Nokia owners probably did.

Google is Light Yagami
What does Google have in common with Death Note’s Light Yagami, besides being God of the New World and deciding who lives or dies based on keywords? Answer: they both like playing Xanatos Roulettes. That’s exactly what Google did with Firefox, and they’re doing it again with the Gphones. Find out how at Emerging Earth.
If Google is Light Yagami, then sign me up as Teru Mikami. Sakujo, sakujo, sakujo, SAKUJOOO!!!
