When Steve announced the new iPhone update a few days ago at Macworld, he left one small detail out. One of the new “features” of the new firmware v1.1.3 is that it does a quick Reanimator and brings bricked iPhones back to life. This is pretty much the same concept behind Nintendo Wii bricking solutions […]

The Verzio Duplii is one of two phones (the other one is the Twinn) launched in the Philippines. It is the first “looks good like it ain’t hacked” phone that holds two SIM card slots active simultaneously.

This ad caught my eye. It is a vertical banner ad for eatoni.com which is a product that simulates something close to the BlackBerry SureType mode of texting.

Hi folks, the b5media Technology Channel is looking for a blogger to fill in a new blog we’re going to launch soon. The blogger profile we’re looking for would be someone that is comfortable writing about the online vid industry - movers, shakers, trends, products and “lighter side of” stuff.

Yet another example of how viral marketing campaigns spread because of technology - but in this case, the “marketing campaign” is a morbid execution of Iraq’s former dictator, Saddam Hussein.
