Woman Sues Burger King Over Text Messages
We all pretty much concur that America is full of heathens, vagrants and ne’er do wells that will stop at nothing to upgrade their monetarily depressing lives. Our latest case of ‘I’m too lazy or stupid to make an honest living’ comes from the great city of New York. A woman is suing Burger King for five million dollars due to what she claims is a rash of unsolicited text messages she received from the fast food giant over the last several months. The total amount of harassing text messages is… three. Now let’s put aside the actual logic of the lawsuit, because we can pretty much agree that it is a get rich quick scheme. How can anybody living in contemporary society claim to be annoyed by three text messages over a span of several months. We live in an information age…

Dell to Invest Heavily in Telecommunications
It looks like the Coo Coo Puffs over at Dell finally realized that they need to be more heavily involved in the telecommunications industry. Dell made this announcement at a recent trade show, thumping their chests and patting themselves on the back for what they consider a brilliant move. Yes, this is definitely a brilliant move if it were implemented two or three years ago. But now, Dell is really behind on the technological and sales curve. Almost all successful and progressive hardware manufacturers are involved in some may in the mobile industry. Why it took Dell, a company known for forward and innovative thinking, this long to see the light is a question left up to soothsayers and sages. In any case, Dell will create a new mobile business unit that will…

India Running Out of Phone Numbers?
Some trouble is brewing in India. That trouble is that the second largest country in the world by population is running out of phone numbers. India has surpassed the 500 million subscriber mark which is a staggering number, outpacing analyst predictions from several years ago. The Department of Telecom, aka DoT (believe it or not), has issued a proposal that all mobile phone numbers in India change from 10 to 11 digits by January of 2010. Mobile operators in India are against the proposal, countering that it will take at least 12 months to implement such a change. The current 10 digit phone system used in India can serve no more than a billion numbers. With India scheduled to pass that milestone in the next few years, it would be prudent to solve this problem now,…

New Fishing Phone from Casio
We have often seen mobile technology making our every day lives more simple and enjoyable. Another example of our technological world is the recent release of the Casio G’zOne Rock that is designed specifically for fishermen. The Casio G’zOne Rock gives fishing enthusiasts the edge they need, ensuring that they don’t return home empty handed… hopefully. Displaying such information as tides and water levels will supposedly help find the locations teaming with plenty of fish. The Casio G’zOne Rock also comes with a walking counter, a variation of GPS and a sun positioning aid. Add the ruggedness of this handset and you have a perfect phone for fishing. However, amateur fishermen may not know how to interpret all the wonderful information the G’zOne provides. I, for…

EU Pushes Single Adapter
With the daunting and totalitarian agreement called Lisbon now in full force across the European continent, we should be seeing more laws and regulations take effect like the new GSMA initiative that will see major mobile manufacturers agree to use a universal micro USB port to charge their handsets. The European Commission offered the usual environmental excuse for the reasoning behind this new agreement that will see the likes of RIM, Apple, Samsung, Nokia and other major players participate in the continued overhaul in yet another EU ideological nightmare. For those who believe that the European Commission is doing this in an attempt to improve that quality of life for its constituents, I suggest a less naive approach. Technological uniformity results in limited…

The Le Million Most Expensive Phone in the World
Swiss firm Goldvish, maker of expensive and often ostentatious goods, has created the most expensive mobile phone in the world. Dubbed the ‘Le Million’, this overpriced phone is worth 1.2 million dollars. (In Goldvish’s opinion.) According to Goldvish, the Le Million is coated with 120 carat diamonds. Awesome, but do the technical specs measure up? Of course they don’t. Even if the Le Million turned into a Ferrari, it still wouldn’t be worth 1.2 million smackers. The Le Million sports an Mp3 player, Bluetooth and a decent camera. The same specs on a normal phone at Best Buy would run you perhaps $100 USD at the most. Even the worlds wealthy would be foolish to purchase such a phone, because while it may be visually pleasing, will anybody know that they paid such a…

Gangsta: West Coast Hustle for the iPhone
A Grand Theft Auto clone is out for the iPhone. The game that allowed us to delve into our criminal selves is now available on the very small screen, and for only $6.99. The game, appropriately named Gangsta: West Coast Hustle, takes place in LA, where you play a former gangbanger who has come to reclaim his rightful place in the city’s underworld. There is plenty of illegal activity of questionable morality taking place over six chapters. Players get to steal cars, mingle with prostitutes, shake down drug dealers and do just about everything else a gangbanger does to earn his daily bread. How in the world Apple approved such an app is best left for sages and those of questionable sanity. Sex, violence, drugs and other related activities are usually frowned upon by the…
