I love hearing stories of “happy little accidents” in the world of inventing and on April 13th ‘60 Minutes‘ did a story on John Kanzius telling of a potential life and world changing device. His invention, with it’s early beginnings developed from his wife’s pie pans, has the greatest potential to possibly cure, or eliminate some/all cancer. So far, animal testing has produced exciting results. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, it also can cause plain ol’ saltwater to burn at extremely high temperatures. Check it out!
it’s starts at a measly $118,000, gets a global warming good 15 miles per gallon (thank god it’s not diesel) with it’s all-wheel drive goodness. But at least it beat the pants off a damn Landrover Discovery I know (50% better, to be exact)
I love my Treo. LOVE IT. Unfortunately our days of companionship are numbered. For the past couple months my Treo has been slowly dying. Every few days I don’t hear from people, specifically via Text Messaging or MMS. I’ve learned that when I feel lonely, I restart my phone and voila, messages, lots of them. Much to the chagrin to my Treo 650, this is not a way to operate in these times…
A quick jaunt over at Verizon Wireless and I learn that Palm has not released a new Treo in years (WTF??) and most likely will not have a new one, if they don’t file for bankrupcy, until sometime next year. Next best tool…. the Google to Treo’s Yahoo!, Blackberry.
Having enjoyed a full qwerty keyboard on my 650, I couldn’t see myself using the Blackberry Pearl, small and slim, perhaps, but not going to work. So, I finally find a Blackberry that I would like, the Blackberry Curve. Imagine my surprise that you are a paying customer of the best mobile service provider and realize that they carry crappy antiquated cell phones. No Curve available. Sure, if you’re girl in the 8th grade, Verizon’s got you and you’re subservient, spineless parents covered.
At the CTIA Wireless 2008, Verizon on March 31st announced that sometime in May, the Blackberry Curve 8330 will be released to the public. Sad side of this, the Curve came out almost a year ago on their competitor’s networks (please wait until the end of May Verizon, that way it would be COMPLETELY embarrassing.) Way to take care of your business clients Verizon.
