Verizon and AT&T defend the indefensible (text charges)
Phil Goldstein of Fierce Wireless has posted a rather fair article about Verizon and AT&T’s text message costs. Charging 20 cents per text message, out of bundle, is still ridiculous, whatever way you look at it. And the defence that ‘most people buy in bundles so it’s ok’ doesn’t quite work.

US Govt: “Could you, er, postpone that Twitter maintenance?”
You know things are getting ridiculous when the United States Government reportedly (Washington Post) asked Twitter to delay it’s scheduled maintenance to avoid disruption for the protesting Iranian citizens.

The world’s first mobile augmented reality browser: Layar
I’ve been following Sprxmobile, the people behind the upcoming launch of ‘Layar’ for quite some time. Indeed the last I published was back in early January (read post). Well it’s now all about Layar. That’s the name of their absolutely tip-top-shit-hot-Bladerunner-style-Terminator-style mobile augmented reality browser. It’s a mouthful. But it’s amazing. And it’s a really [...]
