Okay, so I already wrote about the urbanspoon iPhone app, but just after I filed that blog, I went out back for a smoke (brrrr) with Sean, the IT guy who first introduced me to the gadget in question, and he showed me a couple other sweet (and marginally creepy/nerdy) things it can do.
First, it knows where you live. It knows where you are at all time. It's like Seymour Skinner's overprotective mother in The Simpsons because it has GPS built in and never gets lost.&n
If you're looking for some new music and in need of a new ring tone for your phone, have a listen to Baji. This pop/rock outfit reminds me a lot of the Heyday: similar radio-ready sound, same big, soaring choruses and hook-filled tunes. As a promotion, they're offering free ringtones to Verizon phone users who embed one of the two available songs into their MySpace profile. And whether you like them well enough to use them on your phone and MySpace or not, it's definitely worth a listen for fan

Perhaps just as handy, you can use the
AT&T: Sucks like an ElectroLuxHere's a free tip for all you tech entrepreneurs looking at making an "iPhone killer:" Concentrate on the phone's Achilles heel, its service. People love the phone, but all too often the service simply sucks.
Actually, it's unfair to single out Apple/AT&T for a haterade bath. The truth is, most service sucks to some degree. The San Jose Business Journal reported today on a recent survey showing that about 71 percent of people are happy with their phone, what
At this point, the folks at Aurora Public Schools really, really don't want to talk about an incident in which a Hinkley High student allegedly attacked a substitute teacher for taking her cell phone -- and related subjects are basically off-limits as well. Regarding the assault, media-relations specialist Paula Hans offers only an extra-general statement (on view below) focusing on a commitment to safety, etc. In addition, she does her best to shut down questions about the frequency of s
