"I wan' it!!!" (Andy Pipkin, Little Britain)

When I first saw what the iPhone looked like, I was struck! It looked awesome! Since I've been using the same mobile phone for nearly four years, I think I'll buy one like that at the end of the year, when it's released in Europe. Meanwhile, I can (and you too) can appreciate this flavourful mobile phone/iPod/GPS/internet-linked device by watching this:



I admit I feared that such a screen would quickly be scratched (I take care of my video iPod, but there's a lot of scratches on everywhere!), but Apple apparently hired scientists to sort it out, as you can see:



I was scared when this man dropped his $600 iPhone, but it held up well…

I definitely want one like that!

Never Use Your Mobile Phone… During A Meeting

Never got annoyed by those irritating people who are using their mobile phones while walking on the streets (very common) or in a bus (less common, but really annoying because you can't help hearing from something useless that people "absolutely have to tell"). That was a first class of public means of "disruption".

A second class gathers all the people who don't turn off their mobile phones when they should, for instance at the cinema, at the restaurant, at school — let me say that I always hear at least 1 text-message "beep-beep" at every lecture — or even at a council. A genius found the perfect way of putting into words what I felt about mobile phones used in places where they shouldn't.



I love it! It's well done; nice effects.

Note: in the far, far away galaxy of Star Wars, where technology seems to be unlimited, they never use mobile phones — just little comlinks, but with only one or two knobs… Of course, they have this hologram system (Holonet), but that's another story. (Because I could say that given the space distance, they should be waiting for ages – literally – before they get an answer from the other side of the galaxy…)

Don't be a galactic nuisance!!!
