Google Voice: Too Hot for the iPhone
MacLean's has an article about Google Voice and the potential massive impacts it could have on the cellular industry (which is likely a big part of the reason it wasn't allowed in the iPhone App Story – official story about it duplicating existing iPhone features notwithstanding.)“Google Voice’s primary offering to consumers—a single, unchanging phone number—seems […]
A Couple Apple Related Stories

I Am A Mac!
A great response by Bill Gate$ (finally) but too little too late… After getting the word that they would not be able to bring my PC back to life for a reasonable cost (fried motherboard – mmm, tasty!), I went out today and took the plunge. I am now the proud (if slightly nervous) owner […]
