Another great application of Skype.

<![CDATA[
<div class="entry_text">
Can you ever pay enough for an iPhone?

<blockquote><p>Austrian luxury designer and jeweler Peter Aloisson, creator of one of the world’s most expensive cell phones, has broken new ground—sort of.

A good review of the Otterbox iPhone case.

<title>VON.x Here We Come</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<div class="entry_text">
VoIP is becoming XoIP at the VON.x convention in San Jose.

<blockquote><p>Among the conferences my partner and I had high on our list to attend, VON.x in San Jose was one of the most important. Due to scheduling, spring break, and cost, we sadly came to the conclusion we just couldn’t attend. When your work is focused on a particular area and you have to miss a key event, it’s a deflating feeling.</p></blockquote>

<![CDATA[
<div class="entry_text">
Click through for the James Hydrick video with the pencil and the telephone directory.

<blockquote><p>In any case, all of this reminded me of a fantastic example of applied skepticism in the case of James Randi’s exposing of James Hydrick, a young man who claimed to be able to perform telekinesis in moving a pencil and flipping the pages of a telephone directory. Of course, the hack was full of hot air - quite literally, in fact, as he moved both items simply by blowing on them:</p></blockquote>

The Verizon contract keeps this blogger from getting a working phone until his service anniversary.

<blockquote><p>Margaret sent me to the Verizon store yesterday because the microphone on my cell phone no longer works. I didn’t come away with an audible sell, because the very patient Verizon franchisee explained that I wasn’t eligible for a new phone till April 8 — at which time I could receive a “free” phone if I re-upped for another two-year contract.</p></blockquote>
