Can your cell phone pop popcorn?

If your cell phone can do this, imagine what it can do to your brain! My suggestion is that you get a bluetooth or wired headset.

Post in the comments if you can repeat the experiment with your phone.

We Never Close

A sign on a door is a promise. This one promised service 24/7/365. Yet the store was only open 8 hours a day during the week and only 4 hours over the weekend. Sure, the owner was willing to put a phone number on the door and encourage a visitor to call if the store was closed. Ironic that they sell sold mobile phones, so perhaps the customer at the door might not be able to call.

And, if you are going to make a statement as bold as “We Never Close,” you better not go out of business!

Anyone need a storefront for rent?

GrandCentral goes dark without notice

Early this morning, GrandCentral went offline. Not sure why. No notice to its users, but it is back online. Right now the service is totally free and in beta, so the users that will complain about this violently should remember… FREE and BETA do not mean RELIABLE. Yes, GrandCentral hopes to be a phone company someday. But as someone who has grown up with technology for my entire life, I know what to ultimately expect from free products currently in beta.

Update: Craig Walker posted this comment on the GrandCentral blog.
