That name — yeah, don’t ask us. We have to believe it has something more to do with the phone than the fact that the model’s posing with one eye closed, but beyond that, your guess is as good as ours. Specs on SKY’s latest Korea-only slider include a 2.6-inch wide QVGA display, HSDPA, GPS, FM radio, microSD slot, and a meager 1.3-megapixel cam; if we had to guess, it’s being positioned as a fashion device, so we can give ‘em a pass on the sensor if the price is right.

Orange says Polish iPhone 3G customers weren’t paid actors

Folks, be honest with us here — did you really expect Orange and / or Apple to say anything other than this? Amidst reports that iPhone 3G line sitters at Polish Orange stores were actually paid to be there, the carrier has shot back in order to defend its dignity. In an e-mail reply to an Ad Age inquiry on the matter, a spokeswoman proclaimed that as “part of the excitement around the launch of the iPhone, some of [Orange's] team has been joining customers outside [of the] shops.” She also noted that “sales were strong” and that Orange “was happy,” though actual numbers were not revealed. So there you have it, now make of it what you will.

BlackBerry Storm 9530 for Verizon gets boxed

So we might not have a physical device here, but these packaging renderings are pretty solid evidence of exactly what BlackBerry fans on Verizon — particularly those jealous of the Bold — can expect in a few weeks’ time. It looks like RIM’s first foray into the scary world of touchscreens will be officially branded the 9530 Storm, will be global (it includes a SIM card, after all), and will feature an 8GB SanDisk microSD card preinstalled. Wondering what happened to the Thunder name? Turns out that’ll apparently be reserved for the version of the phone launching on Rogers up in Canada and on Vodafone across the pond. Those Storm users on the screen there sure look happy, don′t they?

Icy wineglasses

Thursday, August 28th, 2008 90 views

If you are not informed about the eternal two problems of parties,
then here are they: an eternal deficiency in ice in the containers and
the battle of dishes. Scientists from the laboratories of plankton
have already long ago conducted the development of the product, which
would solve both these problems, and vualya,! Genius approached the
problem from other side, as a result of which became these magic small
molds for the icy wineglasses. Them it is possible to beat as much as
desired - this altogether only ice. We eject the remainders of
wineglass into the shell, we fill into the small molds somewhat water,
we place in the refrigerator on the hour or near that, and we obtain
finished wineglasses. As new!
