Wolfram Alpha Is Tired Of People Not Paying $50 Dollars For Their iPhone App
The first problem with the Wolfram Alpha iPhone app was that it cost $50. The second problem was that the site's iPhone web interface was nearly as good as the app, and it was free. Guess which issue Wolfram "fixed!"

Unfortunate Corporate Slogans, Nokia Edition: TAG YOUR IT!
No, this slogan isn't a typo, and yes, the English-speaking Nokia reps were extremely embarrassed about it. The best part? The phrase is written everywhere at this booth, from t-shirts to rebranded cans of soup. More idiom-related wackiness post-jump. More » -

Uh Oh: iPhone OS 3.0 Doesn't Fully Delete Your Emails (UPDATED)
The iPhone is no stranger to gaping security flaws, but this one's a doozy: You know how when you delete emails, you expect them to be, well, deleted? On iPhone 3.0, that's just not how things work. This is bad. More » -

Bloomberg News Accidentally Publishes Draft of Steve Jobs's Obituary
Note to Bloomberg News employees: when you're in the system updating your draft of Steve Jobs's obituary, do NOT press publish. That, though, is exactly what happened late last night, as sleuthed by our buddies over at Gawker. Now, pre-writing obits for prominent figures such as the Steve, in good health and in bad, is totally S.O.P. in the media—so this should not be viewed as yet another non-statement on Jobs's personal health. But unfortunately, we're all going to die (but not all of us will come back more powerful than you can possibly imagine), so reading this and imagining a world without Steve is more an entertaining mind fuck than anything else. And that's just for us—imagine what it must be like to read your own obituary. Read on for an excerpt, with more over at Gawker. More »
