Cellphone Holdouts’ Lives Would Be Much Easier if They Just Got Cellphones

The Times ran a story today about people they (somewhat oddly) call “Refuseniks”: Those who refuse to get cellphones not due to price but to a moral stance. Unsurprisingly, it’s not necessarily the most practical choice, even for them. These Refuseniks (which have nothing to do with the Soviet Jews to whom this term is…

“Droid” May Be A Series, Not Just A Phone As Revealed By HTC Droid Desire Specs

Based on specs coming out about the HTC Droid Desire, it may be that “Droid” represents not just a Motorola handset (which we previously knew as “Sholes”), but the name of Verizon’s entire Android series. What’s going on? Honestly, I’m a little bit confused. Why call a phone and a series by the same name…

Else Intuition: The Surprisingly Not-Sad Fate of Palm OS
