iPhone 4 wits
iPhone 4, when spoken in Chinese, literally means “sigh/dust/cyanide insane death” (埃瘋死). I don’t know why anyone in China would want that.

Why bother talking to people who ignore you? If amount of text and calls you sent is way more than you received, find a better friend.
Wow! Google Voice (@googlevoice) is now open to everyone to sign up! Get your new phone number now! http://voice.google.com

If Microsoft makes Kinect for Windows, it will kill OS X, Linux and Chrome OS in one swoop. Imagine 3D modeling, music making, drawings…

On iPhone 4

Facetime on the iPhone is the last straw of the popularization of the whole video chat industry. If...
The announcer cant pronounce the Japanese word Gyokuro correctly in Spelling Bee. How dare they ask a Spanish girl to spell it?
