HE DROPS HIS PHONE ON THE BABY.
Starts at 00:27. When I saw this on TV I almost peed my pants.
Did I mention he drops his phone on the baby?
As the mobile world diversifies and becomes more sophisticated, what features are you hoping for next?
We’ve seen recent reports that 3-D could be coming to smartphones soon, and by 2012, 3-D on mobile devices will be common — representing up to 45% of the mobile market.
So, tell us, do you want 3-D on your mobile phone? Why or why not? If not, what else are you hoping improves/gets invented?

Optical scientists said they had taken an important step towards 3-D holographic video — a technology with innumerable outlets in entertainment, conferencing, medicine and advertising. Holographic images that 30 years ago were static can now be updated in “quasi real time,” according to the research carried out at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Now here’s a book we’d love to read.
The Phone Book: The Curious History of the Book That Everyone Uses But No One Reads debuted last month from Perigee Trade publishers. The author Ammon Shea explores that big, yellow book with tons of phone numbers that gets delivered to doorsteps, and how it came to be.
The first phone directory was published in 1878.
Another gem? Apparently in the 1960s, the phone number itself was protested by the Anti-Digit Dialing League.
Star Wars in your pocket.

Plastic bag? In your hoodie? Your pocket? A mini-umbrella?
