Update 2x 7/28 - iLounge.com member iScottL apparently got soaked by AT&#38;T for $1,500 because of this oversight!
So I learned a little bit of a lesson last month with AT&#38;T and the iPhone and data roaming during our wedding in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, Apple finally got around to releasing the first major firmware update for iPhones - &#8220;Firmware 2.0&#8243; - and after having spent a weekend with it, I have to say that Apple has definitely done it again.

		<description><![CDATA[The news around the web is that News Corp and Yahoo! apparently have been in some sort of talks about an acquisition.  Might happen, might not.  But the one thing that does seem to be known is the pricetag of $12 billion.

Ok, first off - kudos to Robert Murdoch if he can pull that off.  He'll have made the stock market equivalent of a real-estate flip, and profited handsomely from the process.  But am I the only one, or does this seem like such an insanely large acqusition price, that it could be risky for Yahoo! as a whole?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, what do you get when you mash up 100+ years worth of US real estate pricing data (as researched by a Yale economist), with Atari&#8217;s Rollercoaster Tycoon 3? One heck of a roller-coaster ride!





Very creative work from the folks over at speculativebubble.com.
