Gadgetory

hello gang it's Brian Cooley in for Mollywood once again with the buzz reports but first the gadget of the week it's the Motorola RAZR 2 or razor squared doesn't look much different than the old razor doesn't but it has a completely different interface they assure me runs a version of Linux has bigger high-res screens inside and out and get this is 0.07 inches thinner than the current razor that's right point zero 7 what really bothered me though is how Motorola's CEO called this part of the new razor its quote double chin hmm comparing your product to a fat person I don't believe that's how Steve Jobs ignited the iPhone and now something that is really really amazing we're really excited about this turn the iPhone around and here's what we call its fat ass ok speaking of the iPhone this isn't even funny a fake email went around Apple's corporate servers announcing the iPhone would be delayed from June to October gold that got out on the web and pretty soon Apple was worth two and a half billion dollars less now within the hour Apple declared the email was bogus the stock recovered and Steve Jobs grabbed his elephant gun and snugged up his pith helmet to go pith on whoever started that email but I feel bad for Motorola in all this you see they announced a real phone in fact a handful of phones the day before I could barely grab a headline maybe they should delay something or not new research this week on how many of us only have a cell phone at home made a lot of buzz 29% of Americans aged 25 to 29 have no landline at home just a cell 25 percent of Americans 18 to 24 and yes it is generational once you go to 65 plus less than 2% have ditched their landline for a cell but of course they're probably still dialing their phones another stat the household type most likely to have a cell phone only is describing the serve as unrelated adults with no children you sounds like a swingers colony no wonder this study was done by the Centers for Disease Control and it's hard to argue with this one driving while texting is a bad idea and it's soon to be against the law in Washington State starting January 1 of next year you'll score a $100 ticket and you can lose your phone if you're caught DWT now of course this is another case of legislation lamely chasing technology and falling on its face because the law carves out an exception for things like selecting a name from a contact that's not against the law so that opens the door to sending photos from your camera phone browsing its little web browser through bookmarks here's something to take to the family dinner table tonight sex is worth more than porn porn com just sold this past week for nine and a half million dollars but the URL sex com sold last year for 11 million by the way the buyer of porn com is a company called MXM and their unique genius is in convincing themselves that URLs and front doors are still worth much in this era of googling everything i'm brian Cooley this has been the buzz report thanks for watching
