Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds

Not only can text messaging be painful for your pocketbook, but an Australian doctor is saying that it can hurt your physically as well.

Yahoo! Not Pledging Full Firefox Support

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet

Looks like the Yahoo! official from the company’s Australian offices was incorrect when they said that Yahoo! plans to ensure that all current and future services would be checked for full Firefox compatibility.

After someone realized that this idea probably wouldn’t fly, Apple changed its stance - now they only want 10% of the wholesale price. This is all probably because the iPod …
