Vertu Signature
Continuing on this (short) series of ridiculously priced mobile phones, Vertu also has some pretty cool offering. These phone’s aren’t just pretty jewelry. They’re also built to last. The one picted above, for example, has a special surface created in a 2000 °C furnace. But you’re probably better off buying a new phone every time you break or scratch one. That is, of course, unless you really need a worldwide 24×7 concierge service and ringtones exclusively composed by the London Symphony Orchestra?
Calvé Pindakaas met stukjes noot
I just ate my peanutbutter sandwitch! Spreaded on a fresh slice of bread with little chips of nut. Sometimes good things come in small packages.
Ars has some interesting figures on the torrent site Mininova. With over 17 million pageviews per day they managed to make a nice € 1,000,000 through advertising in 2007. All this coming from a legal registered company in the Netherlands. Should be interesting to see how those anti-piracy organisations will be trying to take them down.
