Michael Arrington has grown tired (as have MANY others) of AT&Ts terrible service, and Apples stuck up behavior towards Google Voice. You can read the whole article here.

My only question is, what the hell took them so long?! Now we just have to wait for them to announce the iPhone, and the Touch Diamond2/Touch Pro2. Anyone wanna start a rumor?

In case you haven't been on the internet in the past few days (where the hell were you?!), Wolfram Alpha has been getting a lot of attention. Well, tonight, it finally went live! Check it out here.
Gizmodo has posted one of their more interesting articles detailing a new bra that will increase the cleavage of the wearer as it senses the desire for intercourse. It does this by starting at, err...monitoring her temperature and then pushing her funbags together, showing off the newly created cleavage.
Though many of you have danced (and not everyone does it well; you know who you are!), I would feel safe betting that most of you have done that dancing here in the US of A. A while back, Matt Harding decided that he was going to travel the world, and instead of keychains or shot glasses, he would dance on film for his momento. Enter Wherethehellismatt.com. He's made several videos now, and even has a corporate sponsor!
If you're running Windows Mobile on your cell phone, you may have noticed that unless you have very few options as far as Facebook apps go. Well no more! Microsoft has released a new app for Windows Mobile 6, though I was actually able to get it to run on my old WM5 phone. Quoting Microsoft, you are able to:

WiGig is looking to really shake things up in the wireless world. They have developed a wireless technology that has gigabit transfer speeds. And, since most of the people that aren't working on a desktop computer are using wireless, this is obviously a big deal. Wired has the details.

There isn't a whole lot more to say here. Its been rumored forever,and now its finally here. They are leaving it available to the public through July, and there is an unlimited number of product keys, so you can use this on several machines if you wanted to. The keys are good for one year, at which point, your computer will sink into the black hole known as Microsoft Licensing.
In what could be the biggest change to the Internet since Al Gore created it, Dr Stephen Wolfram has created a machine named the Wolfram Alpha that will push the line of artificial intelligence forward beyond anything we've seen. As read in The Independent:
The real innovation, however, is in its ability to work things out "on the fly", according to its British inventor, Dr Stephen Wolfram. If you ask it to compare the height of Mount Everest to the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, it will tell you. Or ask what the weather was like in London on the day John F Kennedy was assassinated, it will cross-check and provide the answer. Ask it about D sharp major, it will play the scale. Type in "10 flips for four heads" and it will guess that you need to know the probability of coin-tossing. If you want to know when the next solar eclipse over Chicago is, or the exact current location of the International Space Station, it can work it out.
Ever been curious as to how McDonalds is able to make enough beef and sausage patties to feed the millions of people that order their food every day? Well, here you go! The video walks you through the entire process from cow to cheeseburger, and shows you how its done and how clean they (say they) are.
As reports of Apple and Verizon talks hit the wires, so too did reports that Microsoft was tasting the idea of developing an iPhone killer for the Verizon network. Ars Technica has the details (and so did Giz!), but I think that I speak for all of us when I say that anything better than the iPhone is something I would really like to see!
Apparantly, somebody has the Touch Pro2 out in the wilderness. PocketNow has the details, but all you really need to know is that its got the American T-Mobile logo on it.
Lifehacker has thrown up a neat article where they list 6 ways you should be using your Twitter Account. Definitely worth a read.

If you're on Twitter (and you freaking should be!), you are probably familiar with programs like Tweetdeck, and Twhirl. Most people though, for some reason unknown to me, have not heard of HootSuite. HootSuite is an awesome tool for Twitter with some powerful features. Of the more useful is the ability for multiple admins to manage a single Twitter account. This is really nice for companys big and small that want to use Twitter, but keep the original account secure. You can also use as many Twitter accounts as you want, and use the built in tools to track the views and comments on your tweets. See all the features here, and try it out!
Verizon Wireless has taken what I believe to be a good step toward user input on pricing of phones by allowing people to write their own reviews of the phones Verizon offers. Its pretty much your standard review form, with Pros, Cons, and Comments fields, and another that can be super important; the Location field. This is a good piece of information because of the speed and coverage differences people will receive in different parts of the world.
The catch? Of course there has to be one! Verizon employees screen every review. Now, this could be just to make sure the nutters stay out. But I think we all know that there are negative reviews getting "lost" in the fray.
Head on over to Verizon's website and check it out. Write some reviews, and let the world know just how stupid it is that Verizon's version of the Diamond has less RAM than the Sprint alternative...just for example...
If you watch any amount of TV or visit any news website, you have undoubtedly noticed the over-coverage of the Twitter 'story.' Well, with the awesome parts of Twitter now covered, we are surely going to start seeing the attacks roll in, and information on how Twitter is ruining our children. Let the Twitter bashing begin.
