Asking "but will it blend" may be an internet cliché by now, but there's still a shiver of half-glee, half-disgust to see a perfectly happy gadget turned to dust in one of Blendtec's industrial-strength tech-chompers. And on iPhone 3G launch day, what better toy to get the blender treatment than Apple's new cellphone. Check the video after the cut, and prepare to sob a little if you waited in a ... continued »

AT&T’s Wonderful Data Roaming
So, most companies at least offer some sort of warning, or more likely, require you call to unlock data roaming so they can make sure you understand how much it will cost you. Well with AT&T it appears that bad credit is your only savior if you are caught out of your plan area using data.
