verizon snags lg chocolate 3
besides, the iphone 3g and sprint’s launching of the samsung instinct, no news has more appeal to me so far this year than the future availality of chocolate 3 at verizon. verizon is very lucky. after acquiring alltel for $28 llion, nothing says s more than another chocolate iteration. the shine made a decent impact in the mole world; however, it’s a good idea for lg to take a double step back and reintroduce their most popular model ever. this time it’s a clams.
two other lg phones - dare and decoy - will also be coming from verizon.
this is a post from cell phones etc. enled:

earth day, focus on co2 [cnc]
in case you didn’t notice, yesterday was earth day. i’m not a g fan of whatever-days, but there’ve been a couple of interesting events in the last 24 hours that stimulated my interest.
first, dopplr added a carbon calculator service. discussing it last night with mattb, i tioned the fact that for the first time a web two service makes me feel guilty, and felt a t ashamed too when it prompted me to share the carbon profile with other travellers. he replied that the idea is to push people into starting conversations on the ject, and i think this is a good way to raise awareness. as matt jones puts it:
it?s not enforcing any particular course of action - it?s the weighing scales, not the diet.
what we all do with this information is up to us.
on a similar pattern, today in milan at the next web now (microsoft event) fiat presented ecodrive: new fiat cars are equipped with a sensor that register co2 emissions; data can be stored in a usb drive and dumped in a pc for ysis and access by the driver.
the idea is kinda neat, and makes every fiat 500 a potential 6 gears openspime :)
update: information aesthetics posted about this video today. neat:

man claims to have bought ps3's mgs4 bundle from wal-mart way early
we all know how much gnashing of teeth there has been out of envy or disbelief when we reported that metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriots' street date has been broken in several locations around the world. if that kind of news drives you nuts, prepare to go wild with this one.
neogaf member randam_hajile posted the image reproduced above and said he got his 80gb playstation 3 bundled with metal gear slid 4 a week early from wal-mart. he was shady on details, so feel free to theorize how he got it from his post quoted below:
so i walked in to wal-mart tonight to get a father's day card with my fiance', and walked out with this! i pre-ordered the limited edition mgs4 at gamestop, so i don't know if i'm even gonna open this copy of the game, but at least now i have the 80 gig ps3 i've been waiting for, and a week early at that! my college graduation ceremony is tomorrow morning. happy graduation to me!
there you have it, folks. more people claiming to have picked up mgs4 and related items before launch.
