Hooray! The economic depression is over. Oh wait, no it's not.
That's probably why last week Adobe cut 600 jobs, Intel could be
cutting up to 7,000, and AT&T laid off 12,000.

The iRumor Mill is in full swing, and this time it's saying that
Wal-Mart could be selling a 4GB iPhone for $99 with a two year
contract sometime soon. There's a good chance this won't happen,
but those of you who are interested should get in line now just
in case.

Truphone has released a new mobile app that lets iPod touch users
make calls to other Truphone or Google Talk users. Of course, you
have to connect to a WiFi network to use it, but it's free and
it's cool, so that's enough for us.

The world's second Google Android smartphone is now available for
pre-order. The Agora comes in two models: not quite an iPhone and
not quite an iPhone Pro.

Dell has dropped its pre-install toolbar deal with Google and
signed a new deal with Microsoft to pre-install Live Search on
its new laptops. Microsoft and Google are currently battling as

they're going to break out the corporate-sized ruler.

Facebook and YouTube have started adding support for "HD" video
uploading. It won't replace Blu-Ray on your plasma screen anytime
soon, but it's nice to be able to watch pointless videos in
higher resolution than ever before.

Digital artists were able to bring the famed lions of Trafalgar
Square to life. How? Well, if you said by projecting animated
faces onto the statues, then you're right.
