Hello, friends! Here is a round up of this week's top Byte-Sized stories:
British dermatologists have released findings that show that prolonged exposure over time to the nickel and nickel alloys in cell-phone faces can cause an allergic reaction in the form of a rash. Seriously, you can get a rash on your face if you talk too much. Tell that one to your inordinately verbose friend next time she won't hang up.
Microsoft officials stated Mac users pay a hidden 'Apple tax' to configure their notebooks to run Windows, but the question is why, if they want Windows, don't they just get a PC?
Prada has introduced its second-gen phone that comes equipped with a QWERTY keyboard. No word on whether the new model comes with a Prada carrying case, but I'd take the phone and this Fairy bag any day. Assuming I won the lottery, paid off all my bills, bought a new car and literally had money left to burn. Cost for just the phone: $850.
The Flip Mino, awesome camcorder and my current favorite gadget ever, has gotten even more awesome with a new service available online where users can design and customize their Mino with photos and/or logos. What a sweet company gift that would be, right? Hint, hint. Plus, if someone decides your design is too cool and wants it for their Mino too, you get a $10 royalty check from Flip! Now this is a community I can get behind. Stay tuned for a review of this new feature next week!
That's all for me this week, folks. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Catch you on the flip side!
