I travel a lot. And if you're a geek like me, you can't go a full day sans internet access without experiencing some severe withdrawal symptoms.

Its former ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Zaif is an iphone addict.

Call it comedy or irony, the threat was issued via cell phone.
The iPhone might as well be a telegraph compared to the Pomagranate. It has a universal translator, a la Star Trek. It makes coffee. And it has a built-in razor.

Chances are, you're fully aware that the number-placement logic game Sudoku is massively popular. But if you've been in a cave the past few years and need evidence, look no further than the 18 (and counting) versions of Sudoku apps available in the iTunes App Store, ranging in price from 99 cents to $10.
