So, Flickr extends it’s programme to give Pro accounts away to charities. Forgive me for being a cynic, how are charities really going to benefit from unlimited Flickr space? I’m fairly cynical about charities at the best of times, but the idea seems a bit hollow.
Go - download the new Nine Inch Nails album, The Slip for free. It’s old school NIN, not in the vein of Ghosts. A nice addition to their catalogue. Available in different encoding flavours too. Loving Echoplex

Verizon are reportedly launching the LG VX9100 enV2 later today. What a dodgy name, what a dodgy design. I’m sorry - having a feature that reads texts to you in a form factor like this? What were they thinking? Too business-featured for the vanilla user and too clunky for everyone else.
