A teenager in France had an iPhone and it exploded, sending a shard of debris in to his eye. In England, the iPhone ‘jumped into the air’ after it was dropped. I’m seriously not making it up. Look up exploding iPhones in the NYT. The article says that the phones overheated and then exploded. Be careful how close you hold your iPhone to your face if it starts feeling warm…

In Bing’s second month, it continues to grow in usage and market share. Now people are just wondering if Bing can sustain this type of rapid-growing usage. Especially when the heavy marketing campaign dies down. Actually, I’m getting pretty sick of seeing the commercials for Bing at the movie theaters. We will see. Read more about Bing at NYT.

NYT Technology section says that Bing brings credibility to Microsoft. Interesting article. See if you can find the word “Googley” in the article. That really cracked me up. :o)

It’s days like today when I read things like Facebook messages to become public by default makes me all the more confident that it was the right thing when my husband and I deleted our Facebook accounts over a year ago. People ask ‘why would you do that?’ and say ‘you should get back on Facebook’ but really…I’m just so thankful that I’m not on there anymore. And when I read article like that, it reminds me that we did the right thing.
