I have a clock on my digital TV box, on the bottom of my computer and on my Berry. My Berry also reminds me of appointments and dates. I just don’t need a watch any more. If I do wear one it is for show. So, we found this cool article that says...

Par 72 Review: Hitting the Sweet Spot

I’m not a great golfer. Actually, that’s an exaggeration. I’m a terrible golfer. But I have on occasion experienced the joy of hitting the sweet spot, that delicious smack between club and the ball that tells you it’s going to fly just where you intended. Can’t get to the golf course today? You could take your BlackBerry, respond to emails and pretend you’re still at the office. No? Well then try...

If you have been addicted to Crackberry as long as I have, you will remember using the classic 950 model back at the turn of the century.  Back then, Blackberries were more like glorified pagers then the hi-tech multimedia devices they are today.  I remember the first one I had.  I had it set to the "da da di di da da di <bzz> <bzz>" tone and vibrate notification when I...
