Yesterday will.i.am made a quick run through the town of Taunton with the Olympic torch in hand. The London Olympics are only a few months away, and thousands of lucky people will be carrying torches throughout the UK. The Olympic torch wasn't the only torch in-hand however. will.i.am was also clutching his trusty BlackBerry Torch and managed to crank out a few Tweets along the way.

The Olympic torch will be making it's rounds for another few weeks until landing back in London for the start of the games on July 27th.

From the Editor's Desk: Always Look on the Bright Side of (BlackBerry) Life
The London 2012 Olympics are officially over. I always love watching the Olympics, so was sad to see them come to an end. Like the opening ceremonies, the closing ceremonies proved entertaining. Hell, even the Spice Girls reunited for the night to heat things up. I also got a chuckle when Eric Idle, of Monty Phython comedic fame, rolled out of a cannon and took to the stage to sing...
