Fifty Ways To Use Your Cell Phone

from the it-slices,-it-dices dept

A very amusing NY Times article on ways to use your cell phone. Basically, the writer recounts conversations he's overheard of people on cell phones and (sarcastically) points out how useful those little devices are. Why write up a shopping list when you can just call the wife at home while you're cruising up and down the aisles at the local supermarket? Why leave a note on where tonight's chicken is stored when you can guide someone through your freezer remotely with your phone? It must be an awfully slow news day in the NY Times newsroom today.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
