Latvia Hosts Phone Throwing Championship
I guess it's a sign that the mobile phone has become ubiquitous when someone holds a mobile phone throwing contest. That's right, over in Latvia they want to know just how far you can throw your mobile phone. What's scary is that the report says the winner only tossed his phone 54.9 meters, well short of the world record of 66.72 meters (which was done throwing a Nokia 5110, for those of you interested). They keep records on these things?
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.
