The Internet is a Series of Tubes – Senator Ted Stevens in 2006 – wiki.
The bad news, is that one of those tubes which is actually undersea, suffered some kind of damage today and caused a few problems: 70% of Egypt didn’t have access to the net, while in India and Gulf Arab, the bandwidth was cut down to less than 50%.

Number of iPhones unlocked? Many
According to Toni Sacconaghi – analyst at Bernstein Research – there are about 1 million iPhones that were sold and are not being used with the AT&T network, which obviously means that they were unlocked and are currently being used on other networks. In other words, 27% of the iPhones don’t have a relationship with AT&T.
Taking in consideration that AT&T made a big contract with Apple to get the exclusive phone deal, these studies are definitely bad news for both parties involved. In the end, people that don’t stay with AT&T after buying the iPhone, aren’t making carrier payments, which results in a big loss for Apple.

Asus begins shipping Eee PCs with Windows XP in Japan
It’s no small secret that Asus made waves with their super-small Eee PC. It has so many good things going for it that one has difficulty focusing on the negative. No, you won’t find me ranting and raving about a small hard drive or the fact that it runs Linux, I think it’s great that they’ve managed to make something this great that runs under $400. However, if you’re still hung up on the lack of Windows, don’t worry, as it will soon be an option.
