Free Calls (sorta)
Dec 2nd
I purchased Walkietalkie on the iPhone for $1.99 last week. The application allows you to easily connect to the application on a Mac or Pc to talk for free. I know there are applications like Skype that do the same thing but both people are usually on a computer. I like this because I can be on the street somewhere talking to a friend in Taiwan that is on their computer or iPhone. Since my ATT iPhone plan has unlimited data I can bank tons of minutes by using walkietalkie. The application is extremely simple (under 700kb on a mac) but that is the beauty of it. Simple, stable and fast.
Check it out if you have an iPhone and can convince some friends and family to download the free tiny application to talk to you. Send me your username if you install and want to chat.
Music in a Bottle
May 20th
Bit, a German beverage company has an interesting website. Music in a bottle allows customers to discover new artists after they have purchased their drink. Much like Delicious library a webcam becomes a barcode scanner. Simply hold your bottle up to the camera, let them scan and the music starts playing. Somewhat of a gimmick but I can see plenty more promotions of this sort coming. Maybe I can buy products from Amazon by scanning an empty bottle?

I’m not sure exactly what will be going on here but it sounds like they may be on to something. The internet is becoming more and more visual.
Get your FBI file
Oct 18th
The FBI will give you the first 100 pages of your file for free. I suppose that if you have more than 100 pages in your file you have been keeping some interesting company or saying some catch phrases on the telephone. The forms are easy to prepare on getmyfbifile.com
