A cellphone is a cellphone is a cellphone.

That is what my brother and many other people I know say when it comes to that gadget they have learned to trust with their lives.

Sure, I think to myself, as I smile and wonder how they are able to survive on those cellphones that look like they had seen better days.

Cellphones, like people, are ever-changing. And that is what makes them exciting gadgets to have and to own. Once a person stops learning, he stops living or so they say. The same goes for the stiff competition that cellphones face nowadays. It is precisely why, when a good model comes along, a newer and more improved model is re-launched in the market.

Take the Nokia N95 8GB.

The Nokia N95 8GB is simple to handle because the original N95 is so well known and has been written about so many times.

The original N95, it seems, was intended to be the last word in the classic S60 phone line. The N95 comes loaded with features like S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, with the combined Web/WAP browser and miniUSB connectivity; HSDPA, UPnP and Wi-Fi; a largish, recessed 2.6 inch screen; a five-megapixel still camera with great optics, light sensitivity and options, protected by a physical shutter and spoilt slightly by slow image processing and slow camera startup; a great VGA-resolution video recorder (producing good video images but only mono sound); a very full set of media software, with all audio and video codecs, video and image editing suites; online integration; the facility to work in portrait or landscape mode; and TV out for video echoing of any application or media item to a TV or other video equipment.

Foreword of Maximum PC Magazine issue January 2008 from Will Smith, Editor in Chief.

Have you ever heard of this thing called “the Internet”? It turns out that it’s a great platform for publishing information. Color me impressed! I think this “Internet” thing just may change the future of magazine publishing. Seriously though, I’m super-stoked to share the next phase of Maximum PC’s plans for world domination. First off, on MaximumPC.com we’re going to post time-sensitive content much, much earlier than we have in the past. Our current strategy of posting reviews months after everyone’s stopped caring is, admittedly, pretty lame. Starting with this issue, we’ll be posting our reviews online as soon as they’re written.

Most of the world’s Internet users lost access to YouTube for several hours after an attempt by Pakistan’s government to block access domestically affected other countries.

The outage Sunday highlighted yet another of the Internet’s vulnerabilities, coming less than a month after broken fiber-optic cables in the Mediterranean took Egypt off line and caused communications problems from the Middle East to India.

An Internet expert explained that Sunday’s problems arose when a Pakistani telecommunications company accidentally identified itself to Internet computers as the world’s fastest route to YoutTube. But instead of serving up videos of skateboarding dogs, it sent the traffic to oblivion.

If you want to promote your product or service, then consider using public relations. The best part of PR is that it costs nothing. In fact, public relations is one of the best kept secrets of small business owners who are successful. Use these powerful techniques to get picked up by local and national media.

1. Be an expert.

The media relies on experts for their information. The news that gets printed is only as credible as the source from which it comes. Begin by selecting a news related story to comment on. It should be a story that you are qualified to speak about, aligned with your area of expertise.

If your background is in engineering, and a building falls down, you are qualified to speak about the structure and answer possible engineering related questions. Being an expert simply means that you have a background in a specific area and can lend your expertise.

2. Research the reporter.

To get coverage, find the reporter who is covering the news you wish to comment on. For example, if the news is about a specific current event, then Google the current event name followed by the name of a popular newspaper like the Wall Street Journal or USA Today. You’ll quickly find the reporters who have written on the subject. Call the newspaper (contact information available on their website) and ask for the reporter by name. If the operation asks what your call is in reference to, simply state that you have information related to a specific news item.
