Slacker Radio looks to invade your vehicle
Slacker Radio, a popular online music streaming service, is looking to expand their services into automobiles. Thanks to a windfall of around $3 million, Slacker hopes to further their services beyond free and paid radio as well.
Slacker could be putting that money not only towards automobile implementation, which would have a leg up on competing sites like Pandora due to their license to cache music, but also could be bringing on-demand music sometime very soon. On-demand was supposed to hit at the end of January but has been pushed back due to unknown reasons. The newest expected realse date is sometime around the SXSW conference in March.

Webbox from Vodafone looks to bring the internet to emerging markets
The internet is obviously a global phenomenon, but there are many countries in the world without access due to cost and infrastructure concerns. Many companies are finding creative ways to deal with this problem, and Vodafone's Webbox keyboard looks to be a solid solution.
This around $100(749R) keyboard plugs into a TV via a set of standard RCA cables and is plug and play. Powering the Webbox up gives the user access to an Opera mini-browser, games, local news, and a text editor among other items via a 2G or 3G wireless connection. Data downloads at 90% compression and is a simple alternative to more expensive PCs. A 2GB SD card, 100mb of data, and a prepaid SIM are included in the $100 bundle.

1,000 free rollover minutes being given away by AT&T
Verizon's iPhone 4 has officially hit the market, and AT&T is showing their extreme gratitude to those who did not jump ship with a little treat: 1,000 free rollover minutes.
All AT&T customers can text "yes" to 11113020 to score the free rollover minutes which apparently will take about a month to process. This is a fine little gift and all, but is it really that exciting? With so many calls being free anymore, minutes are almost an afterthought to many customers. Oh well, free stuff is free stuff; especially if the only reason you aren't switching is that you can't afford to buy out of your current contract.

Wacky camera on the back of my head teacher removes cam citing pain
You may have seen some of the stories about the college professor at New York University that was doing an art project that had him mount a camera on the back of his head. The camera was going to shoot a photo every few minutes to post in a museum sponsoring the art.
The professor was Wafaa Bilal and he has announced that he had to have the camera on the back of his head removed because his body rejected it. One of the three titanium posts that was holding the camera on his head had to be removed via surgery last week.
The removal of the camera from his head has forced him to seek other means to take the photos. Might I suggest a backpack, or a necklace, or a Scarf, or just take the photos like a normal artist. "I'm determined to continue with it," Bilal told the Chronicle about "3rdi" which is described on his website as "a statement on surveillance, the mundane and the things we leave behind."
