While the Touch Wood ultimately never saw the light of day outside of its native Japan, another wooden smartphone is preparing to take the proverbial stage. The ADzero, as it's known, began its life as a concept design from a Middlesex University student named Kieron-Scott Woodhouse.... |
| Zuckerberg outlines idealistic Facebook mission in IPO filing Posted: 01 Feb 2012 03:10 PM PST Zuckerberg outlines idealistic Facebook mission in IPO filing  Zuckerberg outlines idealistic Facebook mission in IPO filing IPO filings aren't just a great way to raise money, they're also a perfect place for young CEOs and idealistic internet companies to grandstand and proclaim their altruistic motives.

It's a dating site much like OkCupid or eHarmony, and from the bowels of the website's collective online dating profiles, a company called Zoomerang harvested an interesting bit of data regarding who gets laid and which phones they own.
