I, T-shirt: Wearable Movie Trailers at NextFest

"In The Hollywood Reporter today, an item about t-shirts that display movie trailers -- as seen at both E3 and NextFest last week.

Coming soon to a T-shirt near you: trailers for 'I, Robot,' starring Will Smith. In the never-ending search to capture the attention of consumers bombarded by commercials, billboards and a massive array of other advertisements, 20th Century Fox debuted an innovative new guerilla marketing tactic at E3 last week -- T-shirts embedded with video screens that played 'I, Robot' trailers.

Explain RSS in 10 Words or Less

"An exercise in clarity: RSS (Signal vs. Noise)

I'm definitely adding this one to my RSS class, and I'm going to see what the participants come up with by the end of the class!

"LG says that’s it — there will be no more cellphones with monochrome screens from them, and that every handset they make, no matter how low-end, will have color LCDs (like their new VX3200, pictured at right). Can you believe that it was only just a couple of years ago that even having a color screen on a cellphone was a big deal?" [Engadget]

Ditto - I didn't think they still sold cell phones with black & white screens.
