- Nokia plans to shut down one of its largest stores in London. We guess the lingering recovery of the UK economy is behind the extreme measure, plus it´s not a secret the manufacturer has been losing market share for quite some time now and is trying to optimize its costs.

- Smart Alarm is a surprisingly interesting application for the iPhone. The program is actually able to wake you up earlier if the weather conditions have deteriorated since the time you´ve set it, say, if it starts raining or snowing while you´re asleep, meaning you might be late for school or work unless you wake up earlier. You can get the program for $1.99. (source: ai.rs)
