In a recent blog post by CNET's mobile phone editor, it is stated that 'there will be over 1.2 billion people using mobile broadband on mobile phones and laptops by 2012.' What interests the author and myself though isn't the huge number of people that will be browsing Google on their phones but how 'not being chained to a cable or wireless hotspot will create a real/virtual parallel so closely knitted it might be difficult to detach yourself from your phone or laptop even when interacting with other people or objects.' As someone who uses the Internet at home quite a lot I do wonder how high-speed mobile data access is going to affect my day-to-day life, and more importantly whether it will improve my relationships with other people or make the 'real' world seem more detached?

Finnish paper Iltasanomat reports that Reuters photograph of Russian submarine expedition was actually lifted from the movie Titanic.
The story is only in finnish, but you can compare the images there.
The Russian expedition used two Mir submersibles on the expedition. The same submersibles appear at the beginning of the movie.
Reuters obtainet the photo from russian RTR television channel. Both submarines of the expedition are visible in the photograph. I wonder how no-one thought to ask: Who took the picture?
