The Healing Power Of Banana Peels
Apparently banana peels are a kind of miracle drug, and I'm just now finding out about it. Since I'm not a big fan of medicine, I'm really excited about this.

Nokia Is Alive & Kickin: Achievements In Mobile Technology
When I read last week that Nokia had settled its lawsuit with Apple, I was shocked at the amount of money Nokia would receive.
