After a Foxconn factory worker had adorable snapshots of her discovered in a brand new iPhone and posted all over the internet, many worried that she would be fired--or you know, worse. A Foxconn rep told a Chinese newspaper that "she is definitely not fired," and that the pictures were test photos "accidentally" left on the iPhone. He didn't comment on the number of lashings she received. I'm glad that all worked out, I wouldn't ...

"Condom!" is a free ringtone for your phone. It's being promoted in India as part of a campaign to normalize condom use, but there's no reason you can't put it on your own phone to impress and amaze fellow diners, bus riders, church goers, etc. It's also catchy! [Crave]

I think this is an interesting approach, because most other approaches focus on either a laptop or a PDA when looking to give equipement to students.
