'Smart' Phones
LA Times:
The Risk for iPhone Users: They Know Too Much - "Apple Inc.'s iPhone, which went on sale nine months ago, isn't the only so-called smart phone that provides itinerant access to the Web. But its wide screen and top-quality browser make it easy to use and read, which means it can in seconds change a lighthearted conversation into the Pursuit of Truth." (via

My two cents? Never interrupt a good conversation by insisting that someone is wrong/lying. The art of conversation does not include the 'Pursuit of Truth'. It's about an interchange of expression and communication. If a lie/error sounds good in a conversation and the crowd is enjoying it, just go along with it. To do anything else is to be perceived as a kill-joy or an a-hole. (If you want to privately follow-up with someone on an issue, feel free, of course. Don't use a public conversation as a vehicle to correct someone or elevate yourself as all-knowing.)
