Magnetic Field Is Fading, but No Dire Effects Are Foreseen. Geophysicists increasingly wonder whether the magnetic field has begun one of its occasional reversals that, over time, might lead to compasses pointing south instead of north. By Kenneth Chang.

A lazyweb request after reading this:  Someone should register the domain "phoneswap.org", and build a quick website (no - not a business) that does two things:  1) acts as a clearinghouse where you can post the phone/technology (and carrier if it's locked) that you have, and the carrier/technology that you're switching to, and 2) has a community-supported "how to" on helpful hints for swapping contacts - perhaps even technology-assisted.  If you just want to get rid of an unused phone or other device or pda, you could be offered the option instead to formally accumulate whuffie.
