Apparently terrorists used cellphones to detonate their bombs in those attacks last month in Riyadh that killed thirty five people, including nine Americans. Lest this news induce a new round of panic about cellphones and their risks (that they cause brain cancer or that they interfere with airplane navigation systems, etc), terrorists have been using pagers and radios to set off explosives for decades, and if they couldn't use cellphones, they'd just turn to one of those. Or they could just go back to using timers.

"Gizmodo is a weblog dedicated to everything related to gadgets, gizmos, and cutting-edge consumer electronics." - Are you into cutting edge bleeding technology? Are you a gadgetophile? Is that even a word? In any case, true techies will *love* this blog!

I just discovered it yesterday, after several hours of blog surfing, and I immediately added it to my favorites. I also used it as a springboard for a few Bits&Bytes articles yesterday, but forgot to properly credit the source. My apologies to the sysop of Gizmodo for that oversight.

Add it to your favorites/news aggregator/Bloglet subscription/PostIT notes/white board/whatever you use to track great sites, you'll be glad you did! (Peter) [Lockergnome Bytes]
