iPhone Q&A for AT&T employees
From engadgetmobile.com:
Not a lot here, but for those clammoring for any possible news about the iPhone, we got our hands on an internal AT&T iPhone Q&A document. The highlights:
1. With an iPhone you’ll have access to Cingular’s MyAccount via the device as well as via iTunes.
2. Sorry, no pre-orders (yet).
3. If one wants to read tea leaves, it’s still probable there will be iPhone specific service plans.
4. “… no subsidies are being offered on the phone at this time.” You heard ‘em!
5. They will “allow” out of contract customers to sign up for two more years to get an iPhone.
More information from the original document are located at the link url.
It may not be “new” information, but I needed my iPhone fix, and finally fresh news came out.

TweetKURT RUSSELL: “LAST WORDS DISNEY WROTE WERE MY NAME.”
From contactmusic.com:
TweetActor KURT RUSSELL has confirmed the last two words movie mogul WALT DISNEY wrote before he died were the ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK star’s name.
It has long been rumoured that Disney penned ‘Kurt’ and ‘Russell’ just before he passed away in 1966. Russell was a child actor signed to the studio at the time.
During a recent appearance on US TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 56-year-old Russell confirmed the urban legend as fact.
He said, “It’s true. I don’t know what to make of that. I was taken into his office one time after he died and I was shown that.”
Google’s favorite videos
From google.com:
Dear Google Video uploaders, we are temporarily unable to accept new uploads. In the meantime, here are some of our favorite videos!
I just went to Google to upload a video I took of a wedding over the weekend and got the above message. I’m glad it was down – those videos are great, especially the one with the people singing the video game songs. But I couldn’t figure out the song they were singing while sticking their arms out and bending down. The song is very familiar to me but I just can’t place it. Help. The ones I recognized were Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat and Zelda.
