Its times like these that I am glad I live in Manhattan without a car. I rented a car two weeks ago and tried to check an email while I was driving and realized how distracting it was. I can only imagine if I was trying to type a response…

Frank just let me know that EA has released NASCAR 09 for the BlackBerry. The graphics are nothing to write home about but if you like NASCAR this should be for you. Sadly EA does not offer a trial for this pricey $14.99 game. I sent them an email complaining about it but I doubt [...]

I was just reading about Yotify on TechCrunch and I thought all of you might find it useful. Yotify essentially lets you track multiple things around the web and notifies you via RSS, email, or text message.

RIM posted their financial numbers for the past quarter yesterday and things look good. On the other hand RIM came in below analyst estimates so investors are not all happy.
