    *Cause they have Mickey Mantle?*
    
    *No, it's 'cause the other teams can't stop staring at those damn pinstripes.*

Its not just the US. A man in Australia once patented a "circular transportation facilitation device", yes a wheel!

Cellphones are everywhere in India. Practically everyone already has a cellphone, or is going to get one this week. Text Messages (locally called SMS) are often free, or are dirt cheap. It is common even for low-wage workers (day labourers, porters, gardeners) to have cell-phones in India. This is, in part because the landline infrastructure is very poor and unreliable, and a open economy has meant that cellphone operators have been able to provide good service for really competitive rates.

Why is the DaringFireball article here? and why does it have a 100 votes? The guy has just quoted the Wired article without adding anything on his own?
