Posted by Avi on August 3rd, 2008

A Japanese girl wearing a dress playing metal. Her face is not visible, only her legs (thing), dress and guitar.

Interesting!

FCC 700 MHz winners update

Posted by Avi on March 22nd, 2008

AT&T and Verizon won the 700 MHz auction. It was quite obvious it is not going to remain a secret for long.
