Phone scalpers? A half-million iPhones sold in the first two days, but only 146,000 activations? Awfully pricey for a paperweight. "The difference is going to be what was sold on eBay or activations that didn't happen immediately." What a nice way of saying they were bought by speculators who intended to resell them at a profit, rather than activate them.

Full circle: New cans of Coca-Cola look a lot like old cans of Coca-Cola. No fake condensation droplets; no yellow and green accents; no drop shadows. What a wild, new, innovative idea.

New Coca-Cola cans are simpler! Also cheaper to print. (Wonder why none of the giant brains down at the AJC noticed that...)
On a shelf at work, I have an empty Coca-Cola can that is molded somewhat in the shape of the famous ‘wasp-waist’ Coca-Cola bottle. That was an experiment that was produced in small numbers, then dropped as ‘cute but not worth it.’

OK, for some bizarre reason, that link takes you to a graphic of 'Dark Dan' sitting on -- well, the can, not to a picture of a contoured Coke -- uh, can.
Sorry about that. DO NOT CLICK!
About Dark Dan's, uh, can: Some people feel so strongly about not having their images "hot-linked" by other websites that they configure their servers to deliver a different image if it's not being "called" from within their own site.
Anyway, here's an article from Beverage Digest with a picture of the contour can. And, here, for equal time, is a response from the Container Recycling Institute.
