What a difference! I no longer feel like I’m dragging a phone with me “just in case” I would need to get in touch with somebody – now I’m having a useful (and admittedly pretty good-looking) gadget instead. The fact that you can use it as a phone too is kind of secondary.

Bing to reduce the amount of time IP addresses are stored→
From 18 months to six months in response to pressure from the EU.
The Article 29 committee, comprising data protection officials from all 27 E.U. countries, has asked the leading search engine makers to respond to their concerns by the end of this month.
According to their privacy FAQ, Google anonymises IP addresses “after 9 months”. However, this doesn’t mean all IP information is deleted after that:
Microsoft will delete all parts of the IP (Internet Protocol) address after six months, while Google still retains part of the address after its self-imposed nine-month cut-off point.
I wonder how Google will respond to the Article 29 committee.

Two versions of the Nexus One→
One to be sold unlocked via the Google website, the other with a T-Mobile contract. The reported release date of January 5 took me by surprise.
