Today at MWC Sony Ericsson officially announced the Alona, which will be sold under the W980 moniker. The latest Walkman phone brings 8GB of internal storage, better sound quality, which is supposed to be true to the original recording. Also built-in is an FM transmitter that grants you to send whatever you’re listening to to any other device that has an FM receiver. That’s a pretty nifty feature. SE Walkman phones are generally good and this looks to be a great addition that has a 3.2-megapixel camera with 3.2x digital zoom, TrackID, Shake control, stereo Bluetooth, video streaming, video calling and it appears that you can tether it as well.
The UMTS/HSDPA/GSM/GPRS Walkman phone will be available Q3.

Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? That’s one of many, many questions that arose in my mind when I saw this art exhibit in France that’s made up of 10,000 “Canburgers.” And no, these aren’t just purchased from the place we found the originals in, they were specially commissioned by the artist, Mike Bouchet. And it just went up a month ago. What. The. Hell. Let’s unravel this mystery, super sleuths.
I think there’s got to be some connection between this exhibit and the for-sale canburgers, as the exhibit says that Bouchet contacted a meat-canning company in Germany to develop the product for him, and the original canburger is sold from a German site. Could it be that the canburger was initially dreamt up as some sort of commentary on sustainable food but was deemed to be such a swell idea that the German company just ran with it?
That would explain why such a ridiculous item was unceremoniously placed up for sale on an otherwise-straightforward camping food site, wouldn’t it? I mean, once they figured out how to make such a product for the artist, why wouldn’t they offer it up for sale?
Or maybe two different people came up with the idea for a cheeseburger in a can at the same time. Either way. [Galerie Vallois]

I’m all for a little snark in advertising. Heck, if it weren’t for snark I’d be out of a job. But I saw this on a sign here at MWC last night and I kind of think it’s really mean. It says: I know it’s last minute, but my other friends have blown me out and […]

It says:
I know it’s last minute, but my other friends have blown me out and I’m so desperate that, as a last resort, I thought I’d see what you losers 
were up to
Who is this from/to? A Heather to a Heather?

So we were in a room in the basement of a church. There were more people stuffed in than there should have been. There was no place to sit, lean, or kneel. We stood rigid as we got our instructions on how to caucus, and it turns into a popularity contest. The worst part is […]
So we were in a room in the basement of a church. There were more people stuffed in than there should have been. There was no place to sit, lean, or kneel. We stood rigid as we got our instructions on how to caucus, and it turns into a popularity contest. The worst part is Newsweek is calling today “Significant Saturday”, to counter “Super Tuesday”. It was chaotic and analog. Maybe those touchscreen and electronic poll advocates have something.
So that brings the question of digital voting. CrunchGear readers: Will you trust computerized voting machines this year? Or would you rather have paper? The comments are open, what do you think?

The chaps at Unwired View spotted this poster up at one of the locations for next week’s Mobile World Congress 2008. The image shows a sexy LG number, sporting the KF700 moniker. We agree with the folks at Unwired View; the KF700 looks care about it will be a fully touchscreen handset as it appears too compact to boast a QWERTY keyboard, but as we cannot see the depth, we might very well be wrong. Other than the speculation, there is nothing else to comment on. Well, at least our appetites have now been moistened—bring on the show. [Unwired View]

To coincide with the new GTA IV site (I’m guessing anyway), one of the original developers for Grand Theft Auto has put up a ton of photos of his team and all the stuff they’ve worked on. There’s some cool GTA stuff like that above, shots of the nerds themselves, and most importantly for me, […]

There’s some cool GTA stuff like that above, shots of the nerds themselves, and most importantly for me, a bunch of stuff from Body Harvest, a game I’m about to go home and play like right now. Check it out.
