Ever wish you could send out a voice message to a group of people in your contacts list? Thanks to a neat site that I
discovered on Lifehacker, this is now possible! With
Dial My Calls, you can send one message to all your friends for things like sharing an announcement, telling them there's been a change of plans, or reminding them of an upcoming event.
This is definitely one of those studies that doesn't surprise me. An Australian study has shown that over 50 percent of third- and fourth-year high-school students aren't getting enough sleep because they
are too busy playing games, watching TV, listening to their iPod, or chatting on the phone.
It was the males who were found glued to their video games, TVs, or media players, while the females couldn't get enough gab time in on their telephones.
I love
retro-tech accents, and this pink telephone is definitely hitting all the right buttons for me. Do you have an old-school telephone in your house?

It may seem intuitive now, but when dial telephones first hit the scene, peeps needed a tutorial on how to use them. It was customary to have an operator do all the work up until that time, so the simple act of dialing for one's self was quite a task. The following vid was shown in movie theaters to educate the public on how to use the new self-serve telephones.
I love a phone that looks
retro chic, yet boasts all the features of a modern
telephone. Just like this 1920s and 30s inspired phone by
Hulger that uses
bluetooth technology to connect to your
PC,
Mac or
cell phone. It is also fully compatible with
Skype.
If
retro phones aren't enough for you, how about one that is completely decked out with an assortment of colorful objects? This
Glitz n' Glam Phone is actually for sale on Etsy and probably weighs about fifty pounds with all the additional
bling. Displayed on
7Gadgets, this $50 phone comes with flowers, fruit, a black poodle, Eiffel Tower, ballerina, frog, a pink miniature phone and a bunch of other random charms, which to me look like hard candy from my grandmother's house.
Ooo la la. Feast your eyes on the
luscious lips telephone. For those who couldn't care less about phones jam packed with special features, but love funky
retro gadgets, this phone may appeal to you.
