Sales records typically don't stand for too long without being overtaken by the next best thing, but somehow, Nokia's el cheapo 1100 handset has reportedly racked up "over 200 million sales" since it launched in 2003. You heard right, this low-end candybar has put the 100 million iPods , 50 million RAZRs , 10 million Chocolates , and 115 million PlayStation 2 consoles to shame in terms of sheer units moved. Interestingly enough, the design team that conjured up this cash cow originally dubbed it "Penny," and the stripped down, dust-proof mobile purportedly entered the market at precisely the right time to catch the booming overseas growth as folks worldwide began snapping up their own cellphone. Of course, such a basic, uninspiring phone isn't for everyone, but considering the 200 million strong that owned one sometime during their life, we'd say Nokia found a winner .

Az orrmandulaműtét elkerülésének egyik módja az arcüreg átmosása, avagy a rejtélyesen hangzó Proetz-kezelés. A kezelés magyarországi úttörői szerencsére hozzáférhetővé is teszik a módszert, igaz, jó pénzért. A kezelés során a cél még mindig az orrmelléküregben megülő makacs, akár évek, de legalábbis hosszú hónapok óta gyűlő váladék, a takony kivarázsolása. A kétségbeesett anyuka (esetünkben én ) fejvesztve szörföz és telefonálgat, hogy tessék mondani, mégis, van-e ennek értelme, és hogyan lehetne egy kicsit olcsóbban...
One evening, on a school night, when my daughter Mulan was nine, we were eating dinner together at our favourite Thai restaurant. It was autumn, over two years ago, and writing about it now I see that Mulan and I interacted much like two roommates. We ate out a lot.
