Nokia Siemens is going to demo HSPA+ Multiflow — a new cell tech that lets phones talk to two cell towers at once — at Mobile World Congress. It's the first time that the tech, which can apparently double data speeds, will be shown working on stuff you might actually be able to buy.
Gordon Ramsay recently caused a serious spud-related security scare over at Brixton Prison where he’s teaching inmates how to cook for a new show.

The 60.2-metre superyacht Yogi sunk under a Force 8 storm in the Mediterranean Sea. This video shows the Hellenic Air Force rescuing the passengers in the middle of the gale. It took only seven hours to sink after the authorities got the first mayday, according to the builder Mehmet Karabeyoglu:
Networks are clearing their store shelves of Sony Ericsson gear, all the while the newest Sony-only kid on the block has peeped its head above the parapet, ready for your pre-order.
In the four-and-a-half months Giz UK's been live, we've seen over 26,000 comments -- a number most UK tech sites would take years to accumulate.

Zeppelins are actually quite an impressive species of aeronautical engineering—you know, when they aren't on fire. That's especially true considering the level of technological prowess in the 1920's. Our friends at Oobject have assembled 12 shots of these magnificent air-borne cruisers before they ever lifted off.
26-year-old Glenn Mangham, who admitted hacking Facebook from within his bedroom at his parents' house in York, has been jailed for eight months. At least it now means he's moved out of mum & dad's house.
