<p>A new feature of Icrontic news is the "Shlongie." It has been bandied about in staff threads in our <a href="http://icrontic.com/forum/">amazing super-fantastic forum</a>. It's news that isn't quite so fleeting as a shorty, but isn't quite so important so as to dedicate a news post of its own. My friends, my countrymen, my eager peers! I give you the birth of the shlongie!</p>
<p>The oft-confused-as-Asian juggernaut Nokia has gained a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/nokia-grabs-40-of-global-handset-market-nets-2-6-billion-in-q/">whopping 40%</a> of the mobile handset market in 4Q07. </p>
<p>In the US, where the OLPC is supposed to land at long last, it seems there are delays. Like any eagerly-awaited product, people are grumpy that there <em>are</em> <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20080124/tc_pcworld/141790">delays</a>, and shouts of <b>rabble</b> ensue!</p>

<p>Yahoo! has long been an enemy to DRM. I can personally vouch for this having worked with former employees of their media division. It looks like Yahoo! is going for the gold on this one and will be releasing a catalog of tracks <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080124-long-time-drm-foe-yahoo-music-planning-drm-free-mp3-store.html">without DRM!</a> RAD!</p>
<p>Twenty-two communities in rural Vermont are <a href="http://wifinetnews.com/archives/008143.html">banding together</a> to get fiber deployed to their remote locations. Broadband for everyone!</p>
<p>Good night, Icrontic! I love you!</p>
