The other day I noticed a new icon on the home screen of my Blackberry. It said “Poynt” and had no business being there. I said “go away” and the cocky little icon yawned before declining my request.

My Saturday morning had begun so perfectly. I woke up to sunshine and feelin’ groovy, my current wakeup tune on my Blackberry.

Regularly twice a year I receive nuisance calls from Vodafone, promising in perfect Chinese to reduce my mobile phone bill.
