Schmap, offers iPhone consumers new rotating city guides, local search and maps. These new map-services on the web allow you to feel a uniquely interactive experience: maps and guide content are dynamically integrated, allowing intuitive, real-time access to reviews and photo slideshows for places of interest.
Directing your iPhone Safari browser to www.schmap.com takes you to your Schmap homepage, where you can choose to browse through "City Guides" broken down by categories (restaurants, shopping, etc.) or search for local businesses in your area.
Schmaps gives you a unique opportunity to browse through their "City Guides." With the iPhone in portrait orientation, Schmaps presents a list of local businesses. But, turn the iPhone into the landscape (horizontal) orientation and Schmap will rotate the screen and list the businesses next to a map showing the location of each business.
Schmap's local search function is currently unavailable as the service is still in beta development. To see how it works, visit the site with your iPhone and enter access code 724627.
Schmap is a leading publisher of digital travel guides for 200 destinations throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The innovative technology behind Schmap Guides also lets end users publish their own ‘schmaps’ (to share trip itineraries, local reviews and more), and powers a popular range of Schmap Widgets, displaying maps with content and event schedules for travel, sports, concert tours and more on a fast-growing network of websites and blogs. Founded in 2004, Schmap is privately owned and based in Carrboro, North Carolina.

Apple's iPhone is expected to
enter Canadian market. Unfortunatly exact date is not announced but it seems to be nice when service get wider. So do Rogers Communications Inc.
. Ted Rogers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Communications Inc. on tuesday issued the following statement: “We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year. We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned.”
Demand for Apple's iPhone is very hight not only in canada I mean worldwide. Russia makes it fashionable and phone appears trendy the latest must-have for Russia's elite, numbering about 500,000 in all in the country already. This is despite the US$700 price that iPhones sell for in that country. Of course, this is nothing compared to the $1,800 it sold for when it was first launched in the US.
I see Apple's iPhone does not gives up. Repid market share and hight distribution lives it’s results - people like it so much. So we have to be patient and wait for the next announcement but may be iPhone already brouhgt to canada. Who knows? Even Ted Rogers keeps silent.

Pilar Stofega, a 34-year old resident of Waterford, Connecticut, was charged with the attempt to destroy her ex-lover’s marriage by using internet. She planned to achieve this by creating profiles of her lover’s current wife on some adult websites, inserting there the latter’s mobile and work phone numbers and her picture.
Stofega has claimed in the court, her aim was “to be vindictive, knowing that the profiles would create marital problems” in the ex-lover’s family. Indeed, that happened after a strange man began disturbing the victim on home phone, insisting he had seen her profile on an adult site.
The victim’s husband, whom Pilar Stofrega was in love with 8 years ago, discovered his wife’s profiles on several web sites, and after some more deliberation, he found out who exactly was behind this striking revenge. After realizing that all this was done by a woman he dated in 1999, the shocked husband immediately submitted all the information to the Waterford police.
The police seized Stofrega’s internet records after getting a court order and arrested her last week for breaching of peace and second-degree harassment. Stofrega was released after paying $ 2500 bond; however her case is to be reviewed by the New London Superior Court this Monday.

Monkeys are a lot of fun, but sometimes they may go real wild. There is an acquaintance of mine whose finger was tore away by a monkey in a zoo. But things may get worse than that.
Last Sunday wild monkeys attacked New Delhi's deputy mayor. The poor man then fell from a balcony. The senior governor was rushed to a hospital after the attack but unfortunately it was far beyond the doctors power to save the victim's life.
Really weird news. Watch out monkeys if India's on your travel plan.

There are millions of sites in the world. However, did you ever think which are the most strange sites ever existed? Well, there are some of them introduced to you through this article.
First of all, we should mention the
“something” website. It has absolutely nothing except a word “Something” written against the plain white background. Well, we remind you that the
“something” site, alongside with millions of other websites is paying to reserve a domain, so why the webmasters are spending so much money to have just one word written is beyond understanding.
Well if lovers are angry on each other, one of them most probably will use the well-known
“I am sorry” site, and send a postcard to his/her lover. However, there also exists the
“I am very very sorry” site. Although it doesn’t have the postcards to send, it has the words “I am sorry” written against a black background. Its very interesting what the webmaster did with his lover, so that he was compelled to create such website.
If u have a lot of debts, and you don’t know where to get money, take the example of
Karyn- a young lady whose debt is about 20 thousand $. On the website , she is asking for help to pay the money back.
If you are searching for a criminal, the site
"Criminal News" is the right address for you. The site contains a list of all criminals arranged in alphabetical order. (Hope you will not find your name included in it).
One of the most striking websites is the American site of the
“political graveyard”. the site includes information, about the place where US politicians are buried. Doubtful, if someone will search for X politician on the site and go to visit his grave.
Habbo is a site representing a hotel. There you can walk, meet people, visit a disco, and return to your room. However, the purpose of the site is vague. It’s even hard to explain the essence of the site normally. Just you should see it yourself.
Bill Gates is envied by a lot. However some people take surprising steps to demonstrate it all over. For example, the webmaster of
" Make me richer than Bill Gates" is asking for help to become richer than Bill Gates. In the site he is explaining his aims and the way he decided to achieve his goal.
If you are a bit less rich than Bill Gates, and at the same time suffer from the weak heart, it’s not recommended for you to visit the site containing nothing but a GIF picture of thousands of dollars.
see the site here
And finally- we should inform you, that it occurred to be very easy to check how much you cost. The site
“Human for Sale” will easily evaluate you, according to your physical (age, eye, race, etc.) and mental (education, wishes, hobby, etc…) characteristics. Well, we can guess too much visitors left the site a bit disappointed.
