The estimated percentage of cellphones that were recycled in 2007.
The EPA estimated that of the 126.3 million cellphones disposed of in 2007, only 14 million -- about 10 percent -- were recycled. The rest? Landfill heaven. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Alright, usually I'm defending you guys in these articles. The iPhone is a big deal in the tech world right now and there is a large community committed to hacking the thing. It helps that this community is more vocal than say, Motorola hackers. These non-stories are starting to get old. I want to catch iPhone/Apple stories so please don't tell me to subscribe to the stripped feeds. I agree with MatthewJ that this has already been covered. Everyone that didn't think their phone would "survive" the upgrade is naive -- you don't need to post pandering to the two ignorant people out there.
Dude, I understand your not wanting to be inundated with these seemingly pointless iPhone articles that headline: Steve Jobs Uses the iPhone. But, I mean, seriously, this phone has sold 1,000,000+ times since its launch. That means there are a substantial amount of users out there with varying levels of cellular expertise and would like to updated on these things.
I mean, I have not sold enough organs to buy an iPhone yet, but I still find these things interesting. Hell, I'm sure these "little" articles greatly influence those who are on the fence regard their purchase.

Also, in my attempts to get an iPhone, I accidentally sold BOTH kidneys--it appears my tally count was off--if anyone just happens to have an extra kidney laying around, could yah hit me up? It'd be much appreciated. Also, I promise, this kidney won't find its way on the blackmarket and profits in my iPhone fund.
well by that logic most articles would be about nokia s40 or s60 unlocking.
but anyways, this is the more intresting part, what happens with 3rd party and hacking. couldn't care less about wifi music shop..
Ohh, Lassi, that's right, by my logic, all articles would be about s40 and s60 unlocking because we all know that they all come locked to one network and are made by one major associated-with-innovation company.
If you're going to try to belittle someone, at least have an analogy that fits the bill.

Also, tangentially related, the Apple update shutting down unlocked iPhones is a featured article on Yahoo!. I think this is a good sign. Be for or against Apple and/or the iPhone and/or AT&T, it's great that news involving cell phones--and unlocking, no less--are articles of import.
