Moreover, it's a Nokia phone. which in its self is not all that special but. it is an older phone in that photo, unless that is not the actual phone.

and Nine Inch nails pulled the same stunt which the release of Year Zero awhile back.

]]> <![CDATA[Professor De Marco The Curious Cell Phone: Part 2]]> Just remember, leave that cell phone or yours on at ll times. Swallow it if you must. Cell Phones can be used as primitive GPS units, so it is possibile to track someone by cell phone alone. I'm not saying that its easy, but its possible.
And Yes, "Dead Drop" is a term for a location where informatino is too be pased without anyone seeing it. Have you tried looking up your cell phone number on the internet? If its an escort service, contact them and inform them that you are not the "escort" or the creepy calls from old men at 2AM will begin and never stop. (I've had that happen before)

GTAIV Marketing most likely, or some gaming thing.

This is moderately exciting, and not particularly dangerous regardless if the cell phone was sent by some random parson. Knowing where you live, I'm sure they'd know you would post here, and they wouldn't do anything to you with so many eyes watching.

Unless they're sacrificing themselves and to spread some kind of message to this audience. No worries.

CyOps

]]> <![CDATA[Professor De Marco The Curious Cell Phone: Part 2]]> I think people are overlooking one other possibility. He gets in this car and then the driver just takes him home or someone unimportant. Then, the next day, the front page news has a picture of Flynn entering a mysterious car and uses this as proof of some sort of scandal. After Flynn is out of the picture (presumably to jail), they have their mole apply at the Kotaku Tower to replace Flynn. This is just the first step into the takeover of Kotaku, mark my words.

But who could this shadowy figure organizing everything from behind the scenes? Maybe CNet wants a replacement for their crumbling Gamespot? Maybe Sony wants revenge for leaking Home? Maybe, but my suspicions run deeper. I fear it is the Unholy alliance of Rupert Murdoch and Jack Thompson.

I'll be back with some more of my theories, right after I get some tin foil and construct a hat. I'll also be looking to see if I can find a stylish trench coat and glasses.

]]> <![CDATA[Professor De Marco The Curious Cell Phone: Part 2]]> The Nintendo Wii Ambassador event was similar to this in Denver. 30 people received text messages instructing them to be at an intersection in the Metro-Denver area in 1 hour. Everyone showed up at a street corner, a hummer/limo pulled up with paper over the windows. We surrendered our cell-phones (they gave us claim tickets) and were driven around for a few minutes. They dropped us off in an alley behind an art studio where we enjoyed Pizza, Beer, and the Nintendo Wii a few months before it was released to the public. To the best of my recollection, only one person died, but he knew the risks.
