Vader vs. Yoda

Most countries and languages appear to have the force in balance.  But why so much Darth Vader in Hungary? 

And why so much Yoda in Australia?

Dial those annoying phone numbers with words on a smartphone

Every time I saw a phone number ONLY posted in its WORD equivalent, like Cisco's 800-553-24HR, I thought "Great, how can I dial that on my Blackberry?"  And I'd start trying to recall 2=abc, 3=def, etc...

Did you know you can just dial it that way?  While dialing, the letters usually don't work, so try the 'Alt' key you'd normally use for that key's alternate function.  Sure enough!  My phone takes 80055324HR, so I push send and it's dialing 800-553-2447.

Sweet!
