High tech solution for the curmudgeonly:
-----Original Message----- From: Peter Brantley Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 8:36 PM an interesting design concept for a cell phone, from a contest sponsored by LG Electronics - http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/lgs-concept-phone-contest-winners-sho uld-please-art-house-gadge/ "The winner ... was the above-pictured Planet Phone, the surface of which is dotted with LEDs representing your friends; if you don't talk to someone for a while, their light gradually moves out to the edge. It's supposed to remind you to keep in touch, but it has darker connotations -- if you become angry with someone, you can revel in the pleasure of watching them slowly tick away into oblivion."
