2:40 PM -- Some afternoon headlines:

• Tip of the cap to the BBC reporter Mark Ward for actually paying attention to ENUM and listing a new ENUM directory in the U.K. as a top technology development in 2007.
  
  
• You can have your Nintendo cake and eat it, too.
  
  
• IBM's technology predictions for the next five years were probably written by my wife: "New technology will allow you to snap a picture of someone wearing an outfit you want and will automatically search the web to find the designer and the nearest shops that carry that outfit."
  
  
• From The Associated Press review of Clearwire's pre-WiMax network: "Coverage is far from complete, and it's still too expensive." Yeah, we told ya so.
