Perez Hilton Enraged Over Sidekick Outage, Palin-Autographed Xbox 360

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
- Apparently, T-Mobile Sidekick users have been without e-mail, IM, Web access and other data services since last week. Perez Hilton, obnoxious Web purveyor of useless vitriol, exhorted that "T-Mobile stock will likely go down on Monday," which would be incredible since T-Mobile is a subsidiary Of Deutsche Telekom and isn't publicly traded.

- Sarah Palin fever has somewhat subsided since the "I am not a quitter" politician resigned from office. Apparently unaware of loss of interest, a somewhat oblivious and late-blooming capitalist is attempting to sell a Palin-autographed XBox 360 for over $1 million on eBay. Despite the ludicrously exorbitant price, it will probably still pique more interest than her speaking engagements. [From: Geekologie]
- Various outlets are reporting that flavicons, the little symbols that represent companies, sites, and organizations, have been popping up in people's Gmail inboxes. The 'Enhanced Content' icons are intended to provide added scam prevention services, but, so far, have only appeared for Netflix and Baby Center messages. Baby Center? If the idea is truly for scam prevention, wouldn't a bank Web site seem like a better place to start? [From: Tech Crunch]
- Adobe is expected to announce today that it will unveil full Flash capabilities for most major smartphones. The video-viewing technology will reportedly take the route of MMS and cut-and paste, though, and will ambiguously make its way to the iPhone at some later, unnamed point. [From: Paid Content]
- Digg's Kevin Rose recently (hesitantly) revealed that the Web site is developing an iPhone app. Now (for the brazen and unabashed plug of the day), you won't have to wait to get home before you share with the world that awesome and hilarious new Switched post. [From: Arnteriksen]

Looks like Todd has gone the way of Sarah. He quit his job too. Is it because they are going to live off the income of Sarah's book? What will they do after that money is gone and no onw will want either one of them?
