Earlier in June, we wrote how Russians will use SMS to find out if their booze are legit — after last year about 40,000 people died in the country from toxic alcohol surrogates. Not sure when this actually started happening, but just a few days one of the Russian Vodka makers, Kristall, started using this clever tactic. In case you’re sober enough, you should check the special sticker on the cap of the bottle and send the containing numeric code to the Kristall Vodka SMS verification service. Every bottle has a unique ID and the sticker is damaged when the cap is opened, so it cannot be used twice. Following the “grand opening” you will… I’m sure you can take it from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
