Just when I thought my favorite locally circulated tech magazine has gone defunct, I went inside our neighborhood 7-11 to buy a bottle of my favorite apple-flavored green tea and, lo and behold, I saw copies of the March 2009 issue of Tomorrow's Technology Today, or T3.

I was totally stoked. I searched far and wide for the non-existent February issue last month and was convinced that the mag's local franchise has indeed been buried six feet under. But there it was. Megan Fox Young holding the Palm Pre on the cover. T3. Resuscitated. Hallelujah.

The comeback issue, as already mentioned, features the Palm Pre, touted as the ultimate iPhone killer. Really now? If anything, it only reinforces the iPhone's reputation as a piece of technology to be reckoned with. I find it quite amusing that in this issue bearing a so-called iPhone killer on the cover, the iPhone makes an appearance every five or so pages.

Between its features on the new wristphone from LG and its showdown of handheld game consoles, the article on tech gone horribly wrong entitled When Gadgets Attack was a particularly fun read. It recounts the story of the Y2K Bug, the ZTE-NBN scandal and the man who was arrested for shooting his allegedly sluggish laptop in the middle of a bar. Those stories pale in comparison though to that of America's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan, former US president George W. Bush and the gyroscopically geeky Segway.

Segway tumbles
After George W Bush fell from his Segway in 2003, former Mirror editor Piers Morgan ran the headline: "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off, wouldn't you Mr President?" Three years on, Morgan fell from a Segway, breaking three ribs. Takes one to know one, Morgan. (T3 Philippines, March 2009, p. 74)
