Briefs: Spending on Cell Phone Services Rapidly Approaching That of Residential; Numbering Yahoo Results; Future Phishing Techniques

+ Beware: Future Phishing Techniques (via Forbes)

+ Spending on Cell Phone Services Rapidly Approaching That of Residential Phone Services
More stats for your "mobile is the future" and the "future is now" files.

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) show that cellular phone expenditures increased rapidly from 2001 through 2006. Coupled with a decrease in spending on residential landline phone services (residential phone services) over the same period, spending on the two types of services were practically equal in 2006.

Expenditures for cellular phone services per consumer unit rose from $210 in 2001 to $524 in 2006, an increase of 149 percent. Expenditures for residential phone services per consumer unit fell from $686 in 2001 to $542 in 2006, a decline of 21 percent.

+ Yahoo Stops Numbering Results (Greg Notess, Search Engine Showdown)
Note: Using the MSN Numbering Bookmarklet (in the other useful bookmarklet section) on this page will also work with Yahoo (one page at a time)* and MSN/Live.com.
* You can always set your default # of results to more than 10.
