When Cellphones Become Webservers

An anonymous reader writes "Nokia is experimenting with turning mobile phones into webservers, according to an interesting article on Linux Devices. Nokia has ported the Apache webserver and a few other software modules to the Symbian OS that runs its phones, but there shouldn't be any barrier to adapting the technique to Linux mobile phones, since it all appears to be released under Linux-friendly open source licenses. Just think of the possibilities of having a webserver in your pocket!"

Is that a web server in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Or even better:
Is that a bittorrent tracker in my pocket, or are you just happy to sue me?

At least now when the police raid your torrent server, everyone can call and tell them they're pissed.

I can see the headlines

I feel it's nuts.

If you think grammar is unimportant, just think what the absence of an apostrophe would do to the above sentence.
