    I saw it in Westwood (a trendy part of Los Angeles) and there was a video crew filming fan reactions outside the theater.

    I suspect I won't make the final edit for the commercial.

  3. Re:How does this work? on Spammed by Bluetooth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Worse than vCards, you can send pics this way. It may be funny to take a pic of someone with your phone and then 'bluejack' it too them - but I know people who've received some pretty nasty porn over bluejacking too.
