I wrote a hack that lets you keep selling the Whirling Dervish's beard to Keapon Laffin in the remake of Quest for Glory 2, like you could do in the original version of the game (it was a bug).

A company called Fromdistance has released a program for Series 60 Symbian cell phones, which allow you to use your phone as a Web Application SMS Gateway.

It will check their server for any "queued" messages, and if it finds any it will send them out - so the message will come from your number, at your expense (or for free, if you have free SMSes).
