No Kindle Touch in Europe

According to Silicon Republic Amazon won't release Kindle Touch in Europe in any foreseeable future.
I'm getting tired of treating European customers as a second class citizens by some major companies.

Page display problem in Firefox 4 beta?

I've just found something that looks like a page rendering bug in Firefox 4.0 beta 10.
Screenshot:

I've already reported it in Bugzilla. I wonder what the feedback will be?

My phone went mad

My phone (LG KS360) got hit by a software bug with the dawn of 2011.
The date displayed on 1st of January was:
Yep - 82nd day of 82nd month.
I've waited a few days to see if situation will sort itself out.
That's what it was today:
and the set date option:

In addition the alarms stopped working.
I've had enough of experimenting for now so I'm setting the correct date manually. (Actually it wasn't so easy - I wasn't able to change the day, only month was editable - but after a few tries I managed to succeed).
On a side note - Samsung Galaxy looks tempting - between 90-100 Euro... ;)

digiKam and memory

After working on 27 photos the memory consumed by digiKam 1.2  is currently at 1 560 268 kB (as reported by KDE System Activity under Memory column).
This is reported when no photo is edited at the moment.
Things start to slow down - and the computer starts to use a page file.
I've restarted the application and displayed the same photo - now the memory consumption is 160 404 kilobytes.
Looks like some bad memory leaks to me.
