Pop star Miley Cyrus got on her high horse, via Twitter, to paint former Pennsylvania senator and current GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum as a bigot for his stance on same-sex marriage. As reported by the Politico , the singer/actress was so upset that Urban Outfitters had contributed to Santorum she took to Twitter, last Thursday, to preach to her fans that every time they made a purchase from the clothing retailer they were helping to “finance a campaign against gay equality.” The former star of Disney's hit kid show, Hannah Montana , who was already annoyed that the company had allegedly stolen jewelry designs, added the Santorum donation to her list of personal grievances against Urban Outfitters, as seen in the following May 26 tweet: “IF WE ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE NEXT THING U KNOW PEOPLE WILL BE MARRYING GOLD FISH” – Rick Santorum UO contributed $13,000 to this mans campaign.”

Unlocked 3G modems aren’t something you see everyday. Sure, Zoom has been hawking the dongles for some time, but they’re primarily of the tri-band variety — Nova Media’s iCON 461 does those one better by going quad-band and throwing in GPS for good measure. The globe-trotting “3G surfstick” supports 7.2Mbps HSPA on the 850, 900,1900, and 2100 bands (that would include AT&T here in the ol’ US of A) and can handle EDGE at 850, 900, 1800, and 1900MHz (hello, T-Mo). In addition to a slot for your GSM SIM there’s also a place to stick a microSD card, in case you need someplace to store that leaked copy of David Comes to Life . The iCON 461 comes in two versions: Mac-compatible with launch2net Premium for €179 (about $248), and Windows-friendly with uCan Connect for €149 (roughly $215).
