Telefonica partners with Facebook, Google, Microsoft and RIM for global carrier billing

Making a half dozen attempts to guess your login info or typing each digit of a credit card account certainly can get in the way of following through on impulse purchases, which is exactly how you'd categorize FarmVille cash or a featured flick that you know you may not have time to watch within the month. The solution is carrier billing, eliminating those precious seconds between impulse and reconsideration, and Telefonica has just signed on to offer the service to Facebook, Google, Microsoft and RIM account holders. The partnerships will enable O2 users in Germany or Movistar subscribers in Spain to charge purchases to their mobile phone accounts, for example -- in total, 14 Telefonica subsidiaries should be up and running with carrier billing by the end of the year, though some services, such as Google Play and Facebook, have already begun to roll out. Click through to the PR after the break for the full breakdown.

Nokia N9 updated to MeeGo PR1.3, boasts 1,000 improvements

MeeGo isn't quite dead, and Nokia N9 users are getting another update pushed to their phone to prove it. PR1.3, a firmware refresh that's been in the works at least since 1.2 was released a few months ago, has finally been made official. But this is no simple bug fix -- the latest version of MeeGo offers an impressive 1,000 "quality improvements, including mail, Facebook and Twitter." According to Nokia's official support page, the update will also provide several network and connectivity enhancements. The 203MB OTA download is now beginning to roll out, starting with unbranded devices and branching out from there. Continue past the break for the full statement from Nokia.

Update: We'll give a hat tip out to our commenters, who clued us in on a forum thread that discusses many of these "quality improvements." It appears that a large number of them are indeed bug fixes. Some of the actual boosts involve camera feature enhancements, higher volume, NFC fixes, better video decoding and more precise copy and paste [thanks BertrandsBox!] We also initially experienced sluggish behavior on the new update, but a factory reset seemed to resolve the concern.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Crack-dealer-turned-filmmaker offers cautionary tale

DETROIT (Reuters) - Convicted crack dealer DeWayne Wilkerson would be in prison until 2015 if not for changes in Michigan's controversial "mandatory minimum" laws. Instead he has made a film.

"The Greatest Gift 2.0," which Wilkerson began working on after his 2009 release, premiered last weekend at one of Detroit's largest churches and is booked for several other screenings in coming weeks.

It all started in 1996, when Wilkerson was a 26-year-old independent hip hop concert promoter who was moonlighting by peddling crack 30 miles south of Detroit in Monroe, Michigan.

One day in late June, he sold to one regular buyer three times in eight hours. The man turned out to be a police informant, and Wilkerson was later convicted and sentenced to five years for each transaction: 15 years "for a day's worth of work," he says.

As a small child in Memphis, he loved music. Wilkerson, who is black, did not let his complexion stop him from wanting "to be Elvis." The third of five children, he and his siblings moved throughout the Midwest with their mother after she and their father, a drug addict, split up. Eventually, Verastine Yancey got the struggling family to Monroe, and she took a job at a General Motors Cadillac plant in Detroit.

During the 1980s, when rock cocaine rocked his hometown along I-75, a frequent drug pipeline stretching from Florida to Michigan, dope money bought a teenage Wilkerson designer clothes and expensive sneakers.

But he often battled with his religious mother about the path he had chosen. He nearly missed his high school graduation after getting arrested on the eve of the ceremony.

Hip hop would reawaken his desire to work in music, but the drug scene competed for Wilkerson's attention. At 18, he was shot after sticking "a pistol in a dope fiend's mouth because he owed me some money," he said. At 23, his spleen was removed when he was shot again.

Later, when he was a hip hop promoter, trafficking helped Wilkerson snag Biggie Smalls, the world-famous rapper he brought to Monroe in 1995; California's Too Short was booked for Monroe and Detroit shows. But after once losing $21,000 on a single show when he could not fill a concert venue, illegal cash became insurance.

"I called myself using the game," says Wilkerson, 42, "but it used me."

After starting the mandatory minimum sentence for drug trafficking and other offenses, his creative drive returned, this time in the form of storytelling. His mother bought him a primer on screenwriting, and he taught himself the ropes in his state prison cell in Detroit.

Using lessons that he believed would inspire youth to choose more wisely than he had, he wrote and rewrote "The Greatest Gift 2.0" for seven years.

"I believe that you can bend the universe to the way you want it go," says Wilkerson, 42.

The 70-minute drama, which Wilkerson compares with the Oscar-winning "Crash," with its urban characters at crossroads of life, was inspired by an unlikely source that came to him on his black-and-white prison cell TV.

"I was watching George Burns' 'Oh God! You Devil,' and I thought, ?What if there was a serious film with hip hop swagger, about good versus evil?'" said Wilkerson.

After his prison release, Wilkerson researched companies through the Michigan Film Office, finding Captive 8 Productions' Brion Dodson.

"He said, ?We don't know what we're doing, we don't know how to hold a camera, but we got this script,'" says Dodson. "He was totally honest. I could tell he was a straight-up guy."

With financial help from Wilkerson's mother and actors who agreed to perform solely for screen credit, the pair cut corners to produce a film that Dodson says would normally cost $300,000.

Wilkerson says he will use "The Greatest Gift 2.0," which contains no profanity, as part of a "youth motivational package," ideally with corporate backing. Greater Grace Temple church hosted Friday's premiere for 500 children, Detroit officials and local celebrities.

"This presentation can be a powerful tool," says Greater Grace Bishop Charles H. Ellis III. "It takes a look at real issues in a way that really speaks to the heart of young people, and challenges them to consider consequences of their actions."

Wilkerson also held a screening in Monroe over the weekend and plans other appearances before church and community audiences there as well as in Columbus, Ohio; Topeka, Kansas; and Denver.

He says the film represents his second chance.

"I'm the impossible," he said. "I've got six felonies ... In my mind, I'm the success that society says can't happen."
