    SK-Earthlink sounds like ask a earthling... You're right, it should be ask an earthling, but when the Koreans pointed out the mistake their American counterparts at Earthlink just laughed and said: "Yah, right, now Koreans are gonna teach us American!" Maybe asking an earthling is not such a good idea...

    I can't wait to get behind someone on the freeway who is now videoconferencing while driving.

    I do hope that the US can get it's collective head out of it's butt when it comes to wireless technology.
