I hope AI is used to bring the webcams which have humans moving on it to peoples attention (rather than having everyone looking at random webcams, 99% of which will have nothing interesting on them).
Is there something I don't understand? I don't think unlocking a US cellphone has any additional value than an unlocked US cellphone. The phone's most value is on its original network and it's almost worthless on any other network.
Why would you think that? How is a phone worthless on another network? Do you even understand what unlocking is?
Here in the UK, lots of little shops offer to unlock your phone. And people pay for it, because its worth moneys to have an unlocked phone.
He definitely should have left them public. He should've made it look as though he meant to do that and left them on. Somebody will have downloaded them all anyway.
If the guy is a technology editor, why is he struggling with something as simple as a GPS? I'd understand if he was reporting that others had this problem... but come on.
It will not have the sense UI. It has the normal android UI but modified slightly.... with lasers (no I'm not joking). The screen will definitely look better thanks to the OLED technology. And this OLED technology also helps the battery life - it may have better battery life than the Droid. Also, early images of the device clearly show a flash light (http://www.cellphones.ca/news/upload/2009/10/htc-passion-back.jpg) (yes that's the Nexus one, not the passion/bravo. There was a lot of early confused about the naming)
Wrong. The passion has an optical mouse and different buttons at the bottom. See http://ai.rs/2009/12/htc-bravo/ YES, passion==bravo. Passion is the US name and Bravo is the EU name.
The first mistake most people make when talking about SSDs vs HDDs is comparing cost/GB. SSDs are not for storing data. They're for installing your OS and programs, while your data goes to the fileserver or the secondary drive in the workstation.
They're for whatever the fuck I want them for. Who are you to tell me how to use my SSD?
Anyway, the mistake is comparing cost/GB in a LINEAR way. The first 10 GB is worth a lot more than the last 10GB on a 250 GB drive. There is a utility curve for GBs (just like the money one).
The majority of people don't give a damn about being able to reprogram a device. People want things to be simple. Sure, you are an expert with computers and want to configure everything. It's just like how an engineer doesn't like to buy a whole car but instead buys the engine and the brakes and puts it all together (ok that was a terrible example). You wouldn't be able to put a car together - it would be of no use to you. A lack of choice in certain areas (eg in the app store) is often good - choice can be intimidating.
They should make some kind of noise that sounds significantly different when its coming towards you compared with going away from you, just like how an ambulance or police siren is.
Wifi won't be killed so easily. As demand for 3G grows in America, the carriers will have to upgrade their network, and we all know how serious they are about that. They'll slack and lag behind (dragging down everyone's 3G speeds).
It will be at least 10 years before we have 3G coverage on even one carrier that can handle enough of a load to completely replace Wifi and have good coverage IMO.
You mean make a phone with all that stuff in? It would be a waste for it to only be used as a camera with wifi and 3G. Anyway, the samsung pixon12 satisfies all those needs of yours.
There is no one too young to benefit from the use of mobiles. Though, obviously, all the old folk will claim it'll ruin their childhood. It will not ruin it. Just because it's different does not mean its bad.
yeah, and horses used to transport people everywhere. If everyone in those olden days thought "lol, a car. they're way to expensive to buy" we wouldnt have decent cars.

I own a K750i you insensitive clod!

It's not hypocritical. It's contradictory... lots of people mix these up.

They're equivalent. It doesn't matter.

Are people really this paranoid?
What were you in your former life? A library?
WiMAX is a joke. 2mbps down, 0.5mbps up.

http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/09/09/03/0258243/iPhone-Straining-ATampT-Network?from=rss $18,000,000,000 isn't serious? What should they be spending this year then?

3G will never replace wifi.
Ensure it's ultimate motivation is to improve its own intelligence. Simple.

No. One will dominate. Streaming shall reign supreme.
Zero years? What on earth would someone who doesn't know how to talk, let alone read or write, need a cell phone for?
To help that person learn to read, write and talk.
No kid needs a cell phone until he or she is old enough to take a bus without supervision. If (s)he wants to talk to grandma (s)he can use your phone.
? I don't think anyone is claiming that a mobile is necessary. It's just very useful. It would be more convinient for the child to use his own phone.
Come back when you have kids of your own.
It's got nothing to do with having children. The parent is not the one using the mobile. Don't twist it around so that its about the parent.
There is no one too young to benefit from the use of mobiles. Though, obviously, all the old folk will claim it'll ruin their childhood. It will not ruin it. Just because it's different does not mean its bad.

This is going to be extremely annoying when downloading files on the internets. They'll be larger than they appear.
Perhaps a pencil is good enough - there isn't much research going into them about how to improve them.
