Most of that can be handled by QoS, and usually the customer can decide how they want their traffic prioritized. Plus, if the ISP was prioritizing traffic, it wouldn't cause bit-torrents to come to a crawl. They deliberately throttle down traffic they feel is associated to pirating.
Maybe they should limit how much TV you watch too! If I pay for a 10MB connection, I expect to get those speeds, unless they disclaim to me that they will throttle traffic on my connection. Problem I have with these ISPs, is when you call them, and ask them if they throttle BT, they say no. A blatant LIE!
I don't know why people make such a big deal out of this. I'm sure most people can tell the difference between an iPhone and a Galaxy S phone. I bet their are much more similarities between PC/Laptop vendors than phone vendors. Only reason everyone is making a fuss about this is because Smart Phone are the big craze right now, and everyone wants to dominate the market.
I've never heard of a major cloud storage facility that would keep all their servers in one location. They usually have all their data backed up to remote locations, usually far from their main site. We are taking about Amazon, and Google here, not Black Berry RIM. I'm sure their data is safe.
I can customize the UI interface on my Galaxy S phone to match how I like it, iPhone you can't. Also, different Phone Venders will add their own customization and crap that totally changes the UI, at not fault to Samsung. If you want a simply to use phone for Grandma, and it needs to stay consistent, than I can see the value of the iPhone, otherwise I'll take any Android phone over an iPhone anyday. I hate the Proprietary that comes with Apple Products. The iPhone doesn't use standard charges, no easy battery replacement, no memory card. It's an idiot proof phone.
As Windows couldn't get much worse, many will now be taking another look at Linux instead. I've been using Windows 8 for several months now, and it SUCKS! Even on a Tablet, it's not very intuitive. It feels like Windows 7 merged with a cheap Phone OS, and the blending makes it very confusing to navigate around.
You're talking about a fantasy that will never exist. Humans have too much ambition, and greed to be sustainable. These bad traits are in all of us, and there is no magic wand that will change it. If the world would stop eating Beef, it would probably solve half our problems, doubt that is ever going to happen.
This world only has a Finite amount of resources. If the rest of the third world countries tries to live like we do here in the U.S., we will need 3 Earths to sustain the current population.
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that surface temperatures are rising. Scientist knows it, Military knows it, farmers and fishermen know it. I'm surprised people are still trying to disprove things that are in plain sight for everyone to see.
Same here, I even subscribed to Amazon Prime because I saved money on shipping. With the simplicity of using a Roku, and the ability to watch your shows on your Laptop or iPod/Android, it's a wonder Cable Providers still have subscribers.
10 years ago would have been the Pentium 4 Northwood, clocked around 2ghz, and no HT. Max memory would have been 512MB of SD 100mhz. Windows 7 would be painfully slow.
IT should be taking care of this for you. Don't try and do things yourself without consulting with IT first, I've seen many users mess things up when they try to take maters in their own hands. Remember, you're using company property, and all the data belongs to the company too. If you have personal data, let the IT person know this, and they will be responsible to dealing with it.
I run into people who use Windows and look at Linux and say they don't like it. Yet , those same people will say they love OS X, and they don't realize that its still Linux. I think some people just have this perceived notion that Linux is not good.
Can you think about killing someone, or blowing someplace up? Will the Thought Police come arrest you if the idea comes to your mind? What about movies, they portray killing and blowing stuff up all the time, should we put limits on Hollywood too? There is such a thing as common sense, and knowing when your serious or not. The man wasn't yelling in a theater or plane. To me tweeting is no different than speaking your mind in forums, or emails. People say outrages things all the time, but knowing that no one will be taking it serious.
If you're doing this to learn something, do it the old fashion way. This method requires new technology, and thousands of lines of program code, to extract a few dozen lines of old code.

My Dehumidifier can produce clean water in just a short amount of time. That is, if you live where it's humid.

If it can withstand the brutal torture of a 3 year old, it can withstand anything.
How do you know the outage to those services were not due to an issue with the ISP?

It's worse than a Casino. Look what happened to Hedge Funds in 2008.

The country needs Population Control. When population explodes as it has in India, what else can you expect.

Well I'm 40, but I grew up with computers. My first was an Atari 800.

If you're the IT, than you are GOD of the network and computers, so it doesn't mater.

This isn't much news, it's what goes on everyday, despite what any says.

If you purchase a big ticket item on Amazon, then getting the Prime Plan would make more sense.

I can't imagine converting Punchcards would be a problem to anyone today. Sounds more like a fetish, or nostalgia to me.
