  1. Re:Just Don't Get It on Verizon's Challenge To the iPhone Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Obviously you've never been to San Fransisco with your cell phone turned on. The bay has many complaints about AT&T.

    Depends on the region. Nokia hasn't had a good market share, on any phone, in the states since the 5160.

  3. Re:IPhone. Blah Blah Blah on Verizon's Challenge To the iPhone Confirmed · · Score: 1

    You think people still own RAZRs? That's hilarious, they all have iPhones now. Even when I had my SLVR and would download Java apps onto it, my RAZR friends had no idea what to do. The App Store is just as big of a reason that iPhone is successful. How many people do you know that owned the Moto software to connect the phone to a PC?

    When it works, otherwise it's a decreased value.

    Ummm... Sprint Nextel has been the same company for years. And now it might as well be fucking Ericsson.

    Just click the "if your download doesn't start, click here" link. It's worked for me in both FF and IE

    You get reception? I'll have to try at night. More half bars in more places.

    I don't really see how $24.99 per month is a better deal than $20 over four months

  10. Re:Sheesh... on MMS Arrives For the iPhone — Will It Crash AT&T's Network? · · Score: 1

    On this site, spelling out MMS makes about as much sense as spelling out DOS or CD-ROM.

    AT&T, Inc. is the company's official name. Just like it's HP and not Hewlett-Packard anymore. Troll fails hard.

  11. Re:Gateway Stores on Microsoft Reportedly Poaching Apple Retail Staff · · Score: 1

    I worked at a CompUSA with a Gateway store in the same block and a Good Guys across the parking lot and a Best Buy across the street... It was fun. Gateway were truly idiots and I liked how they thanked me for calling Gateway Country and then go on a sales pitch upon answering the phone each time I was trying to help a customer (maybe soon to be theirs if they told me the right prices and didn't act like fools, I wasn't commission and honestly wanted whatever suited the customer the best).

    Being an admin at a retailer isn't the same as working retail.

  13. Re:Thats kind of scarry on Windows Marketplace For Mobile Kill Switch Details · · Score: 1

    Any of the GSM networks in the USA? Nationwide, you only have T-Mobile and AT&T. Huge selection there, the other two national carriers are CDMA... That said, I've always used unlocked GSM phones (bought in Europe) with AT&T until my iPhone, so you're right there. Tmob also doesn't care, it's the CDMA folks who severely restrict the handsets on their networks.

  14. Re:Yes! on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's pretty different. It's more like if you had to take your Epson printer to a service shop to determine which cartridge needing replacement because the information for that was only available to Epson shops and the printer merely displayed "a new cartridge is required"

  15. Re:Microsoft Afraid of Pioneering Boo on Windows 7 Touch, Dead On Arrival · · Score: 1

    Except if you knew anything about it, you would know that they use the sharp character whenever possible and it's based on C++, not coffee beans. Nice high horse, choosing Java. What brilliant programming language are you going to support next, Flash?

  17. MS isn't a hardware company

    The MS mouse, keyboard, webcam, fingerprint reader, wireless card, wireless router, Xbox and Xbox 360 (with related peripherals) in my home beg to differ on the notion that they do not brand hardware. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/

  18. Re:What browser? on Comparing Microsoft and Apple Websites' Usability · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So your problem about using an Apple funded browser was how it implemented a MS technology differently on the different platforms? I'd blame Silverlight.

    I'm with you, I'm already using it and recommending it. Since most my friends call me for tech support anyway, they'd show up at a BYOB party to hear me point out some things that they'll want to know on the OS that they're gonna end up getting with new machines anyway. I'll bring the pizza and show you some reasons why 7 doesn't blow like Vista did and we'll all get drunk.

  21. Re:Second home on Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" · · Score: 1
    While you're correct it's the second home to be vandalized, it also happens to be this couple's second home. They already moved elsewhere, try some reading comprehension.

    The owners had redecorated the property in Croydon, South London, then moved out ahead of letting it.

  22. Re:Lack of bandwidth is not Apple's fault on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    Except the only other nationwide American GSM network is T-Mobile. An iPhone operating on 2G is not "a lot faster."

    North Americans write in American English, a regional dialect (an extraordinarily large region) with great similarity, but significant differences, to English.

    So Canada and Mexico write in American English as well?

  25. Re:Even if unlocked still breaking and entering on Australian Police Database Lacked Root Password · · Score: 1

    You are saying that I can only be burglarized at night? Fuck common law, if you are studying to be a lawyer (which I am gonna assume from your pompous class of 2010 reference) you should know to only reference laws applicable to the locale that you are talking about. This isn't the 1600s in England. I know you haven't graduated yet, but burglary varies. My state is harsher for night time burgling, but it still can occur during the day. Who knows Aussie law, other than lawyers there? Not Yale students.
