You won't be able to keep the new iPhone. There will be stips about having to return the phone to the store to cancel the service without ETF. Count on it.
The pricing is standard for all Smartphones on AT&T. All they did was just make it easier to say, "iPhone, Blackjack II, Treo. Monthly price is the same, what features do you need?"
it's also the same reason cartoon fans hate to watch Looney Toons on Cartoon Network, or why a bootleg of Disney's "Song of the South" is so expensive.
I work for a DME (durable medical equipment) company and one of the biggest items we've been setting people up with is CPAP (Constant Positive Airway Pressure) units. These are for people who have bad sleep apnea or low oxygen at night due to the breathing passages being close by lack of control by the nervous system.
CPAPs have a mask that you wear over your nose (now there is a giant cannula option instead of a mask) and a compressor pushes air into your nose. The output is measured in how much water cm3 it pushes. 4-7cm is avg.
These units have helped a lot of people with apnea, and usually a difference is noticed within two-three days!
The iBot has been a part of discussion at work lately.
I work for a DME (Durable Medical Equipment) company and we were discussing an article about Medicare funding which brought up some issues about getting funding for newer products on the market.
While talking about this the iBot came up. Our service manager, with 18 years of experience with repairing different standard and power wheelchairs, made some comments about the iBot I wanted to share.
1. If it gets stuck on the stairs, would you want to be in it? 2. Would you want to try to get a loved one out of it if stuck in earlier postition?
Please discuss!

My e-mail address tends to change every 2-3 years. So far I've had this new one about 5 months perhaps, and only get one spam e-mail every week or so. Of course, I don't know how much of this is because my ISP is doing its part to stop spam.
I don't know how much my ISP is doing to stop spam either. That's why I decided to build my own mail server. At least this way if I get spam, I can block the address and/or host with a little change to my access file.
I know that there are better ways to do it, but for the little amount of mail I get, it makes me feel good I can do something to stop the spam.
At my local Wal-Mart I saw a device that was a card reader for the GBA, and there were three different games that came out on the NES, like Excitebike for example. You swipe the card, the whole game is loaded on the GBA and is playable.
Nintendo makes this, but I'm too lazy to look up what it's called on the site.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they made it quite a bit better than that, since a 400mhz processor with 256MB of RAM won't even play Mortal Kombat properly.
Considering the cost of processors these days, 600-700Mhz should be doable. This is also the reason I don't have my MAME cabinet up yet!:)
Every time I click on the executable it does nothing. No windows open. No program launches. No errors. Nothing.}...and this is exactly why you'll never see a major company put their roms in a MAME-enabled anything. Support costs like this will kill that idea.
These guys are smart enough to put a frontend on it in order to make it easier, which is sounds like you need to find for your MAME.
It's wrong to argue who would have been where without whom. If Mandrake would not have been anywhere without the FSF, the FSF might not have been anywhere in MY life without Mandrake.
GNU/Linux systems are a community effort, and it takes all kinds of support. If you support Mandrake by buying the distro or joining the club, the FSF gets more people buying the concept of Free Software. If you donate to the FSF, it helps ALL distros, including Mandrake.
Don't forget the Free Software Foundation is here to promote a community as well as software.
It makes good business sense to use GPL-ed software when you want to devise a new product.
1. Low cost or no cost. 2. If you give geeks a chance to play with it, they can start to tell regular people how it works, why they should get it, etc. 3. Since most "regular" people don't care or don't want to know why it works the way it does, if the people who care why it works (geeks), show others that it just works, others will be inclined to buy that product.
The moral: Most people will buy something if it simply works. Sony and Panasonic are letting us make sure it works before they mass-release.
Great strategy for the companies and I get to fullfil my hacker tendancies!

Yep. $99 Blackberry Curve is the latest AT&T promo. Saw the ad on TV. It's with mail-in rebate and 2 year contract.

Yeah, but 2600 got nailed for less.
Linux Magazine (UK), Wired, SI, and 2600
Xerox PARC made the mouse and the GUI, Apple just refined the idea to make it easy.
Ever since TechTV mentioned them, the server has crashed. These guys offered movies on game design for free.
GLTron is cool.

Doom 3 was introduced at the last E3, that's why it isn't on anyone's lists
At least they like Linux. Internet Support picture has a giant Tux hanging on the wall.
Just because they dropped OGG doesn't mean that they don't value Open Source.

I'm not either, which I found out is what my ISP does plus they subscribe to a spam list for known spammers.
My point it though, I like a more hands on approach to stop it. I don't know why, i just do.
See #1 in my original thread.

Considering MAME has been ported to so many platforms, including older Kodak digital cameras, an embeded Linux running MAME should be no problem.

Noone minds if you rip all your old cartridges and convert your old tapes, because noones selling them.
Then why does Nintendo have such a policy of this?
