Amazing how one person in a company can affect the whole company. One AT&T employee decided on his own to make this threat. Most likely he is looking for a new job tonight.
Also, the "Bait and Switch" was nothing of the kind. Anyone who signed up for the old $30 plan can still keep it. So, without a real "switch" it's not a bait and switch now is it?
Interesting, seems my iPhone gets better throughput that some of the states in the US. Go figure.
I just wish they'd work on the download/upload ratio on broadband. I agree it should be different, but 10/1 or 20/1 or worse is NOT good. It should be closer to 2/1 or at worst 3/1. Heck, even old analog modems had 2/1 ratios. It just seems worthless to have 20 Mb/s download when I can only get stuff up at less than 1 Mb/s (my current broadband ability). Not to mention if I telecommute, the upload speed kills my productivity!
How many times has Chrome been built? How many times has Firefox? Seems that would be a better telling number than the version number. Version is just too arbitrary.
This use scenario seems much more apt for an iPad, due to it's much heavier flexibility. But, only if proper applications are written to fit the student's needs better.
We're talking about students of tommorrow, not today. Sure, today XP is still viable, but its days are very numbered. To train tommorrows workforce you need the latest technology, so they can hit the streets as up-to-date as possible. Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010. Or at least the latest Ubuntu and any most recent release compiler. Training kids for yesterday's technology doesn't do anyone any good.
I wonder if just putting 4 Gig of super fast cache memory would have the same affect, or at least something similar?
I'm going to wait for the high end drives like this. The one's that will have the faster flash memory. Just like current SSD drives, some are faster than others. Sometimes quite a bit faster. Seems to me if the flash memory doesn't have much better throughput than the normal hard drive's sustained throughput rate, then it's not worth much except for seek time improvements. So I hope to see soon what the real throughput rate is for the flash memory part of this drive is.
When are people going to get a clue and figure out the Facebook is a social web site, not a private web site? They think they can hide a black eye in the middle of a large party? If you don't want the World to see it, don't bring it to the party. DUH!
Why is it when a company like Microsoft tried to improve some area of technology, it's considered an attempt at "domination"?? Are people really this stupid?

I have no problems with foc.. Squirrel!
This story is shocking, just shocking.
Silly Republicans, space is for kids.

Did you read the rest of the article though? Reads almost exactly like what you would read for ANY OS. Windows, OSx, Linux, anything.
According to this: http://allthatiswrong.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/the-insecurity-of-openbsd/
Heat kinda makes me slow too...
And then next year it will be 5G. It never ends...
Can you hear me now?
NO, not at all. But, more builds to me means more effort into code generation. I know, not much but it might show more concern over innovation too.

Did I just spell Tommorow with two R's? See what old technology does, I learned to type on an IBM Selectric typewriter. BAH!

Is it me, or is this story full of hot air?
With a 9 year old in my house, we simply do not watch Prime Time TV any more. Even if the show might be OK, the commercials are NOT! TV sucks anymore.

Is it time to put aluminum foil on our heads yet? It would be if we let these privacy screamers run the parade.

Some folks just resist change, especially when they are not in the spotlight on it. Jobs needs to suck it up, and stop commenting where not needed.
Again, more proof that the patent system is broken. A reboot is needed.
