If anything I use it less because the tethering isn't as stable and I mark this up to their 3G network, not the phone.
Hmm, using the same network connection with a different phone gets you worse performance and you deduce this is b/c of the network which hasn't changed?
Yeah the extra $20 for the data for a specific type of phone is no fun, but that is what the market will accept given the enormous popularity of the phone. As a GS owner, I hope the competition and the coming non-exclusivity of the iPhone will help push this down as well.

So, I've got my search history turned off and deleted in Google (Settings, Dashboard). Is this not the same thing? My *assumption* was that since I did that, no tracking would be involved.
Or is it b/c you have to do that and it's not the default setting?
Hopefully it will be one of the hardware stud finders companies. None of those work very well (on anything but simple unfilled walls) and I would love to have a device that gives a true "picture" of what is in the wall.
This is bad because the Eagles may be even more greedy than the record companies. They dont mind bilking their fans when they go on tour and probably wouldn't mind when selling their wares.
They are the artists and creators, that's their prerogative. You don't have to listen to them and in this case I don't mind as it's coming directly from the artists and not some big corporation 3rd party. Do you value all music the same? In a free market some songs/artists work would cost more than others b/c of it's perceived value.
The average user does not want to be educated. The average user wants whatever solution requires the least effort on their part.
You touch on a good point. The average user shouldn't have to be educated. It is not the users job to be managing a program, trying to make it work, or in the spirit of GTD, managing an email program. They want to get done what they want and the program/OS should not get in the way. Otherwise you're just busy being busy.
I always set the OO.o default to save-as office documents on all my families pc's. I know it's not the ODF way but when dealing with most people today, that is all they know and it just makes it easier.
Why use glasses? They already sell books there at the entrance of the Forum that have the clear cellophane overlays of existing pictures that fill in the gaps with what it used to look like. I have one.
If you are thinking of a virtual tour with guide and interactive scenery, hollodeck like (except based on reality), we are a ways away from that becoming reality in terms of portable handheld devices that would provide a unique experience. Otherwise it's just an audio tour with a book with overlays just as above.
You lose the immersion effect with the iPhone version of Google Maps (even on 3GS) since you have to use your finger to move the screen when in street view. (You have to drop a pin and select the outlined white figure to enable street view if it is available).
Did they fix the default save location? It never fails (OO.o is not alone) when family goes to save or open a new document, many times it will open some obscure buried folder or a temp folder somewhere instead of the standard user's 'documents' folder. I know you can set this but that doesn't help spouses and grandparents that are not familiar with file structure. "I know I saved it, but I can't find it" is a common phrases heard on my family's tech support line.
Sort of...
While not an app specifically, I just bookmarked my GV contacts to the Home screen. One extra click and I'm using GV, controversy avoided. Granted it may not be as purdy as an official app but it works.
Are there any good tutorials for BackTrack items? Lifehacker has done a few liveCD showings of it but never explain more than that. Would love to use it more but the lack of documentation and user friendliness leaves me wanting./not a crypto expert
How in what way and universe is jailbreaking "questionably legal"? It is *your* phone. How is it any different that doing anything you want with any other electronic device you own? Unless you are hacking into other networks or some such, which is understandably illegal, you are only using what you own how you want. I am saddened we the public have been moved into such a mindset.
If they legalize jailbreaking of the phones, it is not going to legalize hacking cellphone towers, so the people that are going to do it are already trying.
"Legalize" jailbreaking? So you're implying that it is currently illegal to do what you want with your own phone? I didn't know breaking of the terms and conditions was "illegal". What is the jail time for something like this? I don't think the way you used "illegal" in those two scenarios are equivalent.
Why would they need to lower the drill at all? Why do they need 3 cubic feet of red matter if it only takes one drop to cause a "black hole", let alone keeping it all in one small ship? Why not teleport a photon torpedo to their bridge? Why was older spock out of focus the whole last 10 minutes of the movie? Why, why why.
It is a show, for entertainment. If you can't suspend disbelief for a few minutes when talking about interstellar space ships, time travel, and black holes, then I imagine you lead a pretty frustrating life.
I also write it to one of my archive disks. The archive disks are then stored in a fire-proof, water-proof document safe, itself stored inside a larger theft-resistant home safe...
But wait, there's more. We then take your hard drive and wrap it in a French crepe which is then rolled in a corn husk and deep fried. We then take that and wrap it in a Chicago style pizza....Taco Town!

I was unaware that the leaked documents contained *all* the email and data from the past decade.
Sadly I work with a fellow that types every letter...........exactly like that.............
Or they were "contaminated" when they got to Earth?

You can, it's called Viper SmartStart. There's a free iPhone app but the service costs money.

Scientific observation would say there are less than 2.

Go Crazy?
We legislate morality every day. I think what you meant was we can't dictate morality, big difference.
Why would they need to lower the drill at all? Why do they need 3 cubic feet of red matter if it only takes one drop to cause a "black hole", let alone keeping it all in one small ship?

Then you should have a big issue with "hate crime" laws. (as do many)
Actually he didn't even do that (stopped research), he only stopped *federal funding* on new lines of ESC.
