From TFA, Both Verizon and AT&T are basing their 4G technology on LTE -- no more GSM vs. CDMA. Shouldn't this mean then that devices that work on one network can be taken over to another network now? ie-- 4G iPhone on Verizon, and Droid phones on AT&T?
So one user runs Spinrite on a drive with crashed heads, ruins the data, and this is somehow SpinRite's fault? I've used SpinRite on many (near)dead drives and have had success with it more often than not. My father bought his copy years ago, but it still works. Good program.
Linux fails because it's interoperability with anything that is not connected via TCP/IP just doesn't work. When I can get to the point where sound 'just works' and my digital camera (either Canon or Casio, both USB) and be plugged in and recognized and able to pull pics/videos off seamlessly, and when it works with normal MP3 files without jumping through 6 different hoops, play either WMV or QuickTime videos I'll consider it for the desktop. Don't tell me to get different hardware -- this is all commodity level stuff. If I need to buy 'specific' hardware, I'll buy a Mac. Until then, I'm sticking with Windows. (for the Desktop)
