Yeah, I really mean just 802.11x networking though.
Anywhere I would use an iPad there is WiFi (not saying it's so for everyone).
The $499 version of the iPad is very compelling even, but too restricted for me, and a little too expensive (there's other cheaper toys I would rather buy).
The iPad has a lot of value added because wireless internet is everywhere.
Also the small weight difference counts for a lot.
$499 is still a little more than I want to pay, and I do care (unlike most people) that it is locked down.
But I would happily pay $300 for a similar device that is wireless only, the iPad is a temptation for me.
if it started at $999 no way in hell. Especially if it was attached to 1998's internet, the added value of the iPad is almost entirely that it is now a decade later, and th internet has more value than it did then.
I Think what happened is that adobe courted schools and quark was an asshole.
When indesign came out creative suite was a very affordable easy way for schools to get a tool for all their needs (vector, raster, layout, cross platform archive). And while there was no educational discount on quark, the suite was deeply discounted (creative suite was cheaper than quark alone).
After a couple of versions indesign was even a usable product.
You can see the effect in the precipitous drop of quark upgrade prices. They are struggling to keep loyal customers even.
Yeah, because pandora would be useless in a car only occupied by the driver.
This is not marginal, it is good that a non-manufacturer is working on this, as however much they charge, it's gonna be less than GM would for the same thing. Once internet in car becomes available like that, things will start to take advantage of it. Something like a iPad, or an Android device would be great to have instead of a stereo in a car. Just a flat screen 5-9 inches where my disk changer is. I wouldn't even need to look at it while driving to gain immense value.
GPS navigation, Radio, MP3 Player, Traffic alerts, AND passengers would be able to use internet too.
I hope this catches on, because I would line up as a sucker in no time. Though hopefully less than $60/month, as I won't be hitting it that hard (unless an hour or two of radio is what they consider a lot).
Though if you know someone is on vacation two weeks can be enough time to unload the haul and memories fade of what you may have looked like.
As for at the mall though, I am skeptical. I know I would be more likely to just go at dinner time, when i know nobody is in the bedrooms. All the good stuff (jewelry) is there anyway.
I went to the site to see what it is. They have no explanation of why i would want it on the front page, except for a link about us.
A 2 minute long video, that's a howto.
30 seconds in I got bored.
even with this publicity, I think it is unlikely to take off. There does appear to be links for developers trying to leveragge the site into money though.

KHTML did some weird shit, even on fairly geek oriented sites (though perhaps not standards compliant), it was worse than Opera as far as actually browsing. It was not until Apple came around and made Safari off of it that it became a real substitute (well Webkit did anyway).
Mozilla suite rocked when it got into double digit milestones, but was worthless until M8 (worse than NS4). Phoenix is when it became the best heavy browser IMO, which was a while later even.
Until '02 when Phoenix was released, IE was a decent browser when compared to others. And from early '97 to late '99 IE was the best browser for windows (well for pay and in late '00 there was Opera).
On Linux one could get a decent browing experience with M8+ of Mozilla, but it took a while for it to be on parity with IE4 for browsing (developers fault perhaps, but still true).
IE4 slaughtered it, because not only was it already there, but it was better.
Using Linux before the later Mozilla milestones was awful, and not just the rendering issues, it was the damned slowness and crashiness of the only credible graphical browser.
And safe-distance is not set in stone, I try to have half a safe follow distance as a minimum when I actually change lanes (3.5 car lengths at 70 MPH). This is more than enough space for a car to cut right.
The car behind appears to take the signal as an indication, they better get to the right quick, or the option to drive like an ass will be quickly diminished as the road clears.

Did it get him your vote?
You don't need to answer, but that is a surprising amount of integrity for someone that will reverse such a stance.
I would think e-mail is a paper personally.
Most people of the mind to live and let live, also feel live and let die.
So the argument would be, yes, it should be only the sick persons business and not yours.

Good for voice, but expensive if you use it for data.
At a time when in Windows you could only get one playing at a time, due to the sound system.
It was truly an awesome OS.
But it was also archaic in others (e.g. single user).
Just now ate sites starting to drop ie 6 support. We have years yet.

Google ads are CPC not CPI, so they do care.
Except it is theoretically damaging resale value.
Whether or not your flatmate uses the feature, it's removal from the product lessens the value.
intonation counts for a lot, because that is the exact opposite of what I assumed he meant.

The problem is in the ownership of the poles and conduits.
Though for wireless there is some competition, and Verizon has been shooting itself in the foot for a while, and it is showing.
In the wired internet world, it is infeasible for a competitor to creep up.
I read it as:
"number one? not even close"
In response to a question along the lines of:
"Is the US number one?"
Though if you know someone is on vacation two weeks can be enough time to unload the haul and memories fade of what you may have looked like.
As for at the mall though, I am skeptical. I know I would be more likely to just go at dinner time, when i know nobody is in the bedrooms. All the good stuff (jewelry) is there anyway.
If I had to guess it would be that people were ditching yahoo! and changing their homepage etc.
So even though yahoo! was paying more, people fleeing the default lead to a lot of zeros getting averaged in for canonical.

Didn't the iPhone have reception issues?
I believe it had an entirely metal case that interfered with the antenna. This sounds a lot like something Apple would do.
Also, have you used OSX prior to 10.2? it was full of stupid little annoyances.

Too bad Netscape 4 was so shitty.
Slow and crash.

I would think it needs to be perpendicular to our 3 dimensions in the forth to get that.
I think we would get a 6 faced object without matching faces.
based on my thought experiment of a cube through a plane.
Yes, always turn-signal.
