    Except that they didn't actually stop Master Card. Just the site was down -- nothing in regards to the actual cards or transactions were affected. So, for two hours, the few people who needed to find an ATM and decided to try using master card's website instead of a different service had to instead use google maps or something.

    Why would you pick the mouse up? That's so inefficient :-/ I have 2720 horizontal pixels (two monitors) and my mouse can move across all of it just by moving it 4 cm. I don't understand how some people live with such low mouse sensitivity.

    My phone has an HD video camera too, and can play HD videos, but neither can watch videos in HD, because they only have 480p displays.

    Pandora + 480p youtube, I have difficulty hitting 2 GB a month, even when I try. I've gone through a lot of Khan academy on my phone >__>

    Good thing Verizon provides a free data meter widget.

    I used to think this, and then I actually measured how much bandwidth youtube uses.

    You can't watch 4k or HD videos on a phone. Youtube videos are ridiculously small because they compress the hell out of them.

    Why the hell are you measuring bandwidth in seconds? And why do you need over 5 GB on your phone?

    True, they are usually the fastest network. At least the cap isn't only 2 GB like on some other networks -_-

    Why would you be downloading a 6 GB file if your cap is 5, etc?

    You aren't going to hit 5 whole GB just by browsing the web. I'm interested in the latency, too.

    If I ran it, then it'd be advertising for me to post it :D And, yeah, if ads work for Google... But, seriously, if you're making all of your living off of making crappy remixes of hit songs, then you're doing it wrong. That'd be almost as ridiculous as paying someone millions of dollars for running down a court.
