    But if you look at the pictures more closely, it looks like the dents were formed from the interior side of the wheel. I am not sure how terrain could cause that to happen.

  6. Give me stuff on Sunday! on Why Local Is So Damn Hard For Startups: Foursquare Borrows $41M To Try Again · · Score: 1

    The problem as I see it from a weekend warrior, tinkerer, technical point of view is as follows: 1. The majority of SB is not open afer the standard set of work hours (m-f, 8-5)to allow for other run of the mill people to purchase goods 2. The SB is engaged in a trade based (can not remember the exact name for this) buisnesss such as window tinting, hardware supply, or other wholesale or redistributor only market that will not sell to the "common folk" 3. If the SB will sell to regular person, their inventory is not easily accessed. There are other thingsto list, but n essence a big company needs to ge tthe common person unlimited access to the tail of the dragon type of goods. An example would be if i need a hydrolic actuator at 3:30pm on a sunday afternoon,but i am a software engineer and can not call up local plumbers union to get one.

  7. Re:Why is there a wi-fi crisis? on Carmakers Oppose Opening Up 5GHZ Spectrum Space For Unlicensed Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    Unfortunatly, no one can understand the possibilities of using new capabilities until they exist. (Please note, i am generalizng here), until wifi and the opening of 2.4 (worthless in the eyes of the FCC) spectrum did the explosion of wifi communication occur. Hopefully the same will happen with a new RF band such as the 5 ghz bAnd.

  12. Re:Forgot their customers on NTSB Dumps BlackBerry In Favor of iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    While I understand the need for corporate security, I find that as more and more IT rules are pushed down onto my BB, I am becoming less and less likely to keep using it. Unfortunately there are no metrics to calculate the loss of productivity and thus revenue due to employees turning in the POS, crippled BB's and returning to the real world of portable communications. What are the real costs? 1. The possibility of Data lost from my phone? 2. Me only answering emails between the hours of 8am and 5pm, 365 days a year?

    There is something strange about this cable. Check the enlarged image on Best Buy. Notice something strange? Some strange plastic case with LED lights on it? It looks like a 1980's vcr corded remote image superimposed onto a regular HDMi cable.

  20. Re:iPhone on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 1

    If I send an email to a co-worker via Blackberry that contains proprietary company or government information, there is a possibility that the data is now in the hands of a third party. I may now be liable for criminal and civil penalties because of this shared data... or not. the entity that did share it most likely would though.

  21. Re:Can't someone sue the carriers? on Android Dev Demonstrates CarrierIQ Phone Logging Software On Video · · Score: 1

    I am looking at this from the point of view of a large corporation that uses Carrier IQ infected hardware (Blackberry's) as part of doing buisness. There is a lot of proprietary, confidential information that falls outside of the scope of personal text messages. Insider trading comes to mind. In addition, as a employee of a large defense contractor that uses a LOT of blackberry's, I am sure there must be some rule of law that would prevent Carrier IQ from gathering ALL that information, from CEO down to engineer, and handing it over to another defense contractor.
