*prior to the invention of Mosaic Browser. I should make that correction. AOL/Quantum Link also created the first MMO in 1986 called Habitat (later renamed Club Caribe).
I still use AOL (netscape branded). It's not any worse than any other ISP. It's easy to bash AOL but we forget they created the first Graphical-based national BBS in 1985. They were also the easiest way to access the Usenet and Internet for us home users. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Link
"Free market" and "comcast". Comcast is a local Government-created monopoly, not a free market. Please learn the difference. Comcast is similar to the electric, water, or natural gas monopolies. In a truly "free market" we'd not have monopoly but instead be able to choose from CC or Cox or Cablevision or Time-warner or AppleTV or whoever
"most consumers have more choices for mobile broadband than for fixed broadband."
I agree on this part of the US FCC's decision. In my area I have a Duopoly of fixed internet providers, but 10+ choices for wireless internet. That's almost as many choices as we had back in the 1990s Dialup days.
In addition, we anticipate soon seeing the effects on the market of the openness conditions we imposed on mobile providers that operate on upper 700 MHz C-Block spectrum, which includes Verizon Wireless, one of the largest mobile wireless carriers in the U.S.
This is the old TV Band (channels 52-69). I wonder what the FCC's talking about? Openness conditions "imposed" on this range? Wonder what that means?
- - - Also wonder if the FCC is still planning to take the 500 and 600 MHz band (TV channels 25 and up). I'd prefer they took the noisy VHF band instead. It works very poorly for Digital TV reception.

I can get the daily edition of News Corp's "The Blaze" or FOXnews.com for free. What makes this new iPad edition worth paying? I guess it has something to do with the new push tech.
Nokia 2115i. It makes calls and sends texts. That's it. Not even internet access or a camera. (Though it does have a flashlight.) No need to fear viruses or spyware.
Sad thing is I know an Art Teacher just like that. "Stop criticizing the cops." And I reply, "But the video shows them beating a citizen who had done nothing wrong (just walking his dog)." "I'm sure if the cops were beating him, they had a justified reason to do so." "....."
Anyway the FBI should not be spying on us via backdoors in our OSes (or phones or thermostats or cars) - it violates the LEGAL requirement to obtain a search warrant from a judge.

.....in a public place." - SCOTUS. It applies to the cops as well. They have no reason to believe they should be unrecordable when they are out on the road or on the sidewalk. Besides: They record us all the time, with cameras installed in their cars and taping during confessions.
Approximately 2 to 3 times the magnetic field strength of a typical MRI
You just need one of those Cellphone Head Protectors, and at $30 it's a real bargain. "Between 20% and 80% of the radiation emitted by a mobile phone is deposited in the user's head. The microwave radiation is absorbed by and actually penetrates the area around the head, some reaching an inch, to an inch and a half, into the brain. Protect yourself by ordering our radiation protector."
Or just use speakerphone like I do, so you don't have to hold the phone to ya head and kill brain cells. (drinks 30th beer of the day). Yep.

Random Question?
Can I change my name to WTF6502? ;-)
If this was April 1st I'd guess "yes". Who on earth thought it should be named WTF? How about LMFAO? Or like my last company:
"Safety Has Its Time" - one of the contractors won an award for that slogan; submitted it just after he received an offer to work for another company
I sincerely hope that was sarcasm.
