The only possible explanation that doesn't make Motorola sound like evil bastards is the concept that they're simply asking for this information in an effort to be closer to their customers.
Unfortunately, their completely faceless corporate tone and unwilliingness to so much as comment on their new Radius policy totally contradicts the idea of doing right by the customer. I wasn't even able to find a press release on their corporate website.
When will companies realize that if they alienate customers and screw the local businessman across our street, customers will go somewhere else??
AOL's software really has a lot more features than a browser alone, and i don't think it would be a hard sell in this market.
I wouldn't be surprised if AOL put out something like <a href="http://www.thinknic.com">the NIC</a>. This a computer that does *nothing* but go online using either a modem or ethernet and run Netscape using a custom Linux 2.2 kernel. Apparently anyone who knows how to push buttons can set one up. They cost $200-300. There's one for Grandma...:)
They have to conduct the survey to the telephone because they including people who do not use the net as well as regualar junkies, and everything inbetween... well that's the plan anyway - or what i got of it. If they must survey some people over the phone, they must survey everyone over the phone, because this is how research is conducted. The results would be skewed if only some people were surveyed over the telephone.
I don't know if they'd have the lyrics to the that song, seein' as it's in sanscrit, but you can search through all kindsa song lyrics at the International Lyrics Server.
I am certain that the geek population would not allow the presence of Leo DeCRAPio in a Star Wars flick. I am not afraid.
I think the graphic representation of the MP3 player could have been done better in MS Paint. I also can't imagine why the product would look like that. it more closely resembles a Caller ID that anything else.

Well, the votes biased, but i'll buy the game when they come out. That's all that matters.
