I unwittingly let my son play runescape, and even dumber paid for extra "gold".
here is how that process works.
1. pay someone for gold. 2. meet that person in the game, get the gold 3. get robbed of the gold within minutes by another player 4. repeat (if dumb enough to buy more gold)
I feel these online games exist for one reason, to create an environment where users can be scammed.
1. inadequate network 2. price gouging 3. treating iPhone users differently than other customers (see 2) 4. crappy support (see 1)
I have an iPhone, an original, I love it. but I am SERIOUSLY considering an alternative as I am just flat out disgusted with AT&T and APPLE for their behavior. FWIW, our home has 4 Macs, and no PCs.
the iPhone needs to be opened up to other carriers, plain and simple.
in my humble opinion, AT&T/Apple isn't a whole lot different than a mob operation and should be broken up with extreme predjudice.
the bigger question I have is why does the Fed allow phone carriers to consistently scam their citizens?
so what happens when an app crashes, and zombies exist. I can't wait to hear about gramma not being able to open ANY applications because all 3 games she played last night are zombified and not showing on the task bar.
is spyware exempt? that will be a huge factor in people not being able to start any application. if 3 spyware apps are open, can they start McAfee to clean them? or would that go over the limit?
this could be fun. like watching those staged building demolitions in Vegas.

they may as well lobby, they sure aren't working hard to extend coverage.
lets get our nation completely dependent on 24x7x365 cell usage, then ban it
this must be stopped!
and sold across the mall hallway from the apple store, which will have customers.
I would expect it's so kids don't share sweaty straps and spread germs or other funk.
So it seems the posts here are telling this person to use a different method to watch the movie.
the question remains, why is Linux sucking up batteries at 2,3 times the rate of OS X and even Windows XP ?
I imagine the fragile AT&T cell towers could also be brought down by this? I am sure it's exponentially more dangerous than the google phone app.
so two of the best 3.0 features don't even exist, multimedia text and TETHERING.
seems to me like a open and shut case of BAIT and SWITCH
I never ever thought I would think of Apple as scummier than microsoft. but I am coming around.
how is that google phone coming along?
to being real journalists? are they just trying to protect the nonsense half-ass poorly written claptrap they currently pawn off as news?

they want their obsolete file system back
is there a clue stick big enough to enlighten the federal government?
my iTunes isn't seeing any update from the original 3.0 upgrade yesterday.
Lotus Notes = Ray Ozzie
if this man is speaking, I am not listening
there should be a zombie attack override, you don't want the car to die if you have a posse of zombies on your tail!
wow, they just relabel end user testing "free release" and it's somehow different.
this is gonna be fun, consumers will want a real 1.0 and when this beta code eats all of grammas photos there will be a backlash
the shows the BSD license is more free, as it doesn't dictate what you can or cannot do with your code.

and it turns into a fully functioning unicorn!
really. and it's a secure unicorn too
odd, because Easter bunny science is on the cutting edge in Christian scientific circles.
at least that what Santa Claus told me
yeah, who wants consistent data, that's for old guard type people
gee I deposited my paycheck three weeks ago and it's not in my account yet?
bank: don't worry, it will be there eventually.
they will continue to promote it as they do now, but will have more control over it.
(the control thing is likely not a good thing overall IMHO)
But no way they dump Java (and then of course Websphere), their services business is reliant heavily on these products.
IBM loves Java, they will love it more when they own it.
please?
just assholes?
