that was my first thought when i saw this. why not have the ipod dock somewhere in the instrument cluster where its display is visable as well. as i read it, this thing only displays *TRACK NUMBERS*. that is lame.
Just because you're not a terrorist when you buy your "I'm a good citizen" card, doesn't mean you won't be as soon as the card's in your wallet.
I could buy my card, and knowing that I won't be patted down at the airport, smuggle on a pointy stick or other "device of terror" and go to town. BAAAaaad idea Brill....and nice suspenders, btw. [snicker]
I'm the entire IT department for my University's newspaper. And let me tell you, I love macs.:-) Our shop is great - couple Xserv's, couple more osX servers, and 60+ mac workstations. It's 4:00 (read: crunch time for a college paper's news dept), and I'm kicking back and reading Slashdot like usual.:-) Our systems "just work.":-)
Here in the US of A, the big advantage of SMS is not cost-based, but the ability to use it when a vocal conversation is just not possible. ex::
- big lecture classes with attendance policies. everyone has had at least one of these, one where you knew the subject material inside and out but were still required to come. sleeping is *much* more noticable than sending an sms:-)
- communication with your friends and such at concerts/bars/clubs where there's no way you could hear what was coming out the speaker.
my favorite use of SMS, however, is combining preset "quick-notes" on my phone with a procmail recipie on my mail server that makes my phone a handy-dandy remote control for my home computer/server. mail server acting up? restart the thing remotely! want weather, news, or sports scores? i crafted up a shell script to grab them off of my favorite site and send them back to my phone in plain text. the possibilities are endless!
The Register has a very informative story on this same bust that specifically states that
None of the arrests are connected to the recent SQL Slammer Worm, the NHTCU states.
In fact, this related a completely different (and obscure) worm called the "TK worm." The folks at El Reg did some detective work...check it out.
someone needs to check their facts

carson daly has absolutely NO talent.
what he does all day : reads a teleprompter, asks lame scripted interview questions, and occasionally ad libs a "yo, check out this new video from britney spears" for an audience of pre-pubescent girls. high profile, yes. talent? who has less?
