And while you wait for that DSL to come back up, be it a few minutes or hours, can you play this game? Stream movies? Hmmm and Comcast wonders why I don't want their phone service when it takes a day or two to roll a truck.
I want something that I can sit on the nightstand and pull up a VPN connection to restart an app server at 3am over the VPN, something the iPad sure as hell can't do.
You think geeks care about "social events"? According to the person you are replying to geeks only care about who builds their CPU and other computer stuff, there's no world out there where they go to parties, or perhaps build servers and apps to host their fantasy football leagues because the services already out their aren't good enough.
Half the ads in the article require a username and password, you would think a site like computerworld would be savvy enough not to post content restricted by login credentials in an article for the web
Comparing a physical book to an ebook is an apples to oranges comparison. You physical book is sellable, loanable, donatable and not DRMed. The retail markup? That's what? 40%? hmmmm So, "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett is a best seller right now, with an MSRP of 24.95. Amazon lists it for 9.50 physical book and 8.55 Kindle version. Which do you think is more profitable?
They're not going to accomplish this by forcing people to lock into certain stores for everything based on device, and charging more than the equivalent paperback. I guess the wal-mart model is needed, undercut everything until everything else has packed up and moved on and then jack prices.
You don't own the book, you can't sell it, you can't loan it and you can't donate it to a library. The paperback edition will eventually cost less than the 9.99 to 14.99 that Macmillan wants to charge. They need to enter the real world where you can go to a used bookstore a couple of months after a book is published and get it for less than their ebook prices.
I think you'll find that when you DO have occasion to look into your email archive, it's much easier to find a specific email than to find a specific tweet or facebook update.

What UK English, it's Australian English.
Mag makes LED torches too
Are they still making buggy whips?

Another lie perpetuated by his haters

Looks like he skipped spelling and grammar.

Then you have no idea what you are talking about. Move along.
They should kick the people off who are jerks, to smell, too. Those are even more offensive

You can loan it to one friend, once, for two weeks. You both need to own a Nook to do it.
Not exactly the same as loaning it around to all your friends, or family.

Who interrupts a theatre of paying customers for a birthday party? Hell, I'd be pissed if someone was doing this and I was trying to watch a movie.
Salaried implies you get paid a set amount per year to do your job. No more, no less. No OT. There may be a bonus
It's not free if you are paying $79 a year for it...
The pricing structure is the same as AT&T's

Just because Sun does it doesn't mean it's a good practice, from Apple or Sun.
Two wrongs don't make a right, didn't you ever learn that?
