    Just the big players so far. Smaller ones will follow so as not to be left out.

  12. Re:That's nice on Skype App Updated, Allows 3G Calling On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't apple in this case, its AT&T. Apple has had to limit features by request ( demand ) due to AT&T's inability to handle the traffic.

  13. Re:Er, not to intrude on the soapbox on Skype App Updated, Allows 3G Calling On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apple is "Evil to the core(tm)". By choosing their products and harsh requirements for software reliability I'm forcing vendors to jump through hoops to sell me something. Maybe that's the trade-off for a device that just works.

    It means they will just oversell what they have, and limit you when you try to use it.

  18. Waste water on Intel Sucks Up Water Amid Drought In China · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does Intel *consume* the water like coke does, or do they just use it then eject it out of the building? I bet their 'dirty water' is cleaner then what coke puts in their process and could be reclaimed for human use.

    2gb/mo wouldn't even handle my email these days with all the uncontrolled spam, let alone being bombarded by all the advertisements on almost every web page in existence.. If the limit here was that low i wouldn't even bother getting service.
