I've personally been very happy with my service from AT&T overall, but still have had a couple complaints. So I considered switching to verizon because they seem to have a very good reputation.
I went to the verizon store the other day and the sales person was surprised that I hadn't had more problems with AT&T and mentioned that most of the people trying to use number portability were
coming from AT&T. But you know what, verizon doesn't have a single phone with bluetooth and only one known option that works with apple computers. AT&T has several that do both and thier internet access doesn't use airtime (verizons does). So, I'm sticking with AT&T but still wish someone had the ultimate phone- bluetooth, mac and the ability to use ssh without spending $500+.
I don't want a camera or to even browse the web, just give me mail and shell and I'd be extremely happy.
My ex-roommate had sprint and his calls to report dropped calls would get dropped all the time, but he got it because he could talk for free to other sprint users. another friend just signed a two-year contract with sprint and I hope she has better luck- there's no way I'd go with sprint.
Now, when will they finally let you transfer the phone you like to a different service provider?
Moral of the story: Automating killing machines with just enough intelligence to distinguish between a lifeform and a rock and giving them power supplies that last for hundreds of thousands of years is a really, really, monumentally stupid idea.
I have a cheap ass wardrobe from Ikea that works great. the top shelve is for hdds, keyboards and other weird shit, while I use the coat hanger rod for cables and other wiring. the bottom shelf works great for extra cases and small parts in shoe boxes.
this was actually given to me and has solved so many problems since I got it. it's cheap, but it's been a great solution.

apple began offering applecare for the ipod as of today.
I've seen all his shows that come through chicago for the last few years except for the recent holloween show- forgot about it.
very cool, the robots are awesome and certain parts of it will definitely remind you of practicing profanities when you were 5....
my favorite song is call 'I wish I had a pussy I could crawl into': it's about finding 50 ft woman with a six foot pussy he could go into and not have to shower or eat or work or dishes and just live in the pussy...
it seems odd that for each point, they suggest different mp3 players- which all have some of the same faults the ipod was critiziced for previously. I also don't think that the lack of support for windows media files means it won't work at all with other services, I think the services need to give you an oportunity to convert the music to mp3 or some other less controled standard.
the end of the article says it all: Of course, if you don't care about low battery life, aren't fond of jogging, have ample disposable income, don't need to record/encode music portably, and want to purchase music downloads only from the iTunes Music Store, then the iPod is the best the way to go. While not ideal for some niche activities, it's still hands down the best-designed MP3 player in the world.
Update: What's New: iTunes 4.1.1 includes improved performance when using your iPod, addresses an incompatibility with Windows 2000 and older third-party CD burning software, and improves support for non-standard mp3 files. Also, the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" preference is now turned off by default.
It also trashes a moderate number of computers on install
An updated version (4.1.1) became available for windows yesterday and it addresses the known issues from the initial release last week.

I started reading it for the mob references, but kept on reading for the details of how to run an illegal gambling organization."

he was even skilled enough to lose the last election he ran in to dead guy
and even with the hole in the side of your house- it will heat it during the coldest winter;)

then don't buy one...
I love my ipod and so do all my friends!
just look here
actually, I didn't even know about this till I saw it in someone's earlier post in this story.
so, you didn't bother to RTFA?
their talking about the moving parts inside the ipod, ie:hard disk drive
it seems odd that for each point, they suggest different mp3 players- which all have some of the same faults the ipod was critiziced for previously.

the moon
I've always felt trapped in Microsoft Hell
rhymes with GONAD!
and of course, my favorite song
it warms my heart to know that artists will be getting all the money that's due to them. Musicians always look so poor when I see them on television. Finally, they can afford the lifestyle they deserve.

"I'm sure all three services will evolve and get better, and others will enter the fray. But, for now, iTunes is the best choice on Windows."
isn't that the guy at the airport?
what they're talking about
they'll probably blame it on the music I listen to....
