Two years ago, I was a Verizon fanboy. Loved the system because the service in NJ was so damn good. Then came the camera and Bluetooth phones. WHen I saw that Verizon didn't support them, I jumped ship to AT&T and got a Nokia 3650. It's a damn fine phone and AT&T doesn't cripple it. Now I can send and receive pictures to/from my phone, set wallpapers, dowload apps, and create my own wav-based ringtones. Why Verizon won't allow this is beyond me. $0.99 for a song on the iTunes Music Store and $2 for a ringtone from Verizon, AND you have to pay to transfer it? What "business model" does that fall under other than "greedy bastards"?
I'm not anti-mod either, but I'm against the POTENTIAL for cheaters.
XBoxes are cheap. If you want to mod one, get another. I was thinking about doing that. One for gaming, and one for Linux.

I'm sure that most, if not all of you that bash the Newton never touched one because it had an Apple logo on it. It was a gorgeous machine. My friend still has his 2100 and brought it over a month ago. I have an iPaq, but using the 2100 reminded me of how great the Newton OS was.
I agree...it's hard to imagine what the Newton would have been like if it wasn't abandoned. I think it would have given the other PDAs a run for their money. In fact, they already had Windows connectivity built in, so it wasn't a Mac-only system by any means.

The disclaimer says that the CD won't work on it. To most people, this simply means that it won't work and get ejected. It DOESN'T say that it will CRASH your computer.
I smell a lawsuit.

Are you glad? Are you glad that there's no protection against cheaters on your PS2? Mike
