I hated twitter when I first heard about it, I didn't 'get' it. Now, having used it - it's the most powerful communications tool I've ever seen, period. It's a perfect replacement to SMS, I can see if events are occuring internationally almost instantly, I can broadcast things to all or keep them private. It's an incredible tool for sharing information and frankly should be the end of SMS, period.
Once you realise you can respond to some very interesting people at the click of a button you'll possibly appreciate it.
Does the man lose his home? He never sold the property and I don't see why he should be giving it up. These kind of articles never include a followup on what hapenned.
The deniers seem to be incapable of simple logic and mathematics, it's nothing short of fascinating just how short minded these people are. The earth is not limitless in it's capability of producing food, oxygen, oil and hell even landmass and space to live in. Sooner or later, oil will run out - once you understand just what's made with oil (hint: It's a hell of a lot more than just being used in vehicles) you'll start to understand. Even if oil doesn't run out soon, eventually it will, it doesn't magically grow back every 6 weeks.
That's fantastic, a country with a serious water crises in at least 3 states, with a housing price epidemic and using sweet fuck all sustainable power - but hey we can get really fast internet!

"Can NetBooks & Tablets Co-Exist?" Really? Really? We're going to have a heading like that on/. What has this become, the tablet hype needs to stop ASAP, as some of us have NO interest. Of course they can bloody well co-exist.
It's dead Jim, right out the gate. (Yes, I own a USB 3 drive) It might start to take off but Intel couldn't care less about it, they are banking on lightpeak and frankly, I don't blame them in the slightest - it might be one of those promises which actually sticks with IT for a while - it really does look like it could last decades.
This gentleman gets it, food, sex, cigarettes, PS3, 360, PC games, masturbation, alcohol - many of these things make an excellent distraction for the depressed.
Play games too much? You might be depressed not just addicted (also of note though, it's not the games 'fault' it's your distraction from the real issues) There's a reason I'm a fatty, it isn't just because I like food. Hell some people are fit as hell and depressed, gym = distraction.
I wonder just how many people in this world are truly happy, with or without their hobbies and distractions.
Guess I'm the only Aussie nerd here who thinks this network is a joke. 43 billion dollars in a country with a property pricing crises, water crises, not much (if any?) sustainable energy.
Seriously, it's a joke (and I'm no liberal either) Fuck the NBN, more important things to worry about:/
I see the ipad fanboys and crybabies have tried to give a flamebait marking on my post, pretty sad guys, pretty sad. Read what the person I responded to wrote, if you honestly think the ipad is good for business you need to get out of your parents basements and get in the real world.

Good lord I want to mod you +500. The zelous, insane ipad stuff I've had to endure on the web for the past month is driving me batty.
These people are convinced it does everything, it doesn't - not even bloody close and your post puts it in to words far better than I can. Honestly this mania has to stop, bloody apple products. (Before people respond, I have and like my iphone but for goodness sakes would some of you apple people get a grip on REALITY....)
Many of us commenting here love(d) our Xbox's - it was a true monster at playing video, it played _everything_ Why oh why did Sony block access to the accelerated video features on the PS3 under linux? XBMC would've been PERFECT on the PS3. Wifi, gigabit, 1080p output, USB ports, internal HDD:/ such a huge shame.
If Intel get this right, and the licensing costs aren't ridiculous we might finally get that 'be all and end all' cable for the PC we wanted for all those years. I went on a lightpeak google frenzy yesterday, Intel wanted to get it out for the 50'th birthday of the lazer actually.
I have my facebook settings absoloutely locked down as tight as it will allow me yet *they* continue to change what is defined as private or not. The recent big change (2 or 3 months ago?) which got a lot of media attention, their changes 'accidentally' flagged everyones stuff as insecure again and we all had to re-secure it. (No I'm not being paranoid, it literally went from 'friends only' visibility on some items to 'everyone')
Furthermore, friends of friends can see and or add me now, infact they are prompted to add me and I'm constantly having to ignore unwanted friend requests. What really bothers me though is this facebook connect business, I've never signed up for it or used it but I recently watched a Starcraft 2 match and it had my full name on the website, I don't know the technical term but my facebook cookie I'm guessing was imported by livestream, just like that - I literally clicked nothing to allow it to identify me. Apparently gawker does this same thing.
This is where they are starting to really push my envelope of tolerance. I don't have much to hide particularly but these people are starting to get downright nasty and I am beggining to feel potentially violated here. I'm not normally one of those 'must be secure!!!' types but this could be abused, how long until my entire profile is public? How long before a potential employer googles up a picture of me at a party or something with a beer in my hand acting like a tool ironically and they mistake it for being genuine behaviour?
I'm not at the point of closing my account but I've got to say, for the first time it's actually crossed my mind. Why are these people deliberately destroying themselves? If you want to exploit stupid people, go ahead but for goodness sakes please let the smart user lock their stuff down.
I'm considering doing this for a small business I support.
It's about 15 users and they currently run exchange, I'm tired of supporting it and frankly too lazy, people keep suggesting google handling the mail. I've set up a test domain and used Outlook and Thunderbird to connect to it via IMAP (that's the right way to do it, right?)
I'm in Australia on ADSL2 links, 20mbit and 16mbit are the 2 I've tested from, the performance seems 'laggy' and I'm curious what the cache implimentation of Outlook 2007 is like? I want the users experience to be very close to what they get with exchange or at least comparable.
The users have huge mailboxes (most of their work is email - a LOT of communications) so they need massive mailboxes - the smallest is 1gb and some of them have them in the 15gb range. (Please, please don't tell me 'you're doing it wrong' or 'users need to be trained to XYZ' - this is how they work, this works for them and helps them get stuff done better, it needs to be this way) Now the first major issue, besides the lag on IMAP is the folder limitation google have in place. I can create folders and subfolders and more subfolders but the path depth for the folders is quite shallow compared to an outlook PST. This is due to 'folders' being implimented via tags on gmail:/ Does anyone know a way around this or plans for it to change? I agree the users shouldn't have ridiculous folder depth but they really do need fairly extensive folder information \name of project\name of company\name of person\ for example is pretty difficult to do via IMAP Gmail:/
Anyone else have some overall general comments about moving to externally hosted mail with google (or someone else?)

As an Aussie, I'd just like to say sorry. We're not all complete morons, some of us are doing the best we can about this rubbish.

The rumour was it will occur in the next few weeks, similar to SN 1054 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1054

We do know it's the A4 chip now at least and sadly it will come as small as 16gb!
