What Starbucks offers has almost nothing in common with coffee.
You mean, except for their brewed coffee that starts at around a buck and includes free refills? It's easy to hate the frou-frou drinks they serve, but the still do offer basic coffee at reasonable prices.
I'm surprised at not seeing Verizon mentioned in the summary, as I've heard pretty much everywhere that they have the best network. Perhaps Verizon focuses more on phone service than data?
You've heard they have the best network because their own commercials are everywhere. They do have (probably) the widest coverage area, but it's not the fastest in all areas, and as with every other radio-based technology, doesn't work everywhere. My personal opinion is they are solidly mediocre. They're the Honda Accord to AT&T's Jaguar S-type. When it works, AT&T outperforms; but you're going to spend a lot of time in the shop. Verizon will get you were you want to go, but not particularly fast.
So you want AT&T (and all other providers) to be a dumb pipe or not? This form of action would just be opening the door to traffic shaping, preferential treatment, etc; basically everything net neutrality is against. Do you really want to give AT&T an excuse to monitor the content you access?
It's the cops' job to determine if this actual douchebag was responsible. If they're not able to, they have no reason to arrest or detain him. The Washington constitution is much stricter on what constitutes justification for arrest. Douchebaggery by association is not a crime. He was arrested illegally, and the PD lied about the circumstances and evidence, possibly perjuring themselves. There may be innocent people who will be freed/have their records expunged because of this man's work. He is a hero for calling them on it, and catching them with what appears to be hard evidence.
If you publicly embarrass somebody for acting stupidly. They often think twice before acting stupidly again.
Tell that to the judge who sued the dry cleaners for millions because they lost his pants (and lost his job because he wouldn't let it go), or Orly Taitz, etc. Some people just won't learn.
Yes! I patiently wait for movies and music I want to hit the torrent sites. Sometimes I have to wait patiently for a whole hour, sometimes it's a whole month!
I have an image in my mind of the Price is Right Cliffhangers game, where the guy goes right over the top when you lose. Oh, and the song is now firmly implanted in my brain for the rest of the day.
And the $130 extra for 3G ? A lot of mobiles don't cost that, and have a hell of a lot more than 3G built in.
The mobiles don't cost that because they're subsidized (I'm assuming US here). The iPad's data is contract free, and so it basically contains an unsubsidized 3G card, and so costs more.
This also has a lot to say about the future of wireless, as both AT&T and Verizon are moving to the same flavor of LTE. When that happens, AT&T will be running on more towers due to the weakness of GMS, which should give them better LTE capacity and coverage than Verizon, due to having to have a more tower-dense network.
AT&T's 700mhz spectrum is reserved solely for LTE.
In the future, AT&T's 700 MHz spectrum holdings will provide the foundation for deployment of next-generation wireless broadband platforms such as HSPA+ and LTE.
I'm absolutely no expert, but weren't many of those stations pumping 50,000 watts (with some short lived experiments with 250-500 kilowatts) through their antennas? So there was no power demands on the receiver side, but a significant demand from the transmitter. Is the more recent lower-power transmission model more efficient?
Whether true or not, magicJack's argument is that the wireless spectrum licenses don't extend into the home. Though, I guess the moment the signal bleeds outside, they're in trouble.
AT&T is reserving the 700mhz spectrum it won in the auction and purchased from Aloha Wireless Partners exclusively for their 4G LTE network. You won't see it up and running until about 2011, which is not a bad turnaround time to basically build an entire network overlay with new spectrum, radios, etc.
Assuming for a second that he actually has any ground to stand on.
Since his name is related to his crime (and felony conviction), wouldn't newspapers be protected by South Dakota's Son of Sam law, preventing him from profiting from stories/descriptions of his crimes? I guess he could win and give the money to charity, but that would mean even more publicity. The whole thing's ridiculous and he deserves whatever he gets.

This is obviously all AT&T's fault. Will they ever get anything right? Poor Apple!

This may be the case, if professors weren't often the authors of the textbooks in the first place.
I'm looking forward to setting the disco ball hanging in the middle of my living room on fire in front of 20-50 of my friends. What could go wrong?
Maybe they tried to "report" it like the guy who found the iPhone 4 prototype tried to "report" it.
Goatse: "Hello, AT&T customer service? I found a hole in your website that gives me access to iPad user email addresses."
AT&T drone:"Huh?"

is ahead of this as usual.

How about a spoiler warning, ass.

And large banks.
And airlines.
And auto manufacturers.
And newspapers.
And publishers.
And Malls/retail.
God, I just got myself depressed again.

At least he didn't say, "digital entry device".

So Intuit doesn't prepare their own taxes?

And this may be the case until the next iPhone refresh, when the market will probably switch back.
