I can't RTFA so I'll rely on those smarter than me on here for an educated guess/answer:
Could this help my son with Cebral Palsy (resulting from diffuse periventricular leukomalacia), or are stem cells still the best bet? I know it's hard to determine without specifics, but a good guess would help. Thanks.
Who said anything about removing it? I'm saying they should investigate how the leak happened, and fix the problem at the source instead of running around like a schoolkid trying to catch the pages of his term paper blowing in the wind. Train people to redact properly. Or better yet, to better determine what actually has to be redacted in the first place, and what really belongs to the public.

It doesn't matter. According to David Pogue, even if you block data, the moment you hit that button, you get sent a message that says something to the effect that "data is blocked on this device", but since that message is data, you're still charged $1.99 to receive it! They actually charge you $1.99 for that error message too.
Your only hope is that Tmobile picks it up, as Apple has stated they're not going to build a CDMA iPhone. Would you trust Tmobile to handle a 5,000% increase in data traffic? They've had two major outages in the last month, under regular traffic. Otherwise, you have to wait for LTE deployment, and then for Apple to develop and release an LTE device, at which point you might be better off sticking with AT&T, as they'll have more towers up than Verizon (because GSM required denser tower distribution) meaning they'll probably have better coverage.
Verizon seems very confident int their network, however they are apparently already preparing for a backlash from any network degradation by smartphone users by doubling their cancellation fees on smart devices.
Even with the decrease of $10/month, that's still $110 to cancel your contract in the 23rd month of a two-year contract.
1xEV-DO: Also known as Evolution, Data-Only, this subset of CDMA2000 runs on CDMA networks and reaches peak speeds of 2.4Mbps and averages 300Kbps to 600Kbps. As its name implies, EV-DO networks handle only high-speed data; handsets supporting EV-DO would use the underlying CDMA network for voice calls. Both Verizon and Sprint are launching 1xEV-DO service.
UMTS: Universal Mobile Telephone Service, the 3G service that GSM carriers AT&T and T-Mobile plan to roll out for its subscribers. UMTS boasts speeds of up to 2Mbps, although users will typically see speeds in the 300Kbps-to-400Kbps range.
SO EVDO is comparable to UMTS, with HSDPA and HSUPA (3.5G services) being much faster than both. EVDO is 3x faster than EDGE (average 90Kbps), but that's a 2.5G service. AT&T has more UMTS than HSPA coverage, but they don't show that in their "3G coverage" map, so they're still comparing different generations (3G to 3.5G services).
On a final note, they also neglect to mention that they do not support simultaneous voice and data on their 3G nework.
What Verizon appears to be describing as 3G service on their super-red map is CDMA (1x), which is actually closer in speed to AT&T's EDGE network (2.5G). For the AT&T map they're using W-CDMA(HSPA+ 14.4mb/s) coverage. So they're comparing their 2G (or 2.5G) service to ATT 3.5G service area, in terms of speed. W-CDMA won't ever be deployed to 100% of AT&T's network, certainly not before they roll out LTE. What they should be comparing themselves to is AT&T's EDGE coverage map, which I believe is 100% of AT&T's licensed coverage area. Also, the slowest of AT&T's 3G service is faster than Verizon's EVDO service.
So H1N1 is really a genetically-engineered virus made by Lucent Technologies at the behest of the big telecom/cable cabal to be not quite deadly, but bad enough to send everyone at home for a couple weeks. When everyone fires up their connections for torrents, MMOs, and "internet research" (porn), it gives the bought-and-paid-for congress the perfect excuse to shoot down FCC network neutrality rules and allow telcom/cable to throttle connections and shape traffic, thus ensuring people can order their fleshlights and Sex and the City box sets at the expense of WOW players and pirates looking for movies to watch while they're laying in bed for days at a time. It's so simple it's brilliant!
Brittany Lafoy probably cares. The story doesn't say if she had a phone with her or not, but imagine if she had been trapped in her car for two days, with a working cell phone that was unable to make calls because the windows blocked her signal. It's not unreasonable for an external areal to break off in a crash, so that's not a 100% solution either.
I believe that Apple's stated reason for rejecting the app was because it replaced some of the core dialer functionality of the iPhone and messed with the GUI. Not that necessarily holds water, as I believe Skype and Vonage may do the same thing, and Apple is saying they're working to get those apps updated and on the store.
1. No, this doesn't have anything to do with Google voice, as Google Voice isn't VOIP.
2. No, won't hurt the voice network, as the voice network and the 3G data network are not the same. If anything it will help the 2G voice network by offloading some traffic to the data network, which has more capacity and is receiving the preferred 850mhz spectrum.
3. This was inevitable as AT&T is switching to LTE, which will easily support VOIP; you cellular calls in general will probably be handled by VOIP.
It's too early to think of anything else, but these are the most often misunderstood aspects of the announcement.
In other exciting news:
Serta has decided to start charging consumers who lay down on their mattresses in show rooms.
GM has decided to start charging people at dealerships who want test drives.
Levis has decided to charge everyone who takes a pair of their jeans into a fitting room.
DeBeers has decided to charge people who to engagement rings taken out of jewelry cases to try on their fingers.
"The strong magnetic fields did not seem to have any negative impacts on the mice in the short term, and past studies have shown that rats did not suffer from adverse effects after 10 weeks of strong, non-levitating magnetic fields."
Sure, but put a cell phone next to their cage, and they have cancer in a week, right!?!
As a dumb Amurican, I know nothing of the carriers that are available in Finland. According to this, most of the carriers aren't Finland-only, so they can afford to subsidize their coverage in that country, which while less dense, is a much smaller market than England or Sweden. My apologies if my source material is off.
If I were a carrier that only had towers in and covered the state of Vermont, and charged heavy roaming fees when my subscribers roamed into Maine or New York, I could probably afford to charge less for the base plan too.

Maybe they can just alter the packaging to have two sides, like dual-action drain cleaner or epoxy. Open the top and it mixes when you pour.

For the purposes of this discussion, Google Voice is not VOIP. It uses regular cellular minutes, not your data connection.
