Couldn't Netflix create a VPN endpoint service for the streaming devices to connect to, and then access the Netflix content near the VPN? Comcast/AT&T won't know what is in the traffic to throttle it. Does Comcast/AT&T then begin to throttle or block endpoint IPs?
I've had this happen, although not at the 40% like they claim. Mine frequently happened around 20%, and over time increasingly around 30%. By that time I swapped it out with Apple for a replacement due to that issue, plus two other unrelated defects.
A friend had this happening to him too, he got a free replacement phone from Apple. To me, that suggests Apple is aware of the issue.
It's a unfortunate bug to have. If you don't have a charging cord/device near by, and are stranded on a deserted road with a phone which has the power, but doesn't think it has the power, you could be SOL.
My dogs occasionally rush at jump at the TV when they see other animals. Luckily the TV is far enough back on the TV stand that they haven't reached it, yet. This channel will not work in my household.
I was on their site last weekend, looking for a new BIOS and drivers. Their support web server was completely down. I called up to complain, and their tech support told me that they are aware of it, and have been having problems with it for a couple weeks now as they are changing their infrastructure. A couple weeks!!! Even their tech support couldn't access it, or even tell me what the BIOS version number was. This compromise is probably a result of an incorrectly configured server, which is a result of incompetent admins. All this results in them losing me as a customer. Good riddance Asus.
I also competed once. Afterwards, we learned from our professor who was on the judges panel, that on one of the questions, in addition to the 5 lines of example data that was provided, they judges only passed one additional line of test data in the actual verification process.
I enjoyed the contest. The big screen in front of the classroom with a running list of the leaders was definitely motivational. Our little known university was beating some big name schools for a while, but eventually we fell behind.

Google Finance, for whatever reason, uses Flash for their financial charts. The non-flash version are a throwback to the mid 90's.

Since so many people are speculating about what this "can" will look like, here is a picture of it. http://www.engadget.com/entry/7706925370302336/
True. But you can see the CD/DVD drive in almost every picture, and they don't really change between models, so you can use that for size reference.
