Its not the GPS chip thats expensive, its the maps that are included with the GPS device. I have GPS in my cheap POS motorola i265 that they gave us at work.
2. Renaming Isn't Easy. The process of renaming files is highly mouse-centric on the Mac. There's no F2 option (as there is on Windows) that lets you select the file and press F2 to expose the filename-editing mode. The mouse process requires very precisely timed mouse clicks. Anyone who has ever been forced to rename a long list of files under both Windows and Mac operating systems will likely agree that the Windows way is easier. --Michael Cullison I think its actually easier to do this on the mac Select the file and press the "return" key. Only problem with this, if you are used to launching apps in windows with the enter key, you may accidentally rename files while your at it.
We have done it. Anyone who lives in a rural area with lots of cow farms has either been a part of or knows people who have been Cow Tippin'. The results of this study just go to prove ONLY that it isnt easy to tip cows. For every 1 cow we actually tipped...you get about 6 or 7 that you just end up ticking off. What you need to Tip a cow:
1) 3+ fairly strong big guys..(200+lbs each)
2) Sneak into a cowfield without waking or alarming any cows.
3) Find one that is sleeping pretty soundly.
4) Get about 3 feet from it.
5) All at once, charge the cow and hit it in the neck, shoulder, and hip. This will give you a good solid surface on which to exert the most force.
6) Now run as FAST as you can and get out of the pin... you will have a really ticked off cow charging around.. hopefully it will be startled enough to not see which way you ran.
7) Watch out for cow patties...they are VERY slippery if fresh.
If all went well, you have successfully defied science and tipped a cow.
I have found that the best way to fix the problem with my 2.4ghz digital s.s. phone and my Airport Extreme is to use a corded phone. And to also use the oven instead of the microwave. I gotta get me one of those "802.11 friendly" phones
Hey..I paid full price($200each) for the pair of T616s that my fiancee and I use. Most of the higher end phones are really expensive. When are the phone companies going to start lowering the cost of the higher end phone?
Wouldn't easy to use Free with Purchase wireless bring in more business?
Seems to me, if a coffee shop in my area had wireless access for paying customers, I would certainly visit their often.
The only coffee shop in my town that offers wireless has a subscription based deal sponsored by Intel Centrino that charges your credit card for your usage. When I heard that they were setting up wireless, I was planning on visiting there very often. But when I found out how much of a hassle and that there would be credit card charges, I have never tried it out, and I have yet to seen a single person using it.
If someone where to setup a free with purchase wireless setup that would generate a 30-min bandwidth limited temporary username/password, Im sure that the extra business would over the cost of the equipment in no time.
