  1. Re:In Canada as well on Largest Citywide Wi-Fi Deployment · · Score: 1

    with the amount of people on the free network you'll never get high downstream / upstream speeds, but it'll be great for surfing the web or checking your email on the go from your PDA, nearly anywhere in the city until everyone saturates the upstream filesharing on bittorrent

  2. Re:Why like AT&T? on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 1

    Most people selling phones on eBay are selling unlocked ones. There are also a lot of people who will unlock phones for a small fee (about $20), but mostly in Europe. There are also DIY ways to unlock your phone with a service cable and/or internet connection. You can try getting the code from the provider who sold it, but they probably won't release it.

  3. Why like AT&T? on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 1

    Try the Sony-Ericsson T68i or T610. They are GSM phones, so simply get one unlocked and use it on T-Mobile, Cingular, or any other GSM provider. I have both of them on T-Mo and they work great. Both have Bluetooth, an infrared, POP3 and IMAP e-mail clients, and GPRS (doesn't use airtime). If you want to do ssh, you can connect to the 'net on a computer through the Bluetooth or infrared port.

  20. Re:Expect more of this. on Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes · · Score: 1

    Nobody is forcing you to use iTunes. If you have a problem with its DRM, just find another program.

  21. Re:Future looks bright on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1
    I cannot use it to play DRM-encumbered music, because Apple has not chosen to make Linux software available for their protection scheme.
    And why should they? If you are downloading music from them, you have a Mac. Do you really expect them to a Linux version of iTunes?
  22. Re:Selling out on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    If my iPod played OGG Vorbis files, I would re-rip all of my music. I am sure many people would be happy to fit more music on their devices. The first company to make a good portable that plays Vorbis (or a firmware update) could make a killing.
