I am over 50 and I can safely say I HAVE NEVER SEEN, IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, EVER, seen a letter delivered overnight anywhere for anything under any and all circumstances by the USPS. They even tell you that overnight delivery is 'maybe 2-3 days'. And the last several years, here in zipcode 27615 Not only do we NEVER get mail before 6pm, we're lucky if they show up all scheduled days. 5 out 6 is considered pretty good. And that's just for pick up. We stopped dropping our letters in our own mailbox for pickup YEARS ago because if we were lucky they wouldn't disappear to never be delivered half the time. Today it takes about TWO WEEKS to send a letter from one zipcode in Raleigh NC to another zipcode in Raleigh NC. And when ordering anything online with shipment via USPS, on average 3-5 business days is approximately one MONTH. Netflix? I dropped the disk in the mail Wed. It's Monday and the next disk will come today if we're super fortunate but probably tomorrow. In my local PO when you trudge there to do something like send your tax return registered mail receipt requested, while you're waiting on the next employee to keel over from obesity and diabetes, you get to watch on not 3, not 4, not 5, but SIX 50" flat screens overhead extolling the wonders of stamps depicting silent film stars, state flowers, and Christmas.
It's all funny when Anonymous goes after brie nibbling western liberal states and the occasional innocuous fat target like a television network. Yesterday they went after the Turkish government, not known for their shyness when persecuting Kurds and Armenians. Imagine the fun times when they go after Vladimir Putin.
It's like those tools who 'accidentally' stumbled into Iran or North Korea? And you mean mommy and daddy didn't bail them out? Why I am incensed at those country's lack of compassion and tolerance for youthful hijinks.
Every time you find an Anonymous person. You cut them apart, with power tools on television. I mean it's all fun and games when you go after pussies who run banks and movie studios in the US but countries like Turkey or Russia's grasp of 'due process' is abstract, at best.
There's going to be a new reality show on tv - 'Pressure Drop', where they just take nerds and kick them out the helicopter.
Sprint has a long dirty history of allowing you update firmware in order to brick it. I've bricked two different HTC phones this way. One killed the radio the other killed all ringers including vibrate.
We are entering into de industrialization de technologicification age. The end of the 21st century will look a lot more like the beginning of the 19th than the beginning of the 21st. My grandchildren will read about the Space Age and it will sound like mythology and folklore to them.
And needs water cooling. I mean this is Windows, no? Plus, do you really think that weekly 300MB patches are going to cruise along on your cell phone network?
Is about about slanderous as you can be. Mission accomplished, Apple Service Dudes! Seriously, this like getting an apology from my mother, e.g. "I'm sorry you're such a jerk!!!" Gee thanks mom. I think I'll take back that car I let you use for free now.
And when the ISPs see a huge increase in streaming traffic, what do you think they're going to do, I mean BESIDES toss in massive ads and jack up prices?
Digital cameras still rely on high quality front end optics. I don't care how dense your CCD is, you need quality optics up front. Just like the Hubble's mirror was 1 1 millionth of a flea's foot out of whack.
Too many HTC phones, including mine, rely on crappy clunky WinMo 6.1 and 6.5. Which is insane because WinMo has about 7% of the PDA phone OS market. And Win7 on phones is going to be more of the same junk. So it's either Google or Blackberry. And Blackberry is never going to open up their stuff for other phones. Never. That leaves Google. If you were a phone would you buy Palm to go up against Google? Why? That seems like a stupid idea.

They run, what? 11-13% hardware failure rate in the field? Just rename it Xboxski.
Would you rather get brain melting prion disease or rabies?
I am sure that will win them friends. Hey world, we lit a nuke on Dayton to show how unsafe it is, don't you love us now?
They care about how to share it. But there's only so many ways you can click and post to twitter/fb aren't there?

I say napalm the lot of them.
Damn it all

And I'm ok with that.
For dinner. My policy is to kill and eat anyone who does anything I don't like. No really, it's posted, you were warned.

And you're welcome for all the fish.

Pay for it yourself and then be subject to their rules and configurations. Sure. How's that P2P client going to run?

Sounds like a bonanza for hardware vendors. That can't possibly be the reason, can it?
And fake an orgasm.
I hope Hempstead bans telephone polls and electrical wires too. And streetlights, and traffic signals.
As long as it protects ME when I travel there. In any case, I am fine with this.
40 cars standing motionless at an intersection are getting exactly 0.0 mpg. With the added benefit of all that extra pollution that zero mpg brings.

But the point is that not enough people like it. It's market share in the phone space is very small.

My corporate net blocks a website dedicated to fighting racism and hate speech on the basis that it 'has' racism and hate speech.
DERP.
