Hm, the adversarial science lab site seems to be/.'ed..
On another note, pringles tubes make very good single-axis antennas for wi-fi applications, I've managed to get about a 3 mile range using them!
Brilliant, seeing as half the intent of itunes is that you can have your music in a digital format, and use it on the move. Apple will be cutting out virtually all travelling businessmen through this. Perhaps, however, this is indicative of the new age of 'international' travel, from New Hampshire to Iowa.
To tell the truth, this shouldn't make too much of a difference, seeing as 95% of Americans never leave the continental US.
We've had free ISPs in the UK for years now, such as Freeserve etc., which are profitable because they receive a proportion of the call charge (local rate call, nation-wide), rather than it all going to the telco. Also, there are a few which had 0800 numbers (free numbers), and rely on advertising banners. While living in the states, I was somewhat bemused by the complete abscense of free ISPs, and still can't understand why they can't operate on the british model, surely it isn't *that* difficult to set up a deal with AT&T, or whoever they're connected to. Ah well, just my.02$.

No, freeserve is still free, but it's very hard to find the free numbers / account sign up, they've buried it well :)
