LOL, The dreams of a Euro Nutjob.
Why don't you go get a job instead of trolling slashdot all day?
Excuse me, but are you trying to imply my Pre isn't a smartphone? Because I believe it is, and I am paying $69.99 before taxes per month for unlimited service.
The iPhone may have a high resale value, but that comes at the cost of paying $600-$1200 more over the course of a two year contract vs a Pre.
The main killer app for an unlimited data plan IMO is the capability of having always on email/web browsing and streaming internet radio via pandora. I regularly use 1-3GB/month through my data plan.
Then there is the fact that AT&T price gouges on text messaging, and the network congestion issues that they have been having.
Interesting, too bad I bought the phone already, this would have been nice to take advantage of, overall the Pre is a great phone. Very comparable to my 1st gen iPhone functionality wise, and better in many ways.

AFAIK they have been working on VASIMR for over a decade now... This isn't exactly "news"
No there was working silicon at the tech show, it was encoding the HD stream live.

The other problem is these companies just LOVE to release new editions of textbooks with slightly modified question numbers.
Fortunately some of my college professors would simply photocopy the questions for us realizing this insanity.
That's their own fault for choosing to live in Manhattan, living in the other boroughs is much cheaper.
Ok asshat, you do not speak for google.
For you... I've also been using Office since the early 90s and I love the new interface.
That's because the programming itself is menial work. The algorithms are more important which the pseudo code describes well enough.
Considering L4D is primarily a mutliplayer game, I think they do ;-)
I don't care who you are, I'm not letting anyone near my laptop ;-)

Who says they aren't available for purchase?
That's what she said.
It doesn't necessarily imply that revenue will shrink, more likely growth will stagnate which is *almost* as bad and is already happening.
And the reason XP netbooks are selling significantly better than Linux netbooks is because Microsoft held consumers at a gunpoint and forced them to.
Right.
Sprint lowered the cost of their everything plan to $70/month. Big difference there.
Technology doesn't move technology, the market does. People wanted windows xp on their netbooks and they got it.
You don't need the latest CPU or graphics chip when all you do online is watch porn.
A netbook does fine, heck you can even hold it up with one hand while keeping the other busy!
*An iPhone with AT&T is what I was comparing to.

The fact that you're on slashdot is contradictory to your post.
Besides, it takes 10 seconds of middle school level math to do.

They changed their plan, the basic(Smartphone Basic that is) $70/month plan includes unlimited mobile-mobile now.
Palms $70/month plan includes unlimited data/texting/mobile-mobile(Any network) calls and 450minutes for landlines/business lines.
To get an equivalent plan on the iphone would cost near $120/month, the difference being $50/month or $600/year.
BG&E was also made for PC!
