  3. Re:I'm not conv... On the mobile side... on Internet Radio Failing to Find Support? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Mobile devices can listen to many of these streams of course. Caveats are you need adequate IP bandwidth (say 40K) and a streaming player on your phone. Some Nokia phones have this, and also all WinCE and SmartPhones. There are mobile websites that can help - one I use is radioshowlinks.com, another is virtualtuner.com, though of course there are many out there... Lots'o'caveats:
    • many streams for desktops fail on mobile devices - from version conflicts to overly complex ASX files to ...
    • WiFi seems to/used to break Real streams
    • bandwidth sometimes isn't adequate
    • etc.

  5. Counterpoint to 'official' position on An Independent Study on Offshoring IT? · · Score: 1

    An excerpt from http://alum.mit.edu/ne/whatmatters/200408/index.ht ml Basically, more grist for the mill that the story of 'no significant impact' of outsourcing is incorrect. (And, alas, the luster is also gone for McKinsey & Co. - now portrayed as just another in-the-pocket lobbyist...)
