With their 5 day guarantee, if they don't have a refurbished item ready to ship back, why would they ever reimburse the original purchase price if their warranties are typically 12-15%? It would be cheaper to just refund the warranty cost.
The company promises to either fix an item and ship it back within five days of receiving it, or reimburse the customer for the itemâ(TM)s purchase price. If one of those two things doesn't happen in five days, SquareTrade refunds the warranty price.
I couldn't finish watching it because of that noise. I have no idea how the video author can stand it, unless it's something his recording software put in (trialware?).
I loved them when I lived in north San Jose but they only offer up to 6Mbps where I am now so I went with AT&T's u-verse dsl-only plan at 12Mbps. If sonic.net ever rolls out their fios here I'll sign up the next day.
HP's acquisition of HyperSpace Linux last year, combined with today's webOS on PC announcement, makes me suspect that they will be using it as a fast boot option on their computers similar to ASUS's Express Gate.
The Palm Pre and Pixi, when placed on the Touchstone magnetic induction charging dock, function as you described (displays time, large snooze button during alarms).
On a slightly surprising note, I found that the 'Include me in "People Here Now" after I check in' option defaulted to disabled. At least they got 1/2 right, and to be honest, if you only friended people who were really your friends, letting them check you into places isn't such a horrible thing.
Mission managers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., had been operating the spacecraft in engineering mode since May 6. They took this action as they traced the source of the pattern shift to the flip of a single bit in the flight data system computer that packages data to transmit back to Earth.
Looks like EA saw how successful Sony's GT-5 Prologue was and decided that this is a viable business model for eagerly anticipated AAA titles.
If the demo purchase price could be applied as a credit on the final release I would have no problem with this, but somehow I think the chances of this being the case are pretty close to 0%.
According to NPR's Morning Edition, NASA does not have the 'Lost Moon Tapes' containing the raw footage of Neil Armstrong's historic first steps on the Moon, after all. The article claims that the original Apollo 11 recordings were likely erased. Instead, the restoration is being done from the best of the broadcast-format video obtained from a variety of sources, not the original SST signal.
Just watching the demo video of Eucalyptus's interface makes me want to purchase it. The search methods, content organization, page zooming, and page turning seem very well designed and polished to me. Integration with Project Gutenberg is a fantastic bonus.
Disclaimer: I have no relationship with either Eucalyptus or Project Gutenberg. I'm just a very impressed hopefully-soon-to-be user.
Not having purchased or followed this game after release, I was wondering what the state of the in-game advertising is with this announcement? Will the single-player game still be downloading from the ad content servers, or will those go away as well?
I sort of feel bad for those who purchased lifetime subscriptions, but not really.
With AT&T and Sprint, not if you configured your voicemail access to require the password even when calling from your own number. I just tested this to make sure and it just kept asking for my password when I pressed only #. IIRC you are prompted to set this option when you setup your voicemail the first time after your account is activated.

This is how I've always configured it even when I was on Sprint - I did not want people checking my voicemail if I ever lost my phone.
You mean your voicemail will let you in because that's what you told it to do? SHOCKING.
Why is it everything the Japanese have been bringing up lately (see giant squid article) dies during or shortly after capture? That and their continued whaling for "scientific research".
You don't provide enough information about the kind of loans you have taken out. Do you really need to have "thousands in the bank" to live? Perhaps you could try to reduce your cost of living instead.
The biggest issue in my mind is that by taking out loans, you now owe interest. Depending on what kind of loans they are, the interest rates, and the repayment schedules, this may not be the best thing to do. In the long term, unless you're able to achieve a higher rate of return on any investment you find, you'll be losing money.
If you financial situation is stable, and you have some sort of fallback plan (i.e. family), or you can look forward to finding a good job when you graduate, the best thing to do may be to just pay off those loans right now.
I may be talking out of my ass here, but don't bird wings do the same thing when their feathers ruffle as air passes over them? Wouldn't this ruffling be the same as the vibration described in the article?
This would be an excellent idea, but who's going to receive, process, and store all of that data? Not to mention try to extract the meaningful bits out of it?

I guess this means Sprint, who has been pushing Android phones very aggressively for the past 3 years, is left out in the cold too?
At least for the tablet device, there's been talk of video-out support when docked to its inductive charging station.

Have you actually tried to enable outbound filtering on a home PC? It's terrible.

Would you be willing to share the process you used to do that?

As far as I can tell, Japanese women between the ages of 14 and 32 all look the same age.
Can someone more legally/politically savvy than myself explain why we need laws/bills passed to prevent the breaking of existing laws/bills?

Didn't you know that 0.90% is the same as 90%?
Real estate is not the best investment vehicle right now, in most of the USA.
