My main issue with cell phones is having a cap on minutes. And don't dare go over otherwise it'll cost you dearly. I'll be more impressed with cell phones when it's just a constant monthly fee for unlimited usage. All this nights and weekend crap is a scam. Imagine if your internet usage was charged this way... you couldn't afford to read all the "valuable" comments in Slashdot;)
I don't think a Binary Driver layer should be introduced. Hardware manufacturers lose interest in products as soon as they're released. So to have the specs open and allow the community to maintain the driver as long as there's a community for it simply makes sense. It's in the consumers' best interest.
So I have to pay for cable and/or satellite, then I have to pay more for a show that just aired?!?! Plus I don't get a copy of it?!?! I'm sticking with my SageTV PVR and a 250GB drive. I can record any show I want and keep it forever at no additional cost! I hope this fails miserably.
I believe Google's ability to advertise inconspicuously will dominate the marketplace in the years to come. The days of annoying commercials for minutes at a time are numbered. People won't stand for them as is evident by the popularity of DVRs. I started using a homemade one 3 years ago and haven't looked back. People would say something about a commercial they saw and I honestly can say I haven't seen one in a loooooong time:)
What Google will hopefully bring to the television is what they brough to the web... text ads or something else unobtrusive they people don't mind seeing. They could even be shown during a show in the lower right corner like most stations display their stupid logo.
Obviously, I'm no Einstein otherwise I would be working for Google, but there has to be a successor to the half-century old commercial. It's annoying, expensive, and going the way of the dinosaur.
Your honor, you can clearly see that it was my 2 year old using eMule and me. Thus I must be innocent.
This is just awesome, all you have to do now is blame it on your son, daughter, hell even your dog!!!
Unfortunately, the public will buy these because they won't even know it exists until its too late. You're not going to see CNN carry this story....so only nerds like us will see it coming:(
Where else can you get tips on great new products like penis enlargers, hair loss solutions, and debt consolidation!! And lets not even forget about the free porn pictures!!! And people see spam as a problem....I think not. God bless you spam!! Thanks for everything you have shown me!

"It's the art of fighting without fighting." Now thats deep.
The reason ATI has the majority of the market share is because they provide OEMS with a cheap onboard video solution like the mobile 9x00 series. When it comes to highend...ATI and Nvidia are head-to-head. Competition is good and lets hope it continues.

gasmonso http://religiousfreaks.com/Thus far, the US has actually done a great job. There is no need to change things around unless a solid case can be made.

That's about how exciting this post is. What a dull day for news.

You better avoid Taco Bell until this situation is cleaned up.
Paris should get 11 years for her acting ability and general ability to annoy people.

Good to see that in 70 years we have robots now that can do almost anything now......oh wait a sec Terminator was a movie.
