  13. Re:Early Cancellation on Sprint Customers Face 5GB Hotspot Data Cap, As of Oct. 2 · · Score: 1

    the problem for this is they aren't forced to buy back the phone you purchased from them as the radio frequency wont work on other carriers. i think carriers should be forced to buy out your hardware when they change the rules mid contract.

  16. Would you trust TimeWarner to manage your home sec on The Dying DVR Box and Woz Wisdom · · Score: 1

    http://blog.collins.net.pr/2011/04/would-you-trust-timewarner-to-manage.html Your cable provider maintains a data connection into your home, even if you dont use them for internet and use wimax/cell hotspot/steal the neighbours wifi instead to provide your home internet connection there is still a cable box sitting in most living rooms and most of the time it's doing very little. You can see with the recent timewarner/comcast/verizon value add functionality such as whole house dvr, ipad remote view, comcast remote dvr storage that they are all looking to develop additional functionality (and billing). So i guess my question is this, if your dvr is sitting there doing very little would you trust your cable company to put in wireless infra-red and motion detectors into your house and then use the dvr as a base monitoring system or do you have so little faith in the "cable company" for things to work properly that there is no way in hell you would trust them to monitor your home security....? What do you think?

  17. their turf their rules on Amazon Stymies Lendle E-book Lending Service · · Score: 1

    When we were building out our 14 live chat sites eg - http://www.livef1chat.com/ - http://www.livebasketballchat.com/ - http://www.livehockeychat.com/ etc etc All of the developers were saying no need to build databases, just use Facebook login to provide access and control. Not a chance. Users can “link” their account to their facebook (you can post in real time to your facebook wall and your twitter stream from within out live chat apps) but there is no way to use our platform without registering for it first and that’s the way its going to be – some people see this as a stumbling block, i see it as good business sense.

  18. ip rights on Turkey Bans Google's Blogger Over Soccer Piracy · · Score: 1

    because i'm the founder of www.LiveChatConcepts.com which features 14 websites around live sporting events such as http://www.livebaseballchat.com/ http://www.livefootballchat.com/ http://www.livehockeychat.com/ http://www.livebasketballchat.com/ etc etc - i see a lot of these sites streaming media (we dont stream any media, just provide chats that start and close with each event) I can understand why IP owners are trying to get them shut down as they pay a lot for the rights to stream football/basketball/soccer etc. When people use blogger/justin.tv etc as a tool to bypass these PPV's you have to understand that is moeny being taken out of their pocket. You might say well the NFL makes 9b a year thats plenty, maybe but my neighbour works for a stadium and if you dont pay...he doesnt get paid if you know what i mean. So whilst it's easy to poke fun of the courts going after blogger (though not sure why they didnt go after justin.tv etc is beyond me) the point is what should they be doing to recoup their money? Any Thoughts?
