I have an LTE iPad but I am seriously considering getting a Nexus 7 as a supplementary device. I had a Nook Color with CM7 for a while and yes, it was small enough to actually fit in most of my pockets. I love my iPad, but I kind of miss that form factor.
maybe that used to be the case, I don't know. but it's not true in my experience. I got my wife a used iPhone 4 and put a goPhone sim in it. I added the $100 refill which should hopefully last her for the full year if she doesn't use it too much. it works fine with just voice and texting. she only uses the smartphone features on wifi. she also uses the gps to keep track of her running distances.
Prepaid is definitely the way to go. I got my wife a used iPhone 4 and put a gophone sim in it. I added $100 to her phone, and assuming she doesn't go overboard on minutes, the minutes will lst a whole year before they expire. I still hang on to my used droid 2 and put it on page plus for $12 a month, 250 voice 250 texts. I also have an lte iPad and that is on Verizon's $30 a month tablet plan. So I still get mobile data and only pay about half of what I was before I sold my galaxy nexus. The savings essentially pay for the entire cost of my iPad.
Wow, talk about wild eyed assertions. Accusing Wikileaks of being a front for "something else" with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. Sounds to me like you just don't like what they do, so you will say any damn ridiculous thing you can to try and discredit them.
It will be interesting to see if that actually happens. Is there anything in the bill to actively discourage ER visits? I wouldn't be surprised if we see an increase in doctor visits and ER use remaining the same or even going up too. Someone will have to see all these extra people. if the doctors are too busy seeing new patients, and you can't get an appointment for a couple weeks, where you go?
Exactly my thoughts. Presumably there are tons of people who are not going to doctors because they don't have insurance. If, say, 30% more people suddenly have health insurance, there could conceivably be 25% more people seeing doctors. The number of doctors has not gone up. What is the result when this happens? you will see doctors charging more for the same service. which means that insurance companies will have to pay more for every visit. which will translate back into higher premiums. there is nowhere to go here but up.
That's one of the reasons I got an iPad. I wanted to use things like fl studio. The other reason is I read a lot and the display really is a step above.
That is exactly what I have done. I have a droid 2 which I flashed onto a pre-pay service with a regional verizon reseller. I pay $12 a month for all the voice minutes I will ever need and 10mb of data. I mostly just keep 3g disabled and use the smartphone features when I am near wifi.
My wife does have an ATT iPhone which I activated on a gophone sim. so that is also an option.
I have to agree. A song is not someone's property, and no amount of wishful thinking or even congressional lawmaking can magically make it so. The same argument holds for intellectual property in all its forms. Granting a monopoly to individuals for their ideas is bad for society and leads to less innovation and creativity. A good book about this for those who are inclined to explore this idea further:
the music being produced today, just isn't worth keeping
I don't understand this. You have an incredibly narrow taste in music. Not that there's anything wrong with that. For me, there is TONS of music being produced today that is worth listening to. My problem is that there's too much out there and I'll never get around to even half of it. That is why I use a streaming service. I try to listen to at least 2 or 3 new albums a month. My horizon is always expanding in every genre. I gravitate towards Jazz and Classical, but there is tons of other stuff as well, from pop to blues to electronic, etc. I use Amazon.com to keep track of the top new releases in every genre each week. I pick a few that might seem interesting and see if they are on my streaming service. There is always something to keep me busy.
You should remind yourself that those people come home, drink milk and eat vegetables too.
They kill innocent foreigners for a living. As far as I know, most religions/ethical systems frown on that sort of thing.
Whether you fully agree with the military's current actions or not, you benefit from the military. Odds are excellent that you are undereducated as to how you benefit, and thus are acting from a point of limited visibility.
Odds are unclear that any technological benefits we may or may not receive from the military (death) industry wouldn't be put to better use in civilized society.
This is the reason I don't use my credit union as my primary account. As much as I like supporting the smaller local financiers, their web interface is not up to snuff. And I cannot add them to Mint because they use a two-tier authentication system where you have to type an additional password displayed on the screen (not even a captcha, just a number displayed as text). It is important to me to have the ability of keeping track of my finances via Mint.com. I put everything on my debit card so I can track my spending and see where it all goes.
I am a senior developer at a large publicly traded company. We have some pretty high volume systems, and I have yet to really use any other patterns besides MVC in my daily activities. I have also worked at several smaller consultant firms and never used them much before my current place. Maybe it's just because the type of problems I have been working on aren't complicated enough?
Just because you pass a constitutional amendment for something doesn't make it right. They passed a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, and look where that got us. The constitution isn't the be all and end all of libertarianism. In fact, adopting the constitution is the very thing that started us on the long, hard road away from small government.
It should definitely be abolished. Any benefit they might provide to society (certainly debatable) is far outweighed by the cost and invasion of our civil liberties.
For one, as both Mother Jones’ Mark Follman and my former Salon colleague Justin Elliott have extensively documented, there are — due to multiple conflicting White House claims — numerous unanswered questions about what really happened on the raid.
There’s also the question of why Obama aides like John Brennan spouted outright falsehoods to the world on key questions (such as whether bin Laden was armed or used his wife as a “human shield” and whether there was a “shootout” in the house). There are conflicting claims about whether a full video recording of the raid exists. There’s the contradictory administration behavior of resisting lawsuits seeking any disclosure about the raid on secrecy grounds while simultaneously boasting publicly about the details of the raid for political gain. And there’s the question of whether previous American statements — and the principles of Nuremberg — would have made it better (or even legally necessary) to apprehend bin Laden for trial; whether doing so was reasonably possible; and whether that was permitted by the mission plan.

What makes you think that state or local governments are any better than the Feds at managing public education?

It seems like increasing the demand for health insurance will make the price of go up. Could someone please explain why that is wrong?

I wonder if they will finally address Android's audio latency problem this year, so developers can get us some better music production apps.

unfortunately they block youtube at work. so I will have to be content with the live blog updates.
Acer just came out with a 13 inch tablet. Might want to check them out.
How are you so sure we wouldn't have ended up with better technology than we have today without patents?
Your post is just another variation of Bastiat's "seen and unseen."
Hogwash. Destroying them would not do incalculable harm to many industries. Patent defenders such as yourself are the ones harming innovation.

Physical property ownership makes sense for society to enforce. Intellectual property does not. The ramifications are totally different.

What's to stop people from selling their phone, reporting it stolen, then getting it back? I guess you will have to ask for a signed receipt?
