When I signed up for the site wouldn't I have to consent to a background check, which would give me a good clue as to whether there is a background check or not, right?
This is not a good idea at best and more than likely a horrible idea. The standard I'm trying to call 911 in secret criticism works here.
I can't watch the video in the article (youtube video anyone?) but I would imagine if I dialed 911 and heard some crazy alarm coming out of my phone I would hang my phone up and try again. I'm not sure what the alarm sounds like but if it's just some siren I would give up after a few tries thinking 911 was broken.
Do we have a way to test this? I can't add or change emergency numbers in my phone and don't really want to call 911 to test my phone out.
They will... eventually. Right now cellular is just to expensive for data transfer or serious voice. When the cellular fee structures change Nintendo will be able to slide into the market. Remember when AOL, Prodigy, Compuserve, Netscape, changed their billing, for a wile it was 25 hours a month for $20 dollars then it become unlimited for $35. Eventually cellular will move to this type of billing then Nintendo can step in but right now, Google, Nintendo, and other cool companies who need a different cellular fee structure can only attempt to change the fee structure from the outside. Once the structure changes the whole market will explode.
I'm not sure this is about being two houses down the road, (yet, and we will get back to that) but it's about being in the right spot. My sisters house was always marked in the middle of the block, not in the road but somewhere in here neighbors backyard, which meant that Gmaps would mark her house on the wrong street. Yahoo didn't do this. So I think more than fixing how far down the street you go this is going to help assure the markers are on the right street.
My hope is say Sony and Lexmark share a skyscraper in New York and I want to visit and they have two different entrances to the same building then I would be sent to the correct entrance.
Back to the yet, I'm hoping / guessing this is step one. I would like to see step two be, add a near buy parking marker so when I go to visit Chicago Sears tower I can know where people park. I'm also going to assume this has something to do with the Gphone because GPS likes to bring you to the right spot or it just makes there data more accurate than other data so they can sell it.
I'm not sure I would object to ads on the device if it cut my costs. Most books come with ads, if I go to Borders books, they put ads in my bag, if I buy from Amazon they put ads in the box. Some publishers even put ads in the back of the books in the form of plugs for other books. Old books came with coupons, why not put a few ads in my ebook?
I think some folks are in for a surprise when their documents save to Google and they can't find them through my documents. That is unless there is an Open Office icon on the desktop.
I think we are on the border of a time when any OS can be a success given a few things:
1) It has a word process that opens Word documents and the icon is on the desktop.
2) It has a web browser with an icon on the desktop.
3) It saves documents locally and on the web with one click.
4) It plays DVD, flash, mp3s.
5) It lets folks use their ipods.
That being said I haven't actually used one of these but it looks like they may fit the bill of what my average friend and co-worker needs. I'm not sure about Ipods and saving documents locally and on the web but give it a few months and I hope it will.
Let me get this straight...
Public university means my tax dollars go to pay the guy who got this patent which means I should get money when he wins. Sue on. I kid but seriously you know it's a problem when a university is getting into the trolling game whatever happened to for the public good.
I thought Google wanted to free my phone as in cost. It seems to serve them better if I can get on the net more, so I'll be interested to see how the price models vary for phones under the (G)OP Coalition vary verse a standard closed phone. If I can afford to use cellular internet, texting, email, etc. Then I would spend more time around Google products and ads making them money. So is Google dropping money to have Android places and if they are will I see some savings?
I want one.... I want to see if it is actually usable. Does my thumb drive work, my printer, my camera, my mouse and keyboard. Or do I have to drop another couple hundred dollars buying all new components. If everything I own works and the software is good, I don't mind Google docs and use it more than Word. I would guess the big hurdle is the Ipod. My folks would be fine with this PC but the Ipod obstacle stands in the way. I think it's a good idea I may consider but it may be in front of it's time. If the Gos is available for download I may just try that instead.
For this to work Google and the carrier need to make money. The carrier currently charges based on my transfer amounts and I'm unlikely to want to pay so I can allow Google to show me ads or prefetch my gmail. Which means Google will have to reduce my payment. I know they have turned pay software free before but I'm not sure they can cut my cellphone bill enough to make me get wireless internet. I'm not going to pay for such a service but if it is free I would but that means Google will need to make enough to pay the carrier and themselves, and at $40 a person that's a lot to make from ads.
Q: If it is similar to the Great Firewall of China did we ever think the users were in China?
A: No!
Q: Why not?
A: They aren't in China.
Q: That's not a good reason.
A: Could you phrase that in the form of a question?
Q: Sure thing, Alex Trebek, can you give me a good reason?
A: If they were in China they couldn't post to the board to tell us about their problems.
Q: Could ComCast be in China?
A: I guess that would make the Com stand for Communist and the Cast stand for Cast System.
This is newsworthy because it seems that Google is less popular in areas with more high-tech wireless devices. Maybe I'm stereotyping tech cultures but Google (or no American company) has a great wireless presensce like many Asian and European companies do. Google is late to the game as far as wireless aps go so they need to convince users to move from what has been working well on the cellphone to Google. Might this be part of the Gphone (rumor) strategy to capture wireless user markets around the globe. If Google can put together a remarkable wireless suite then folks will switch or folks won't leave Google when competing software is created.
I started using WebRunner a few weeks ago and like it. I can just leave it to run minimized and not accidentally close it when I close FireFox or accidentally surf off the tab. This seems practical in several situations, set it up to wait online for World Series tickets, keep a calendar open. Most practical would be for use as a corporate tool, I could run my corporate web based software.
Since most of the uses involve typing I miss automatic spell check from FF.
I looked into buying this plan or ATT but read that part and said NO!
I was going to sign up for it and use the Gizmo Project and Grand Central to make unlimited free cellphone calls?
This made me realize that VZW just couldn't handle what they sold and the saw VOIP as a predator to their precious money making scheme, if I get unlimited bandwidth that is a decent quality I can exploit have unlimited calling for $40 a month which compared to $60 for my cell plan $25 for my land line is a good deal.
I'm not an expert, I'm just an experienced windows user. When I switched to XP I couldn't stand the new control panel, I switched over to classic. I'm young and capable of change but I don't want it or need it.
Linux seems to be at the point where they have a stable system and are realizing that people want stable and familiar interaction with the computer. They are crying out for something that doesn't change every week or when it changes there is a well tested well reasoned explanation for the change not "because it's pretty".
I've played around with Ubuntu a lately on my laptop, When my wife sat down I had FF open so she didn't know anything had changed (she thought I had changed the skin) and had 100% the same experience. Which is the experience she needs to have, she can't bother to learn the new look of IE7 much less office 2007. I don't want to learn either I want the same old experience where I can type a short document and write an email.
Linux is unwittingly gearing itself towards my wife and I since I am assured my experience won't change for the sake of change and things will work well. It needs to start working out of the box.
I'm sure like all tickets this come with strings attached. But this issue is about two questions, can the Patriots force a company to turn over lists of sellers, what privacy issue does this have, what is included in the list, do they know how much I sold my ticket for?
Is this concept of restrictions on sales fair? Can I buy a ticket and be told what to do with it (can MSFT sell me an XBox then prevent me from modding it?) In Ohio folks sell pencils with free tickets to the Michigan Ohio State game. Since your not selling the tickets this is legal. What if StubHub allowed a purchase and processing fee set by the seller I could sell the ticket at face value then pump up the purchase and processing fees I will charge to get you the ticket (like shipping on ebay)?
In a broad sense issue has implications elsewhere, at what point do I own the item and have the freedom of control over it? When is it truly my XBox and when is it enough my house that the HOA can't tell me what to do?
p.s. Combine this with a video tape scandal and it seems like the Patriots are trying to loose fans.
I make my living selling my time clicking on eBay ads. These ads keep moving people off my auction page. How am I supposed to do nothing for a living now.
In other news these folks just want a cut of the eBay action.
p.s. If your livelihood is resting on a single of which you aren't an employee not changing their business model you need a new business model.
Maybe I'm slow or missing something BUT... If I get the GOSsiP (Google Operating System Phone) on the ATT network I'm not sure how this will save me money. Is Google going to mail me a check each month for the ads I see? Are the negotiating a lower price for my monthly service with ATT? Or are they going to greatly subsidize the cost of my phone (pay the maker to carry their software, like companies do with pc makers).
If this is an OS on a phone I'm just not seeing how this is going to save me money. Google needs people to get on the mobile web but the cost is killing the us market. If Google can get me on the Mobil web without raising my monthly cellphone bill then I would surf a whole lot more, especially if I had a nice phone to do it on. I would check my Gmail more, I would be using gmaps more, I would be doing a whole lot more surfing through this set up but cost is the key. I'm not paying $30 to surf at home and $30 more to surf on the cell but I would surf on my cell if it was free. I just don't see how this will work.

My E-reader sold out in only 5 minutes. Take that Amazon.

It's worth about 5% of my salary or the amount which democrats would raise taxes. *I made 5% up but it's still funny
