Yes, but T-Mobile still had to build the system that finds your phone at $RANDOM_AP when someone dials your normal number and when you wander out of range of the AP. Also, their network is still in use, though their towers may not necessarily.
TFA actually addresses these issues. Wherever you start your call is how it's billed. Who knows if it'll stay that way, but that's how it's starting anyway according to the article.
Also according to the article, it does indeed route from hotspot to tower without dropping the call, though going from traditional to hotspot configuration takes longer than the other way around.
Probably the fact that T-Mobile announced this in the midst of the iPhone buzz -- so no one really noticed til now. I saw an ad on TV that really piqued my interest; I actually jumped up and said 'Wow!'. Then I left for vacation and forgot all about it.
The connection is that the iPhone drowned it out to begin with.
Yeah, the tech sounds similar on the surface -- and you can already buy phones to do this sort of thing to link to your Skype account. But the T-Mobile take on this has a huge advantage:
true mobile calling.
Being dependent on hotspots sucks for communication! Trust me!
Maybe I've just woken up on the wrong side of the bed?
I think that's fair to say;)
I don't see Americans crushing innovation simply because it's new and we don't use it here. Do we go and destroy the Mag-lev trains in Japan because we don't use them here, for example? You may have been referring to the patent office, and yes, that situation is bad here. But reform is (hopefully) coming on that front, and I wouldn't consider our patent problems to be an international issue.
I haven't bought a CD in months, and have instead spent time rediscovering the music I already have. It takes a lot of time to rip a large collection to a digital format, and so you tend to be a bit more invested in it.
With a large collection, it's also easy to find tracks that you haven't heard in a long time, and you're more likely to stumble upon tracks you've never heard.
We're talking about employees here, not (necessarily) citizens.
Anyway, I think gps combined with push messaging would pretty much fit the bill here, in simplistic terms. I'm not sure where the 'Presence Systems' buzzwords came from.
Pretty insightful, it's a shame I don't have mod points...Though I think the worst that can be said about the literal read types involves a clue stick, rather than knowing all there is to know.
Seems pretty clear to me:
4. USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use the software installed on the
licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system
That's from the Vista Home Basic EULA. Here.
It's a PDF, but I've linked to the Google 'View as HTML' option.
Sure, but you still get to use those 2 gallons down the road... When you change the cartridge, you're throwing out what's left in that "empty" cartridge. And at the prices they charge for ink, that liquid is worth more than a fine wine.
The point is that there is definite business motive for it -- increased browser share leads to increased mindshare, which leads to increased sales of $INSERT_PRODUCT_HERE. It's good for anything Apple wants to put out, but I think the roots stem from Firefox' popularity.
Funny, I saw this as a "Jealousy" move from the beginning. What else could be the motive? They're jealous of Firefox' exposure, especially since more folks on Mac seem to run Firefox than Safari. I wrote a quick blog post about it when the news broke.
I imagine this depends on the material the pole is made of. You could technically make a pole out of jello, though it wouldn't be very useful. (except maybe for dancers...)
Probably, this would be a function of the density and hardness of the material the pole was made of. What you are getting at is interesting though -- and is essentially the way sound moves, pushing air molecules into each other until the wave of that sound reaches you.
Search for Higgs "God Particle" Gets Interesing I don't know what God has to do with it, but what's this Interesing stuff, and where can I get it?

Yes. It's just you. ;)
What? How? The fact that they both have law suits against Intel? I don't get it.

True, but if this thing really takes off, I can see it spurring access speeds in general for the US. One can hope, anyway.

I think it'd be funnier to fill your 500MB with Windows Updates / Service Packs and Linux ISOs ;)

Just my two cents.
I guess it is all relative, isn't it? :)
Agreed. Think of it as having GWB in office, and replacing him with someone less evil...

Don't be so sure. As they say, when things change on the other side of the pond, it tends to carry over here.

Provably = adverb, and correct English.
Prove - Provable - Provably.

Sure, because security through obscurity like that always works.
Wouldn't you rather have something peer reviewed and thoroughly tested?

I think the concern is 'early' in the 'late' ... Which is it? :)
Neither :)
I just wanted it to be clear that vast areas of ice hadn't melted and disappeared, they reformed from snowfall.
