  1. Re:Really? on FCC Will Tackle Cell Phone 'Bill Shock' · · Score: 1

    I was a default entry in my address book from Day 1 with my phone.

    I know for a fact Verizon, as soon as you log in on their website, that is the first thing you see. A nice green bar if you are under, yellow if you are close, red if you are over, they also provide a link to upgrade your account if you think you need too. Very easy to use. Also, if you are on Verizon dial #MIN and you will get a nice text (free of charge) that lists all your usage. I can't speak for other carriers.

    I guess that could be considered a little flamish, but that wasn't my intention. I was just making the point that people can't be bothered to keep up with their usage, but they can be bothered to complain enough to get the FCC to investigate.

    So are people becoming so lazy that they can't be bothered to check their used minutes, so they need the government to make sure they aren't surprised?

    please ignore my parent post. It seems that GP is correct

    according to here the ISO 8859-1 standard calls for that specific character to be rendered.

    Why don't modern browsers render this character?

  8. Re:FTFS on Apple vs. Google TVs · · Score: 3, Informative

    for the 360, I've found that PS3Media Server is better than TVersity. At least with PS3MS I can choose to use subtitles and alternate languages in MKVs.

  9. Re:Waste of R&D dollars, if you ask me on The Inside Story of Microsoft's 'Project Natal' · · Score: 1

    Aren't there still pretty hefty tax cuts for R&D?

  10. Question on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    the ultimate question I have, is will Verizon make you use V-cast apps? Will they force you to use Bing? Will they even allow you to use the App Store?

  11. I've found on Most Readers Don't Like Customized News · · Score: 1

    I've found the "Recommended Items" tab in Google Reader to be spot on 97% of the time. It takes time for it to get smart, but any system does.

  12. Really on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If this comes to pass, then corporations will soon have more rights than people do. I'd expect to see a whole lot of real estate transactions in Delaware, and a lot more corporations being set up as people incorporate themselves to enjoy everything the government has been doing for corporations lately.

  13. Re:why? on Giving the Blind Better Web Access · · Score: 1

    Do they make bluetooth receivers small enough to fit on a couple of pin heads? Most hearing aids are extremely small, and I don't think there is a lot of room to go adding things and not have the costs skyrocket.

    I agree, there should be some way to use existing technology.

    If the apps are as broken as people have said, then 24 hours should be more than enough time to see that they are broken.

  16. Re:Do they? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    actually. Translation: did they give any useful information to determine what makes up that 70% of American pirates and if they ever do buy.

  17. Re:Kids these days? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 2, Informative

    So not all apps fall under the 24hr return policy the Android Market has?

  18. Re:Kids these days? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    Thank you for the information on the Verizon Android Market. I was thinking of getting an Android phone from them, thinking it would be like the store they have now. You buy the app, get charged on your bill.

    If more carriers moved to that, I think the piracy numbers might go down.

    all things equal, ease of use wins.

  19. Re:Do they? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    Also, did they break it down by carrier, or if they where all phones?

  20. Do they? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do they mention the price of the app, what the app did, where they phones in the US with US numbers, where they foreign phones in the US, did they see how long the users leaved the app installed after they pirated, did any of the pirates later purchase the app, how long they did the study, or anything else that might actually be useful information?

    would be really interesting to have the playbook output the presentation and the BlackBerry itself be the remote.

    I wonder if these things will replace the iPad at meetings and such. It seems like a good idea, but having to tether could be a pain.

    unforutinetly the wealthy are the ones lining Congress' pockets, so of course Congress is going to do what they want. As bad as it sounds, they don't much care about unemployment because the unemployed don't contribute to their lifestyles.
