Some defense contractors already offer special encrypted Blackberry phones for their employees. How is this device so different? Just a different set of proprietary encryption software?
New Jersey has 30Mb/5Mb Cable (Optimum Online) for $55/mo, and 20Mb/20Mb FIOS $65. I have Optimum Online, it also include a domain name, web space, and open port 25 & 80 options. I find it quite satisfactory.
I always find it interesting how local events, lore, and legends end up affecting future thoughts and research. I have no doubt that events like the Red Rain in Kerala lead researchers to come up with these ideas and projects.
I'm sure if I had more coffee this morning, I would list a few other examples I have come across in the past.
Yeah, I have a 43 Watt CFL FLOOD LIGHT over my driveway. It has 4 tubes, is about the size of a normal flood light bulb, and take about 30 seconds to warm up in the cold.
And I switched to the open-source MediaPortal for Windows and haven't looked back since.
Slap it on an old XP machine in a decent media center ATX case, and you have a great media pc. No hassles with linux makes, XP media center BS, or compatibility. Throw in a blowout on an Logitech media center remote package with the Setpoint Uberoptions driver to open up all the button options, and you are set. Just share all your media folders on your home network for any other media you want to show.
Google might care because they want you running those nice Android apps which interface with Google because that's how they're paying for Android development.
Which Android Apps are you talking about? The Marketplace Apps? The web browser/GMail apps? The YouTube app?
First, Google doesn't take a cut off of the Android Marketplace apps, and they are all actually free right now. Second, the only real ad revenue they are seeing is from people getting on the browser and using the google search engine (given that there is a google search widget on part of the screen, although it is easily removed).
The only real thing the G1 is doing for Google is brand awareness, getting more GMail accounts, and putting a web browser in more peoples' hands (which assumabley they will use google.com to search with and click on ads).
Again, there is no direct revenue for Google here, they are aiming for the horizon and trying to change the game with this device. It is this humble observer's opinion that they are well on their way.
T-Mobile won't have much as about the applications, I mean do these carriers police your Windows Smartphone or Blackberry to see what you have installed on it? My Motorola Q has Skype installed on it and I make long distance phone calls to Europe over the data plan!
Nothing can be bought and sold? What are you talking about? Initially they are convincing owners to "sell applications for free", but you will be able to buy and sell. Not to mention Google will take a 0% cut as opposed to Apple's 33% cut!
Yes! I talked with a Google Employee on the Android IRC Channel. You can still install applications yourself just like you do with the Android SDK Device Emulator. This is simply to prevent evil-doers from using the Marketplace as a mass-distribution network. Google still does not have an application approval system or take a cut from the developers.
These media outlets needs to stop blindly copy-and-pasting each other and learn a little bit about Android. Google could probably also get off it's ass and do a little marketing and customer awareness work.
I think this is even more interesting, albeit tragic. This is an airshow video of an early A320 test flight.
A computer glitch assumed the pilot was trying to land and wouldn't allow the plane to pull up. The dozen or so people on the plane died.
Why is everybody all about FIOS? I have Cablevision in North New Jersey and get 26MBit/4.85MBit (30/5) with Cablevision Optimum Online Boost. That also comes with free webspace, free domain, and opened port 80 and 25. Thats for about $55/month. Apparently they are testing 50mbit/50mbit as well. FIOS can't touch that without prices skyrocketing.
If you want to pay retail for the phone (~$400), which they probably won't even offer.
Apparently only current T-Mobile customers will get the $150 pre-order option (which is crazy b/c they already have their customers' money).
So you would have to sign up for a 2-year account, get it for $250 (for new customers), pay a $150 breach of contract, and then you can put it on whoever you want:P
This is all mostly speculation, but you could just wait 3-6 months and buy an Android phone from your current carrier.
Android is an OS like Microsoft Windows Mobile, only better. There will be many manufacturers, with many models, on many carriers. You just have to wait a bit longer, though I may switch to crappy T-Mobile right now if it guarantees me a first Android phone for $150:P. Not sure til I see if the HTC Dream has WiFi/GPS, etc...
I just received some samples of military grade MRAM recently. 4MB, "infinite" writes, "infinite" lifetime, -55C - 125C operating range, lower power than DRAM, and 35ns cycle times.
Well, if Google had won, they'd have to put their money where their mouth was and become a wireless carrier themselves. I seriously doubt that. They probably would have just leased/resold the space to other companies.
I actually take a teaspoon or so daily of colloidal silver whenever I have a sore throat. You can get it at about any health food store. IIRC, it takes around a cup or more a day to induce Agyria.
I know there's this concoction (that has silver)... You are thinking of Colloidal Silver. Silver is a natural antibiotic and quite a lot of it can be drank daily. A topical form, Silver Sulfadiazine, is often prescribed for severe burns.
...that if you take too much of it turns your skin blue and is irreversible. The condition of drinking way too much of this is called Argyria.

Next, he will be coming after those of us who have taken advantage of the Google Android branding rights.

They sun spots have realized we were watching them and it turns out they are shy. They are just on the other side of the sun now.
Nope, we can monitor the other side of the sun, they are not there either.
This is done with Helioseismic Holography. Though there is apparently a new method being developed.

I completely agree, have we already forgotten about tongue based soldier senses?

Let me know when MRAM gets to gigabyte sizes. With unlimited writes and running at SRAM speeds, it could be the future.

Thanks for the correction, a lot of info has been updated on that flight from the last time I checked.
Either way, big snafu.

-40C to +125C .. silly.
Correction, make that Freescale Semi, not Fairchild. Going to be a long day.
I just received some samples of military grade MRAM recently. 4MB, "infinite" writes, "infinite" lifetime, -55C - 125C operating range, lower power than DRAM, and 35ns cycle times.
Fairchild has been making MRAM for awhile now.
