Comment Re:Typical Blackberry user (Score 1) 163

What did you find deficient about it? What did you want it to do that it couldn't do?

You must not get a lot of emails. What's the point of email on a mobile device if I have to re-sort through my emails when I get to my desk? I don't want to have to keep track of who i've replied to and what messages I've already read and deleted. After IMAP, I really can't go back to POP. It's just a freaking mess really.... Our company uses gmail, and the IMAP implementation with the iPhone mail client has been pretty flawless (users don't even need IT to set this up...). Now the IMAP behavior with the Apple Mail OS X client...that's a different story....

Useful, but I wonder if drivers have the option of opting out of being tracked. GM should offer an opt-out, but also offer an incentive for drivers to opt-in. That way, you raise awareness and transparency to what they are doing plus most people would probably opt-in for a reasonable incentive (like first scheduled maintenance is free or something like that...)

Submission + - Lulzsec Ties FBI Detroit Phones (twitter.com)

ctrimm writes: "At approximately 1pm EST, Lulzsec tweeted that everyone should call their number (614LULZSEC), for a fun surprise. A couple minutes later the group reports that magnets.com customer support was going insane. After magnets.com, the group moved on to World of Warcraft customer support and then to the FBI Detroit office. They are currently taking requests of who to "Phone DDoS" next."
