This works like a charm. I switched to Linux a few years ago and keep getting "Help me fix Win {XP|Vista|7}". I claim I forgot how to fix those computers (or where options are). :P

Actually, Twilight in Space is Stargate: Atlantis. And Todd would kick Edward's ass any day, any time.

Google's NFC thing only works on Gingerbread phones that have the NFC chip. How many of the thousands of tablets and phones announced on CES have it?

Uhm, hell no.

In Mexico, we're stuck with overpriced, capped data plans. I went a whole year using less than 100mb a month. You just need to change your habits.
Youtube? Only use it on Wifi. duh.
Downloading/Upgrading apps and music? Same.

IM and Email? Sure, use it. Using moderate browsing, email and IM, I spend about 3MB per day of 3G data. Everywhere I go, there's an Access Point I can hop into, be it Starbucks, McDonalds, the school or at work (Even piggybacking from a wired laptop using NetworkManager's network sharing thingie).

I recently switched to a 500mb plan and use ~300mb per month.

I'm an android developer, and whenever someone asks me about developing for Android devices, the first thing I tell them is that it may look like java and it might be syntax-compatible, but calling the Android Development Language 'Java' is a huge mistake that'll cost you a couple dozen hours in development time.

Would their zombie wings be able to make birds fly? I always figured zombie birds would be harmless, as they'd simply fall to the ground over their rotten flesh.

Is the term you were looking for, I think.

Crowdsourced police? Sounds similar to those "Neighbors on Watch" signs I see on the streets.

Are you using 2.x mods? Because I'm pretty sure the problem started at Eclair, not Donut.

I beg to differ. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1385

CyanogenMod is based on Android's source code. If it's fixed on the "official" HTC/Google Roms, I don't know. But this has happened to me, on CyanogenMod 5.0.8, on the G1. A reboot fixed it.

Oh that's just mean :-(

Sorry. This was my first story submission. I'll keep this in mind, as well as other feedback I've gotten from other /.'rs. Thanks!

Yes, I am. As a non-native english writer, who has difficulties dealing with grammar nazism, I find commas useful to explain stuff. =P

Emailed him as you suggested. If Tim updates the story, great. Otherwise, I tried :-)

His implementation was different than their's, and if that's the case, they've got bigger issues, as one of their developers wrote a PDF on how Shazam Works..

And this guy certainly wasn't the first to write an article about How Shazam Works either.

They're afraid of the code.

And there's a Windows Mobile, Nokia / Symbian, Blackberry app too. It's my fault for not Googling them up before hand..
