Instead of dual-booting, I use a Windows virtual machine. It works fine for most specialized software. I haven't tried it with games yet, but with hardware virtualization I would think that wouldn't be a problem.

That patent (if it even existed) would have expired years ago.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob at ALS 2000 (I *still* have the tshirt from that somewhere!) I hope all goes well for you & yours from here on out!

Felt it bad here, I work in a 50-year-old building. No way this place stays intact if a sustained quake hits.

You do know that Sprint roams on the Verizon network, right? There is a limit of minutes for free roaming, but I can't recall it right now.

Land Rover is owned by an Indian company now.

You can do all of that with a locked phone, there are plenty of Android apps for Amazon, Dropbox, ssh, rdp, etc.

I read somewhere that it was actually Flavor Aid. However, that's on wikipedia so who knows.

The source has to be made available to whoever obtained/purchased the binaries from you, it can be free or you can charge for it (the source). However, you can't restrict re-distribution.

For example: I can create a GPLv2 program, sell it, and charge my customers $10 for a DVD copy of the source. My customer can then put the source on their public FTP server for anyone to download & I wouldn't be able to legally stop them.

I think the oil companies would be happy that a) they wouldn't have to deal with despots/hostile governments/pirates (of the oil tanker variety) b) spending billions of dollars drilling holes in the ground that may or may not strike oil c) the liabilities of tanker/rig spills d) the volatility of oil prices.

I don't think a lot of people are going to switch to the iPhone on Verizon, simply because I believe Verizon will charge an excessive amount for data (especially if it's LTE-capable).

What if your son (or daughter) really is named Luke?

Even with the 4G surcharge, a voice+data plan on Sprint is still cheaper than a comparable plan on Verizon or AT&T (plus, the Sprint plan is unlimited mobile-to-mobile, as well as unlimited 3G/4G data).

How much (more) are people willing to pay for data on a Verizon iPhone? None of the articles I've read even mention this.
I think Sprint is a likelier target, given that a) they already have a 4G network deployed in a lot of cities b) their customers are prepared to pay a surcharge for 4G - $10/month c) said data plan is unlimited.
