Tapes are cheaper and more reliable. A single 800GB tape costs us $25 and when it's full we put it in storage for several years. Hard Drives are prone to failure, costs more and take up more space.

Like soo many great new inovative technologies that could change the world for the better, it will never see the light of day!

I wishi to Boldly go where no man has gone before! Is that reason enough?

People there will still use that land for farming regardless of the radiation. Expect a bunch of mutant babies from Japan.

If Honeycomb was not designed for Phones then I doubt anyone would use it on a phone. Had Google released the source for Honeycomb it would have been used on many low end tablets. My guess is Google only wanted honeycomb on a few tablets they knew they could get revenue from.

If there is no alternative then their isn't much you can do, but if DSL is available in your area I would make the switch!

Anyone using ComCast for their ISP, look for an alternative because it's guaranteed they throttle your bandwidth! Send them a message and maybe they will stop this Internet Control!

These new innovative technologies never hit the Market for consumers. I've been reading Slashdot for years and I can't remember how many new technologies were invented to better our lives, I have yet to see any of them.

BB users have been accustomed to clunky slow phones with limited features. I remember speaking with a prior BB user who told me how they loved their phone, but after showing them my Android phone and all it could do; they weren't too enthused about their BB afterwards. Eventually they ditched their BB phone for an iPhone and wished they had done so much sooner.

So how is waiting 2-3 weeks going to fix things? People are flocking away from WebOS because of it's lack of support, and with Android for Touchpads just around the corner, I feel HP's decision will be too late! They need to decide now, or the user base will decide it for them!

Now ISP's can regulate how much bandwidth you're allowed based on what your streaming or downloading. Want to watch netflix in your livingroom - no problem, want to also watch it in the bedroom at the same time - I don't think so. Comcast has already regulated their Internet, who want's these companies to dictate how we use the Internet. I'm not fond of the Government but at least I know how they will regulate it.
