AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough 533
An anonymous reader writes AT&T and Verizon have asked the FCC not to change the definition of broadband from 4Mbps to 10Mbps, contending that "10Mbps service exceeds what many Americans need today to enable basic, high-quality transmissions." From the article: "Individual cable companies did not submit comments to the FCC, but their representative, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), agrees with AT&T and Verizon. 'The Commission should not change the baseline broadband speed threshold from 4Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream because a 4/1 Mbps connection is still sufficient to perform the primary functions identified in section 706 [of the Telecommunications Act]—high-quality voice, video, and data,' the NCTA wrote."

That is nonsense. The US government provided arms to the Iraqi government. The Iraqi government lost control over them due to the attacks that they weren't able to stand up to. They probably would have made it if the US still have a meaningful presence there. The US left Iraq in no small part due to the stupid claims detached from reality that the US was there for the oil when it is European and Chinese companies getting the oil contracts.
It's Europe that is hurting for oil, not the US.

But it is much smaller than the iPads screens.
It is less than 1/9 the size of the 10" of an iPad.
Also can I expect the resolution to suck too?
Why cares? Why is this slashvertisment posted on
It may not be much smaller than an old iPod Touch and maybe it doesn't have worse resolution either who knows but so what? It's still poor and shitty. Small, low-res and no e-ink.

Do one really have to do more than possibly pick Intel NIC over Killer NIC and RealTek over Creative for sound?
The Killer NIC may work. I don't think either work with OS X and there the Gigabyte boards are supposed to be easier to work with.

Except in my case there wasn't room for the lens (which I would need) so it's more the situation that it wasn't considered now but could be once my natural lens is worse than the manufactured one would be.
Then again maybe it's not LASIK at all any longer then.
