I couldn't finish watching it because of that noise. I have no idea how the video author can stand it, unless it's something his recording software put in (trialware?).

I loved them when I lived in north San Jose but they only offer up to 6Mbps where I am now so I went with AT&T's u-verse dsl-only plan at 12Mbps. If sonic.net ever rolls out their fios here I'll sign up the next day.
I guess this means Sprint, who has been pushing Android phones very aggressively for the past 3 years, is left out in the cold too?
At least for the tablet device, there's been talk of video-out support when docked to its inductive charging station.
HP's acquisition of HyperSpace Linux last year, combined with today's webOS on PC announcement, makes me suspect that they will be using it as a fast boot option on their computers similar to ASUS's Express Gate.
The Palm Pre and Pixi, when placed on the Touchstone magnetic induction charging dock, function as you described (displays time, large snooze button during alarms).
Have you actually tried to enable outbound filtering on a home PC? It's terrible.
On a slightly surprising note, I found that the 'Include me in "People Here Now" after I check in' option defaulted to disabled. At least they got 1/2 right, and to be honest, if you only friended people who were really your friends, letting them check you into places isn't such a horrible thing.

Mission managers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., had been operating the spacecraft in engineering mode since May 6. They took this action as they traced the source of the pattern shift to the flip of a single bit in the flight data system computer that packages data to transmit back to Earth.
Would you be willing to share the process you used to do that?
Looks like EA saw how successful Sony's GT-5 Prologue was and decided that this is a viable business model for eagerly anticipated AAA titles.
If the demo purchase price could be applied as a credit on the final release I would have no problem with this, but somehow I think the chances of this being the case are pretty close to 0%.
I was going to submit this but found someone else already has; currently it's languishing in the firehose. http://slashdot.org/submission/1039753/NASA-Loses-the-Lost-Moon-Tapes-After-All?art_pos=17
According to NPR's Morning Edition, NASA does not have the 'Lost Moon Tapes' containing the raw footage of Neil Armstrong's historic first steps on the Moon, after all. The article claims that the original Apollo 11 recordings were likely erased. Instead, the restoration is being done from the best of the broadcast-format video obtained from a variety of sources, not the original SST signal.
NPR's story is backed up by NASA's own press release issued today:
A team of Apollo-era engineers who helped produce the 1969 live broadcast of the moonwalk acquired the best of the broadcast-format video from a variety of sources for the restoration effort.
[...]
A three-year search for these original telemetry tapes was unsuccessful.
