... I now tracked down what this reader thing is. It's awesome. Great feature THAT I CHOOSE TO CLICK ON TO USE.

Honestly, how is this a major complaint by people? Am I a fan-boy for liking this?

Gads, Slashdot used to be interesting and informative. The editors need a vacation to relax. In fact, take an iPad and read a good book!

Just checked wife's data usage since she uses her phone constantly. She used 145MBs last month which was the highest since she's had the phone. So, we're going to save $15 a month and not subsidizing the high data users. Also, I'm going to get a phone as I can now tether. I think a lot of people are getting mad before exploring this.

BTW. Older plans are grandfathered in and according to AT&T are not going to be dropped even when you upgrade to a new phone.

Ok, just read its $25 for 2GB a month and additional 1 GB for $10 a month. So, it will probably hit the high end user quite a bit but doesn't seem too unreasonable.

If you are going to use over 2GB a month, then you probably aren't going to be a good customer for them. What the heck are you doing that requires that? So, please go someplace else. :/

The lack of this phone on other networks really is a bad thing as the data plans are synonymous with the phone itself. I am curious what they are going to do for those over 2GB as there should be something for them!?!

So, they are producing two new dataplans that are cheaper then the current that they say cover 98% of their use base. To me, I think this means I'm going to at least save $5 a month here. Also, tethering is FINALLY announced! I'm excited with this news! I would like unlimited tethering but I work with technology and realize not all things are feasible as continued unlimited plans, especially with tethering, would destroy an already slammed network.

Slashdot seems to be missing reality here and the compromise that AT&T is making with their network. Ok, hit me with all your complaints about how evil something or other is.

Right, so because of Trent Reznor, Apple implemented a last minute major feature... overnight. Ease up.

No, they never made mention of bomb or explosion, unless you mean the inevitable explosion during a crash. They only talked about a crash.

What an outstanding game! Wow. Memories. Fallout based on Wasteland my b*tt. I have so many fond memories of Proton Axes and things exploding like blood sausages... though I've never seen an explosive sausage I imagine it is quite grievous to behold.

Get some sleep. It'll be alright... :)

So, they should wait for someone else to block the path and be the "good guys". Look, hate the game, not the player. :)

Apple is playing offense with this patent and they have to because, as near everyone can agree, the patents being awarded for the computer industry are inane these days.
