"we won't link to it."
I know you are making a joke, but we shouldn't participate in this bullshit by limiting what we publish.

People who don't live in sunny California who have to wear gloves for part of the year. It's actually been the deciding factor around our Toronto office when coworkers have been picking their new smart phone. Most have been opting for non-touch screen phones, or the Blackberry Storm. The inability to use the iPhone without hassle while you're on the go has ruined its chances of entering the business market.
I live in a cold weather area and I have never owned a cellphone that I could use properly with gloves on.

I have a G1 and an iPod touch. If I am somewhere with wifi I find myself using the iPod to surf the net or check email. I thought I would prefer the G1 for the keyboard, but I don't think it's interface is that great, the apps I get are either buggy, not very useful or not very well done and it seems to hang a lot.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... I am on a college campus, so "ESPN360.com is also available to fans that access the internet from U.S. college campuses and U.S. military bases." is not factual.

Jesus, it is a two way street. Canadian customs has searched my car probably 15 times. I still go to Canada.
Granted I was 19-20 at the time and went to Canada a lot more with my friends, but this was years ago - before the 'heightened security." (Good rule of thumb - avoid the bilingual lane, they seem to be bigger pricks).

Submission + - SCO to fight on?
lunartik writes: Forbes declares SCO DOA, but from the article:
Novell isn't scared:SCO said it was "obviously disappointed with the ruling," but also indicated it intends to carry on with its lawsuit against Novell. "Although the district judge ruled in Novell's favor on important issues, the case has not yet been fully vetted by the legal system and we will continue to explore our options with respect to how we move forward from here."
Novell, in a statement, said: "The court's ruling has cut out the core of SCO's case and, as a result, eliminates SCO's threat to the Linux community based upon allegations of copyright infringement of UNIX. We are extremely pleased with the outcome."
