Wonder how well the iPad 3G will do in NYC when released.

Why would you think that? How is a phone worthless on another network? Do you even understand what unlocking is?

Here in the UK, lots of little shops offer to unlock your phone. And people pay for it, because its worth moneys to have an unlocked phone.

Can it be used with netbooks with cellular wireless technology like Gobi? That would rock.

When we can get VOIP over 3G on an open smartphone, current providers that milk their customers dry are going to shrivel like the wicked witch of the West in a torrential downpour. I'm not surprised they were upset that Google gamed the spectrum auction.

I would rather have Google for my phone company, but if they can get me what I want without spending money, more power to them. What I want is progress.

It's an 'idle' thread. How is ANYTHING off topic?

And you should also read the book US vs MS - the rules are literally different for a monopoly leveraging its position to gain market share - eg, an OS monopoly being used to gain and maintain a browser monopoly.

The statement is not at all false, let alone "totally".

oh wow. Yeah, there was. And it had to do with this new computer. And I failed. Epic. Brain. Fart.

What I was trying to ask was a bit of a wandering thought, so I don't even know if it needs to be repeated. But I am always up for answering questions I know the answer to, so here goes... I wanted to say... Why dos this piece of tech-hardware remind me of the computer/monitor setup in that cheesy (though who doesn't love cheese cept those that are lactose intolerant, and maybe a few anti-cheeseheads... [Though I doubt they exsist])yet fun/silly holowood flick Swordfish. (What with it's multi-GPU's, I am assuming (another good way to make an arse out myself, woot) it can run that many screens, and pump-crunch through the needs of the program in record time.

Also just was a bit in awe of the tech-specs I saw, and was drooling, so I had to let it out, somewhere.
Wow that was a rambling... *crawls back under his warm lizard-style hovel, and hides*

Why does the computer from Swordfish?

    Everything's an engineering challenge, it all depends on how you look at it. :)

    Sometimes that's half the fun.

    The other half is enjoying the result.

    Come on, let your mind sink to the gutter. It's more fun here. :)

Well, there is also the need for light in some places hungering for the lumen of even a few candlepower... Better overhaul then expecting them to continue adding to the emissions through other forms of more deadly illumination... .. . Some people use their screens to look @for keys n/ such. .. ...

Now while the privacy issue is an obvious one, are there also any sum +'s that will boost our banking in a better direction? Or is this just another way to leave a trail of breadcrumblies behind us?

Having temporal troubles, temporarily, momentary collapse of reasoning here.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHA I think it's a syndrome, cause I thought the same when I first saw it. Without reading. *hides*

Can you say immaturity and not in a good way?
