I thought his question implied that they were going to use 4g hotspots to provide wifi. Not to extend 4g coverage but to use it as a backhaul for wifi. Why would he need the hotspots to move? The geography is fixed. Coverage sucked near the shore but was fine around the main stage. I thought he qas asking if there's a better way to position the hotspots to provide maximum wifi coverage...

Comment not a big deal this particular strategy tax (Score 1) 174

Normally I'd say this was a bad for users kind of decision. But honestly office on a phone is mostly irrelevant. Now that OneNote on android and ios are tolerable I think they've hedged their bets well.

Coming from someone that thinks winphone is beautiful but because of network effects will not be a real contender (os/2 warp anyone?)

Typical reactionary FU. My kid will be 3 levels ahead of yours because he's been doing math, physics and biology since he was two. And more importantly having fun while doing it.

At this point I think tablets are mainly ideal for kids. I never use mine except when playing with my son (ultrabook is much more functional).

Lighten up. The kids love them, they'reunbelievably educational and they provide a great way to bond as you play together. Download zoodles and only let your kid play the educational stuff.

Zoodles is excellent. You can even lock the kid in zoodles "kid mode". I got it when my son turned 2 and still use it. Liked it so much I pay for it but it's fully functional for free.

They have hundreds of apps arranged by age. And you can add links to other apps (e.g. angry birds). They send you a weekly report card with more graphs and stats than anyone needs.

  Zoodles is awesome.
