If you have multiple lines, then there might be something in it for you depending on your usage. There is a rumor of shared family data plans. That is you can pay the $50 once and share 5gb across all of the phones on your plan. Obviously it depends on your usage, but I know that it could save me money. I currently pay $30 each for "unlimited" data on my two lines. I use ~3-4GB/month and my wife uses 200mb/month. The 5GB plan could save me $10/month if it was shared across phone lines. Of course this is merely a rumor at this point.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm more impressed that it is able to die when it leaves the water and then re-animate itself when it comes back.

I doubt the people that pay $6300 for a toilet actually clean their own toilets.

Roku boxes have supported HLS for a while now, but don't support RTSP. More content in HLS means more channels for the Roku (public and private).

I'll be in FL then, and I'd love to see the launch. I've always wanted to see one of the launches, but never made it down there.

I've been running custom roms and kernels on my rooted Droid OG for a while now. What exactly was the locked bootloader preventing me from doing?

Spiderman 3 came out in the summer of 2007, which was really only the start of the current economic down turn in the US. It wasn't really till mid to late 2008 that the stuff hit the fan in the US. Unemployment was at 4.8% in April of '08, by March of '09 it was at 9%.

Videos from CES showed people holding the laptop dock with phone upside down and (gently) shaking it. The phone did not leave the dock.

My question was why would anyone buy it, not why would Apple make it.

In all likelyhood, Apple is taking the same approach they took with 3G, let the network built out first. And wait for the 2nd/3rd generation radios that use less power and cost less to buy.

iphone 4 on release next month. VZ is rolling out LTE this year, and the iphone 4 is not compatiable. VZ just eliminated its early upgrade program, so anyone who signs up now will have to wait at least 20 months before getting a new phone. Considering the iphone's are normally refreshed in June/July, why not wait a few months to at least see what the next version of the iphone will bring. Its possible only the GSM iphone will be refreshed this summer and the CDMA one will be refreshed later, but isn't it worth waiting a few months to find out?

Let me guess, you have an TiVo S3 (the one with the OLED display showing what is recording)? The fact that you have used 3 different drives leads me to believe you have had it for a while and the S3 is the oldest HD capable model. If so that explains it. Tivo locked down the external storage after the S3. Only certified drives work out of the box for the TiVo HD and TiVo Premiere.

It doesn't meet the requirements for 4G.

A few reasons:

So when you leave the company or get fired you won't lose the phone # and have to tell everyone you know your new #? If you are fired hopefully you wrote down all of your personal numbers from your phone book before security takes it away.

So your employer doesn't have access to a record of every call you make. If someone higher up is looking for a reason to fire you, they may start looking at your call activity and suddenly that phone call to a friend that works at a competitor will get you in trouble.

By what standard does 3G mean "GSM Network"? None that I have ever heard of. 3G is a term used to describe a variety of technologies that meet certain requirements established by the ITU. Verizon's 3G technology is EVDO. Which is the same 3G technology that Sprint uses for 3G. So even if you were correct is saying that CDMA carriers aren't 3G, then why would the post reference Sprint's 3g network?
