hey fuckface, thanks for responding. actually I'm quite interested in Android, yet frustrated in the lack of phones.

I'm growing tired of hearing about android when they only have one phone available in the US. how about no more android news until they release a new phone. deal? ok thanks

forget about freedom of choice for apps for just a moment, I just want to be able to set my iphone to never autolock. WTF apple, it's connected to a power source and yet you insist on locking it every 5 fucking minutes.

so your ms keyboard still works great but your ipod HD crashed? shocking

My iphone is going on ebay once I see an android phone come to market with decent hardware. My #1 gripe with the iphone is I can't develop apps and put them on just my phone, without paying 99/year. I'm just not interested in the app store. Android lets developers install apps on their phone for free. Though I suspect apple will loosen it's grip as android/pre/blackberry gain traction and maybe we'll see background apps and other features.

why do I have to pay 99/year to tinker with the SDK and install apps on only my phone. wtf apple! what is the great threat of me installing an app that on my personal phone?

sorry, you can outsource gov't contracts

so you're part of the 3% that doesn't have an existing cell phone? assuming you didn't break your contract, you're price is 99 + 24x(difference between current and new plan), which could be $99

if we're talking about trucks, I don't think you can tow/haul with a non-diesel turbo engine. that would be why they are big naturally aspirated engines.

actually it's got an application layer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZigBee_specification

iobridge looks interesting but I don't have a ethernet available where I would want to use it. And at $99 is a bit pricey.

Control4 on Oprah? I gotta start watching.

ZigBee was never designed for streaming music or transferring files, so shockingly, it doesn't do that well. How many bytes do you need to open a window shade? X10??

I have no problem with insteon except for their proprietary nature. Last I checked the best you could do was a closed source .NET SDK with shaky support.

Actually ZigBee was designed for interoperability. Check out ZigBee Application Layers:: http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90000976_C.pdf I think part of the problem with automated light switches is they're high liability and low volume. It burned down your house? oops sorry.
