Sure people could use batteries in a dangerous way, but at least there are others that could do something about the fire/damage. Down with the checked luggage, I assume the plane would not react until things were much worse...

It is a stupid comment because one could then argue that they should never see a film in a movie theater with a much larger screen and higher resolution.

Seems like the average joe/jane only believes in contracts when they get ALL the benefits with no downside. Don't get me wrong, I think there needs to be some more checks and balances with the carriers, but a contract is a contract. If you don't agree to it, don't sign it. If you don't care to read and understand it (or can't understand it - find help!) that's your own damn fault! Only in the USA can we blame everyone else for our own problems.

My mortgage...how was I supposed to know that I can't afford to live next to a wealthy CEO even though I have an entry level job. Must be the someone else fault I got myself into that situation without even giving it a rational thought!

Too good to be true? Not if the village idiot can convince the village to follow them

You honestly think Apply won't care because they'll sell more? They don't seem interested in selling Mac OS standalone...

It is more like getting something out of the glove box while driving around. There's no wind out in space...oh and there's no one else on the road so you don't really have to "drive".

BS! Most Grandma's don't have a clue what a GB is and I'd go further to say most don't even have internet. It is true they would pay more per bit, but overall I think they should pay less.

The fixed cost argument is also BS. Look at water, electricity, gas, etc. Have a similar breakdown and use metered billing. This would give the providers the incentive to have faster speeds so that those who actually use the darn thing could generate more income.
