Comment Is it really their "right"? (Score 1) 671

How is this any different from doing personal things/errands on company time? I mean most of us (including me) telecommute to work and I use my office time to do personal work (gym, errands, cooking, etc) while also giving up my personal time (weekends, evenings, etc) for company work as it comes up or becomes necessary. So by that same token, does company property really have a right to dictate what you can do with it? You are giving back to the company in terms of work done, productivity, reports, etc. As long as you deliver what's expected, why does it matter how its done as long the its not compromised?

Submission + - IPhone 4S's Siri is a bandwidth guzzler (washingtonpost.com)

Frankie70 writes: Siri’s dirty little secret is that she’s a bandwidth guzzler, the digital equivalent of a 10-miles-per-gallon Hummer H1.

A study by Arieso shows that users of the iPhone 4S demand three times as much data as iPhone 3G users and twice as much as iPhone 4 users, who were identified as the most demanding in the 2010 study.

In all, Arieso says that the Siri-equipped iPhone 4S “appears to unleash data consumption behaviors that have no precedent.”

Has anyone out there done anything similar or thinking of something similar and can share ideas? I already have a few.... have QR codes, have some basic embedded circuit/plate with wire leads that maybe plays a song, etc when you connect a battery, have a way to turn up a display LCD, etc."

Comment Re:Landlines and cellphones --- TO INDIA?? NOW WAY (Score 1) 294

WHATEVER the FUCK, come on somebody give me a service that calls phones (cell/landline) to India for cheap, less than 10c. NO..NOT ONE, all claim cheap, but if you carefully observe its NOT countries like India. Skype offers some 17c, Gizmo offers 22c, so where is it for people like me to appreciate calling frm PCs to phone??
