Comment Banks are for profit now (Score 1) 1

No real way to resolve it if he was the highest authority at that bank. From what it sounds like they just want to make it harder for you to do transactions without an atm card because it is easier on them. The harder they make it for you to do transactions any other way then their way the more likely you will do what they want, which saves them time/money. Only real response is to call up wamu's national line (or equivalent) and complain that he refused to accept valid ID and wasted your time, with any luck (and other complaints) someone might call him about it, although if it ends up actually having an effect is another matter.

Submission + - China copies iPhone; makes it even better (popsci.com)

An anonymous reader writes: China duplicates a lot of well know products; now they are duplicating the iPhone. Yet apparently they are making it better. From the article "The miniOne looked just like Apple's iPhone, down to the slick no-button interface. But it was more. It ran popular mobile software that the iPhone wouldn't. It worked with nearly every worldwide cellphone carrier, not just AT&T, and not only in the U.S. It promised to cost half as much as the iPhone and be available to 10 times as many consumers." The cloned iPhone uses a Linux-based system. "The cloners hire a team of between 20 and 40 engineers to begin decoding the circuit boards. At the same time, coders start to develop an operating system for the phone with a similar feature set. (The typical cloner either uses off-the-shelf code, writes something entirely new, or modifies a publicly available Linux-based system.) "

Submission + - FCC says 'no' to cheap rural Internet (theinquirer.net)

Tech.Luver writes: "theinquirer reports, " THE FCC has rejected plans to use spare capacity in the broadcast spectrum to provide cheap, fast, Internet access to remote areas of the country. A consortium of practically unknown technology companies including Microsoft, Google, Dell, Intel, HP and Philips have been told that their plan could cause interference to TV broadcasts. The FCC claims that the proposed system 'cannot reliably detect' spare capacity and rejected the scheme that could have brought fast Web access to rural areas badly served by existing transport mechanisms."
