I really don't know what you people are talking about with 3G not "being ready in the US" or "only working in a dozen cities." I live in a town in Connecticut and have perfect 3G reception on my Blackjack. My 3G has come through in Beverly, Mass as well as Hillsdale, NJ, and most of the Connecticut towns/cities I visit.

Timeline Set for Intel/AMD Antitrust Trial 151

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday April 22, 2006 @12:49PM from the squaring-off dept.

Vitaly Friedman writes "The stage is set for the biggest tech battle in years: the antitrust lawsuit filed by AMD against rival Intel. What sort of effect is it likely to have on the industry and the consumer? From the article: 'Last year, the company filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel, claiming that their rival had "unlawfully maintained its monopoly by engaging in a relentless, worldwide campaign to coerce customers to refrain from dealing with AMD" for more than ten years. AMD has already subpoenaed computer manufacturers, retailers, and even Microsoft to provide documentation pertaining to the case. Now, the timeline has been set for the trial of the Megayear to commence.'"

Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? 698

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 21, 2006 @09:57AM from the shaft-the-listener dept.

melonman writes "According to an article at BBC News, $250 tickets for the latest Madonna tour are the fault of P2P file sharing. 'Before the advent of illegal downloads, artists had an incentive to underprice their concerts, because bigger audiences translated into higher record sales, Professor Krueger argues. But now, he says, the link between the two products has been severed, meaning that artists and their managers need to make more money from concerts and feel less constrained in setting ticket prices.' And it seems David Bowie agrees. Is 'the fans always get fleeced' the rock industry's equivalent to Moore's Law?"
