The real appeal of the Kindle Fire and the Nook are their inexpensiveness and availability without a contract.

The hardware is the only thing that counts, the operating system is irrelevant since it would be wiped out with a Cyanogen mod.

Awesome. Good for the judge for even being able to figure it out, and not calling it "The Face Book"

I've been trying to find an arcade in the Sacramento area for a long time, and nobody seems to know where one even is.

Newegg has Solid State Disks on sale right now...

I think this is just assumed by now.

Wired copied this story from io9, who originally brought attention to this blog 4 days ago.

I think, what we need is a popular website that purposefully doesn't work right in IE, only in Firefox.

I know Firefox is superior, but I try telling that to my friend who always counters with ___ website doesn't work right in Firefox, and then there's my parents who are small business owners, and some of their vendors have websites that use ActiveX things, so of course don't work with anything but IE.

Yay, first post!

They have those things in Sacramento California also, they suck! I hate them! They're the worst!
I heard in some cities though that they place sensors under the parking spots that reset the meter whenever somebody removes their car, as another way of making sure nobody gets any free time.

The cities that have done this have also been sued by big telcos.

Why isn't it as simple as take the old hard disk out, and put the new one in?

XP already supposedly had this ability, it just didn't work.

Far as I know, Hulu is owned by NBC. They already own the content. They can do what they want with it. Comacast (and other cable companies) don't own content. They can't do anything with something they don't own (or license). It's that simple.

But also, I don't know why the cable companies want to have a website for internet TV. They say it's not for revenue, and it certainly couldn't be, a big website like Hulu costs a lot to develop, and while I like Hulu, it doesn't make me think any more or less of NBC, or earn them any goodwill.

Yeah, they make money from advertising, but it can't come close to what it cost to develop the site.

That would be great if you could determine who was DDoSing you.

So far I only read about how you can use this to unblock somebody calling your cell phone, how do you implement it on somebody calling your land line with caller ID?

How does it handle situations where the caller ID info is not transmitted by the switch? (if the call is coming from overseas or from some rural place)
