Alright, here's a data point that might throw a monkeywrench into this situation...
I have an ipod, still on 5.1.1, that I drive around all day connected to a verizon wifi hotspot thingy with a 3GB data plan. Usually, I download the couple of podcasts I listen to at home before work, but if I forget, I'll go ahead and download it out on the road, they run about 40 MB or so. The only other thing I do is a few emails, a few google searches, and the occasional look at facebook.

In the past, I would sometimes get the 50% usage email and chuckle because the cycle ended the next day.

Yesterday I got the warning that I've already used 1.5 GB since the 10th. Going onto verizon's site, it looks like I'm using 3-5 times more data than I would expect at approximately the times I would be listening to the podcasts.

Maybe unrelated? But I've literally never used data that fast in the 2+ years I've been doing this. Even when I first got on Pandora and really listened to it a lot, I didn't start getting data warnings until I was 2.5-3 weeks into the cycle..

So, TL;DR This might be a problem with the podcasts app or some other phenomenon unrelated to ios 6 per se.

  I'm just putting it into and out of airplane mode for now, kind of a PITA though.

Dude, that's what the skip button is for!

Well, considering the Prius would probably need a couple of JATO bottles to reach 205 mph, I bet this thing still wins.

Say, could you link to a source for the 'laser-produced incandescents' you're talking about? I'm very interested. I agree with you on many of your points, and would add that I have yet to find a CFL that can be dimmed for crap. I've tried 3 different brands of very expensive bulbs marked 'dimmable', and brought each of them back to the store the same day.

Why does it seem to me that if I were planning a trip to the moon, I wouldn't really have 'art people'?

I found this an interesting look at how labels treat their bands, and it kind of straddles the 'digital revolution'. It's a blog entry about an unrecouped band trying to get digital sales credited on their statement, to hilarious effect.

I always thought it looked like someone drowning. or surrendering.. you know

lol = dont shoot!

actually, 3D is one of the only reasons to bother going to the theater vs. watching it from the comfort of my living room for a tenth the price. Some of the new 3D movies aren't too bad.
 

I agree with this.

I stopped reading the review right there.

Maybe in your city. In my city, libraries get shut down because there's not enough money to keep them open and pay the teachers unions at the same time.

Get over it.
