It's not absurd though for the military to have the capacity to bounce 600 gigabits/s around the globe. There are commercial sattelites with capacities beyond 110 gigabits/s

Not really sure what you mean by "not in the class of the iPad". For less than half the price you get more than half the performance. I don't think theres benchmarks out there yet but I don't think its fair to say that a Tegra 3 Quadcore is

Can't believe i'm even replying to this but here goes. Your'e exactly whats wrong with Apple, instead of looking and hoping for innovation and risks your essentially saying don't bother, it's been done before. Maybe this device will be 'cra

I fail to see how a 10" iPad is a compelling device. Theres one sitting here in my household and it barely gets used. It's far too locked down to be of any use at that size. Far too close to an actual laptop than a phone in reality. Where t

How long does it wait for an answer? Basic maths will allow you to work out what Chunk is required from the torrent swarm to get the answer pretty quickly.

Sending bad data won't prevent anything either, It will merely slow down the peers by wasting bandwidth. Torrents by nature work against bad data being received by hash checking each chunk of data. (You can't trust anyone on the internet).

No I don't think hes confused, I feel the same way. What made the Kindle issue "OK" is that Kindle was undermining the Apple marketplace. This is simply not the case here. Apple are just being 'assholes'. A link to a link, to a link that se

While I agree theres no standard definition, theres a general agreement between all parties that LTE is "4G" and HSDPA+ is "3G" (or "3.5G" if you will). To argue the semantics of what "3G" and "4G" really is only confuses customers even mor

Disk drives are dirt cheap, and a single blu ray can hold 25+ GB of data. Try putting that down a 1mb home connection.

Apple users adapt to the Apple way of working, you compromise on the cons for the simplicity of the pros. Be that right or wrong.

Schools already have books so the only ones bought are those to replace. Occasionally a new batch may be bought, but not at a rate of every book, every 4 years. Based on your maths if you consider that each student uses 17 individual books

Agree, iCloud isn't really a file sync it's more of an application data sync. I moved from Googles cloud to calendar and contacts because of the seamless sync between my iPhone and Mac. I wouldn't say iCloud is DOA, more of a lack luster fi

In reality, they may not be dead/suspended, and due to poor programming by the developer it could be sitting there wasting resources (read: battery). This is not acceptable. Now, I know Apples current method of working with background apps

You could change the DNS settings on your home router, so when your machines pull the DHCP data you will receive the modified DNS. But when out and about, everything will work as expected.

They both go very much hand-in-hand. Not saying they should be a single entity, but when you are at-least designing a website you should be aware of what "SEO" tricks are good and bad for the site. SEO is so bad anyway in my opinion - shoul
