In February, this same publication declared, "Google's Buzz Puts Facebook, Twitter On Notice": http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2359017,00.asp I'm detecting a pattern.

Exactly. If I watched HD video on my iPhone, I would destroy my 2GB cap very quickly. But I can use the web and play QRANK and such constantly for a month and barely put a dent in it.

KeePassX + Dropbox = no more need to remember passwords. Although KeePass is annoyingly fussy about concurrent access to the database. I should investigate if there are other options that also will work across Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, and

A good idea, but giving children new parents is both expensive and legally sticky.

I'd love to give Netbeans a real shot, but I can't deal with the fact that it is completely unable to match the font settings of the rest of my GNOME desktop. Eclipse (and any other SWT toolkit app) = matches my native fonts. Netbeans (and,

> Not recommending it = you should skip it. Nonsense. There is a whole vast middle ground between "recommended" and "you should skip it". Consumer Reports is about helping people make educated choices, not some remedial "yes/no" recomme

Awful headline (on the WSJ's part). Consumer Reports didn't say anything that could be meaningfully construed as "skip iPhone 4". What they said is that they can't put their "Recommended" marks on it until Apple addresses the antenna proble

Yeah, when he listed the physical keyboard as a "why is this here" example, I knew the guy had nothing to say that was of any value to me. I certainly have no problem with people liking the Apple Way (typing this on a 13" MBP, charging my i

No. The engineer is crying because fudging the arbitrary visualization is considered the solution instead of "implementing a realistic algorithm, pronto".

Without a college degree, I may very well have been able to find a job that pays me what I make now that I'm a few years out of school. But with a degree, I have a choice of a range of jobs in that pay scale. My dad made a good living wit

I get that. I guess my point is that it doesn't seem like lack of money is the problem that needs solving. It's not about blame so much as the fact that with BP on the hook for the bill, money isn't the thing that's in need. You know what w

How can you tell if donations are going to help "close the gap", instead of paying for things BP should be covering? Is it clearly defined what BP is covering? If not, how do charities know that the money they're putting into action is fill

Maybe I'm missing something (very possible!), but I don't understand donations for the oil cleanup. Every single donated penny that goes to fixing the spill or its effects should come from BP's wallet instead. I don't mean BP should be cruc

That doesn't significantly change the issue. Whether one can cut the bill immediately or in X months time, the point is that the last thing AT&T should want is people saying, "why am I paying $X when I hardly use it?" They should want t

by Legion 16y ago
Exactly. If you're AT&T, when households are looking at their bills for stuff to cut, you don't want them looking at their data plan and saying, "well, I guess I don't use it very much..." You want the gym membership to get the axe.

I have long felt this way as well. Unfortunately, there is a very vocal minority of gamers who scream this idea down. These are the people from which the "game-playing loser" stereotype comes from - the people that really do spend nearly ev

It's especially egregious given that the presentation slide for the unveiling read: "BREAKTHROUGH DEAL WITH AT&T": http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/apple-... So the "deal" was "epic bait-and-switch"?
