I've experienced some hilarious misses when receiving a non-english voicemail and having Google try to make sense of it. It's not so good with fast talkers either.

A (pre-determined and explicitly stated) fraction. Afterwards, however, shareholders are allowed to sell off their shares, provided they meet any lock-in/holding period requirements first. So, a founder might have to wait 6 months before he

I'm totally ignorant of the Android landscape but does it have a music player than can rival the iPod app music + iTunes syncing of an iPod Touch?

I signed up and am looking forward to trying it out for a new project I'm working on. Just a weird site note: for some reason, my browser is locking up for a few seconds every time I click on a link in my dashboard. My CPU usage is spiking.

starkfist, you'd need to get a prepaid microsim, which I'd imagine is not too common. Or, you could cut up a regular sim.

What is it that you do for 12 hours (genuinely curious)?

Except if your internet goes down. Which happens to me often enough that I only really pay for my service 8 months out of the year, the rest being comp'd. Gotta love Cablevision. Also, what happens if/when, for whatever reason, your node g

We tried using a stick-on whiteboard and had dismal results. The writing surface was not smooth, since the thin material was going over our (bumpy) painted wall. Also, the adhesive would come off after a while, making us tape the whole thin

That's a lot more work, though, than simply leaving a message.

I know we're trying to look at them with a critical lens, but this is really pulling at straws here. This web application does not either: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook....

Agreed. Also, it breaks the back and forwards button. But it's a great start!

I don't know if you're serious or not, but the largest companies are also some of the slowest moving. We had Windows 2000 machines at Merrill Lynch, running Office 2000.

Actually, you'd be surprised. This is purely anecdotal, of course, but around New York City, I see more girls with a Blackberry than iPhone. BBM is really hot. I would say it's the new AIM.

Which is odd since all the other fb connect logins I've ever encountered use a lightbox overlay type form.

Optimum user for a few years. Don't have FiOS in my area yet, so nothing to compare to, but I'm fairly satisfied with OO. The speed is GREAT. The customer service, much less so. I've had a few instances where a neighbor cancelled their serv

Actually, Apple makes a mint on every iPhone and iTouch (see http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/06/iphone_3gs_cost... ) to the tune of about 50% of the retail price, or 100% of the manufacturing cost, whatever way you want to look a

i'd say that's a pretty good advantage when you have a few hundred friends from throughout the years and don't have their email, or they don't have yours, or perhaps you don't want to disclose yours

I think DVDs in Bangladesh (last time I went) were about a dollar as well. And they're just as rampant as in the Philippines. So I have to wonder, why would Redbox be any more popular than pirated discs? Same price, one is ownership and one

To me, it's pretty much the same as the carriers not being too fond of, say, mobile AIM. They still get their data plan cash, though. The sooner more people/services move to BBM, the sooner I can get rid of my outrageously priced text messa

yes, since we're on a tilt the two hemispheres get their summer and winter during opposite seasons when their respective hemisphere is 'facing' the sun while the equator pretty much always gets the same amount of sun

I don't know that the average person even has a clue that it's called Android. All the commercials I've seen usually go along the lines of "T-Mobile G1, with Google".

faith: firm belief in something for which there is no proof Being atheist is not a matter of faith; it's a matter of logic and science. To have faith is to believe in something that does not make logical sense and has not and cannot be prov

But the point is that an atheist does not know and is not completely sure. Religion, on the other hand, tends to sell itself as having all the answers (except when it doesn't, then it's simply a matter of God's will). Atheists simply can't

My knowledge in this field is somewhat weak but from what I can recall Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, and Kamailio all allow for SIP communiction. FreeSWITCH and Kamailio also support Jabber. Asterisk, it seems, has the largest developer community a

Most, if not all, of our elementary and middle schools do have "friendly" names, and as far as I'm aware all the high schools have and go by actual names. Examples: I went to PS 230 and 217, the names of which I never knew nor can remember
