The unlimited data that Sprint gives you is not supposed to be for tethering. If you want the tethering app on Android to work, you need to pay Sprint a monthly fee of $30 a month. [1] I have a hunch that this will apply to the iPhone too.

What is stopping you from installing another browser on the Fire? Wouldn't that entirely bypass Silk?

The Kindle DX is a niche device. As of now, Amazon probably just wants to charge as much as they can, as long as it still sells. With that said, I'm also interested in the DX. The only problem is that I can't justify that price when I can g

Chatting and Google Voice don't work well because those are relatively real-time activities, and the Kindle can't handle those well. E-mail, however, will work just fine.

This is really great. I was thinking about buying a TouchPad for all my textbooks, but I greatly prefer the e-ink display of the Kindle. With this, I no longer have an excuse for the TouchPad. Thanks!

Back in 2003, the source code for Half Life 2 was leaked by somebody in Germany. The hacker eventually contacted Valve himself, and expressed interest in working for the company. Valve then staged a fake job interview, and tried to trick hi

The main problem I have with this lifestream idea is with how all the data is in one central location online. Because it is connected to the internet, there is always the possibility that it could be attacked. It would be a relatively entic

One or two Halloweens ago, I went over to Steve's house. While everybody was waiting in line, it turned out that Steve was standing behind a doorway, where everybody was going through. He just stood there. Nobody noticed until they started

Right, but most icons do not exist in a high resolution format yet (as far as I know, I would appreciate if somebody to correct me on this, if I am wrong). Apple's retina display works because they have graphics that are the same physical s

Can't you just use an off-shore DNS?

When the pixel density is that high though, the text starts to strain your eyes.

No wonder Steve didn't like Flash: it made the MacBook Pros run extremely hot, and instantly kicked the fans up to full throttle.

No, it was on the Google Fiber network at their house (in Stanford). To speak of one is to speak of the other, currently.

I have a friend who lives at Stanford, where his mother is a professor. After he torrented some legitimate software (but used a Pirate Bay tracker), he was contacted by Stanford authorities. That was the first warning he received, he did no

Unfortunately Google Fiber at Stanford does not allow torrenting.

I purchased one at 12:40 PM PST today from Amazon, at full retail price. Four hours later, they promised me to issue a refund so the price was the $99 HP price. It wasn't incredibly difficult to get one, if you really wanted to.

As somebody else mentioned, it's unfortunate that one bad person could ruin it for everybody else. Is it possible to restrict the card only to coffee (to prevent huge catering orders)?

Allowing the people to unlock the boot loader if they want is a good idea. People who aren't interested in rooting/installing custom ROMs won't have to bother.
