   Especially relevant, as I'll be moving to Kansas City in July and have yet to start the process. Now that I'm only 4 months away, I'll probably tell my employer (a medium sized startup of 25ish employees) and get to applying!

   Without the risk of an insecure cellular network, greed would be the only motivating factor in keeping this a closed device. What about the rumors that the Tablet will include nationwide 3G access, similar to the Kindle? I believe this is

   This article fails to mention one of the best magazines on the market: The Economist. It is always the same: simple title, one picture, and lots of columized text. In addition, they also forget the newspapers. They are always identical from

    Interestingly, GMail has failed twice in the last few weeks since they removed it from beta. Before that, I can only remember one large-scale outage over the previous few years .

    Except in this case, there is only one video game console (the iPhone) with many games (apps) while the original crash's "main cause was supersaturation of the market with dozens of consoles". Furthermore, recent reports still indicate the
