Sounds better then having to pay $70 a month for cable TV. When I had cable TV I never watched the majority of the channels they pushed on me.

Ah yeah it's been awhile since I took a networking class; more into front end coding these days & start-ups. I guess even the IP address since it's based by router would not be completely effective, especially in large companies. Thoug

Why not grab the users Mac address and IP and award them a badge based on each comment they leave? A disqus like startup can add such a system and the badges would range from extremely positive to extremely negative (hateful useless troll).

I totally agree. Another good pairing I have thought is HP(webOS to me needs better branding then either HP or Palm) and Nintendo. Exclusive access to Nintendo games and Nintendo allows devs to create/submit apps using some of their IP (L

Mine just tried to update to Froyo and it bricked her Droid. Verizon is sending a replacement in the mail and she will be receiving it within five days. Though they offered her to send it overnight for $20, yet it's not her fault. Too bad

Ask the average joe (the majority of Internet users) if they know what a web browser is, also ask them what Net Neutrality is. Do you think 15% would know and explain what either is? If all of us care about the Internet and are appalled at

In-factual to hacker news crowd yes. To the average person does it matter? They need to be told in a dumbed down fashion. Like, "If you disliked iPhone on AT&T only, this Google/Verizon pact is going to making using the Internet suck

They are creating a new line of smartphones using Palm's WebOS. It looks to be a great piece of software but can HP do any better then Palm did with it? Maybe they can turn this IP/phone device and co-brand it with Nintendo (Nintend IP pho

Agreed i used my friend's EVO and she laughed saying your iPhone 3G looks like a Palm Treo circa 2005. Which I agreed. The EVO's screen is awesome; better then the iPhone 4.

Using RIAA/MPAA content is a sure-fire to get traction, as the whole Internet craves/dies for their content. Ironcially, content they dont want to pay for. Overall the majority of businesses who utilize & market to users come get RIAA/

WoW - what? Start-ups are going to have to pay ISPs to get "prioritization"? If this is true Google just like Skype is selling it's soul to Verizon and if this deal goes through the Internet is seriously going to change for the worst.
