CNET is reporting the story quite differently: "As part of the deal, Verizon would agree not to selectively throttle Internet traffic through its pipes. That would not, however, apply to data traveling over its wireless network for mobile p

What planet are you on where 10% returns are easy to get? Interest rates are about 1% right now for fixed-return investments. It seems to me that there's no such thing as a safe investment these days and there hasn't been one for a while.

Can someone please explain what this means to people not familiar with Java? I'm confused because I thought open source meant open source, as in "all of the source-code is available." What does 'open source' mean in this context, if not "

no, it's different. I want to be able to stream-content, as well. And I want netflix, iTunes, Hulu, Amazon, and everyone else to know what I've purchased in my lifetime. Even if I bought the 'Shrek' DVD 10 years ago, I should be able to

The DF article said they sold 503 devices "before they pulled the plug." I'm sure MS didn't go around getting all the un-sold devices back from vendors -- they continued selling their stock. It's just that 503 devices were sold when MS d

I bet 90% of thes "basement labs" are just covers for manufacturing meth. Biology is too expensive, and if you want to pursue synthetic biology you can get well funded to do so by the NIH. You don't need a big corporate lab, you just need
