It's only supported with some carriers, such as sprint and t-mobile.

They seem to flip back and forth about remote working. Less than 3 years ago: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2838-were-relocating-everyone...

They've started sending the MMS through email, at least for ones coming from Sprint users.

Changes in commodities prices in Chicago will have "known" affects on stock prices in NYC. If you can get the information between the two cities faster, then despite this equal access in the last leg you can still take advantage of knowing before the others.

Time warner also charges you to enable the wifi.

This not true for all carriers. T-mobile has cheaper non-contract plans.

No-contract is 50 dollars for unlimited everything ($70 if you want 4G): http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans

With a contract it is 90 dollars for unlimited everything (which I believe is roughly standard across the industry): http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/individual-plans.aspx

I thought this ad was pretty good and makes fun of the old versions of IE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4...

Out of curiosity what device did you get? And what was your reason for switching?

For this bill, but it would show them that need to be representing their constituents.

Immediately after saying that he didn't understand the technology, Rep. Watt said "I don't believe that" (in regards to the internet being less safe if this bill is passed). It's frustrating to see people (like Watt) make decisions in a total darkness without being able to refute others/support their case.

There are a few gotchyas with this setup from my friend's experience when he used a windows phone and google voice via sprint:

1. Reading an sms on the phone doesn't mark it read on google voice and vice versa (it's like having pop email)

2. If your phone is off and you get a call the phone won't let you know you missed a call like the google voice app would. This is important in NYC where you're often in the subway and want to know if you missed any calls.

There might have been other issues but these were the two that I remembered off the top of my head.

Why is dropbox suddenly getting a slew of coverage? Did this article get written because got a big feature in Fortune? Did they just hire someone to interact with the press?

Is that supposed to be a jab at Bill Gates?

Many publishers don't allow their books to use the TTS feature. Possibly because they fear that it would could into their audio-book market. Amazon may have decided that it's a feature that's too infrequently used to justify the cost.

I think messenger is part of windows live, which I've been told falls under the windows umbrella.

O'Reilly is critical of tech companies that try to avoid paying taxes. In fact he posted a lengthy article about why amazon should stop trying to avoid paying taxes in California: https://plus.google.com/107033731246200681024/posts/QypNDmvJ...

I'm not saying your conclusions are wrong, but Microsoft is also setting records every quarter, yet I think many would be skeptical about microsoft's future.

What normal person downloads the app thinking that the developer is going to get 20%. I'd wager most people are completely ignorant of this.

Usually the only insurance you're required to have is for damage you do to others, not your own car. You're allowed screw yourself over.

This video made by Google is pretty good and covers many of the concerns people have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMabEyrtPRg

Cost of storing data:

S3: $0.140 per GB (at the most expensive rate) vs. Google: $0.17 per GB (at their only listed rate)

The rest seems to be the same though.

Define "very good". Didn't the stock have one of it's biggest single day drops in a long time?

What middleman is taking 80%?

You might want to update the link to the actual article rather than a BBC tech landing page. :-) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/9456798.s...

What's your second sentence supposed to mean?

The document attached to the article shows the age distribution for both companies.

This headline is pretty deceptive. The first graph also shows that Google employees buy more fresh fruit and vegetables.

The article in the WSJ insinuates that it can come from either IE or the toolbar:

Stefan Weitz, director of the Bing search engine at Microsoft, said in an interview the company studies how certain users interact with Google in order to improve Bing. It does this by looking at "clickstream data," or information that users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer or the Bing search toolbar voluntarily share with the company
