Am I the only one that thinks this is a good start, but severely lacking? Did Apple even think to discuss the usefulness of this with real professors, students, and school? I mean, seriously, there are some rather staggering flaws here. Firstly, this is all based on the supposition that...

azxcvbnm321No, the fixed costs of providing broadband far outweigh the gains to be made by hooking up people in rural areas or in areas with low population density. Optical cables are very expensive to install and they would have to dig up ground and buy up rights to do that. Even if they...

mortsmi7Actually its not suprising considering that rural broadband access grows at a very slow rate due to lack of customer density. Well, it is surprising that people still pay AOL for internet access. The fact that people that live out is more rural areas, almost like myself(I use Verizon...

gio2vanni86Not that i have anything against what you just said, but given the amount of traffic that each cell site gets is quite a lot, add the other 20k ppl sending a txt through that same cell site and they have every right to charge you. I have a brother in the industry and switching out...

Verizon Wireless has, for some time now, been sending out emails to data subscribers(at least for data-only devices) when customers reach 90% of monthly "allowances". There is even an option for getting emails at 50% and 75%, if I remember correctly. So, this is not news, as far as Verizon...

amk-aka-phantomI don't need to convince tech illiterate people of anything, I just mock them You do understand that UMTS/HSPA is based off of CDMA(W-CDMA, but still), right?

I will get excited when Mozilla releases this for the iPad and/or other iOS-based devices. Sure, it is nice to have that option for Android-based tablets, but my employer does not give me the option of using anything other than an iPad.

Oh, thank you God!!! My girlfriend has difficulty with her hearing and it is a nightmare when we go to see a movie at any of the local theaters. This has been a product that has long needed to be realized.

This is really old news.

So, these guys are not interested tramping in free speech; they are just here to trample free speech. Oh, wait, no... Look, you either respect the First Amendment, or you don't. You do not get to go all "a la carte" in how you "respect" it. I see the same problems when fighting with people...

AT&T is stating that the "top 5% of customers" are using "...12 times more data than the average of all other [customers]". Since the average, according to AT&T is 200MB to 400MB, that would place the "top 5%" at around 2400MB to 4800MB. That 2.3~GB to 4.7~GB, which is not a lot. To me, this...

How many times does this have to be said? Spectrum is not a limiting factor for wireless networks. The number of subscribers that a given area's network can handle is spectrum, multiplied by the number of cell sites(towers). Of course, AT&T would rather that the dumb masses not look at the...

Asus, a company that wants customers to pay to NOT install "bloatware". All kinds of awesome.

jerreeceTexting while driving, in my opinion, is much worse than talking while driving. Holding your phone and chatting verbally takes much less concentration than trying to text with one thumb while driving.I had the urge to update my Facebook status while driving yesterday. But I pulled over...

WhySoBluePandaBearOk, fight the Government and down with TSA, but really guys...why can't he just walk through a scanner? You can't see anything...they're not literally 12 mega-pixel, full color pictures of you nude...they're blurred out, junk quality images that only show obvious things like a...
