[citation][nom]tokenz[/nom]Explain how it is slipping away. Mac has no market share in the computer market. Its non existent. So what do you have left? Oh yes the iphone and ipad. Well Microsoft never dominated the mobile market. Blah, blah... you still come off as retarded.[/citation] The way in which people interact with the internet is rapidly changing. Dependency on PC's and Laptops is no longer a necessity. This has largely (though not exclusively) been due to Apple. They have done more to proselytise a new and elegant mobile paradigm than almost any other company. Certainly there are others who have contributed, but, as with USB, Apple thumped the table in a way that garnered more attention. Will people even be using desktop and laptop computers in such numbers within five years or so? I doubt it. Tablets, Smartphones are going to become so powerful, most people will just gravitate toward them. Much like VCR's and CRT's have vanished over the past few years, I suspect the same will happen for the ubiquitous PC. The expected diminution of Flash is merely an example of that change...

[citation][nom]Honis[/nom]Well yes I have. Reading engadget I get some 15+ more tech articles a day and generally live coverage from every major tech event in the USA, Europe, and Japan. Can't remember the last time I saw an original news article from Tom's that wasn't berating users for complaining about a flood of apple news that could easily be summed up in 1-3 articles instead of the 30 articles they choose to write. Although I do find this particular Apple article news worthy, I would have liked it more if they mentioned Apple is still catching up since Verizon's Palm Pre Plus tethers for free without violating your contract.[/citation]

Honis,

We write roughly 25 articles a day, rarely do we write 30. Kind of impossible for us to write 30 apple articles per day if we don't even write 30 in total per day.

[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]Jane, i love it when you get all authorativestillNot as much as that image you planted in the eyes of readers a while ago of "wet tshirt"[/citation]

I don't even remember that!

 

[JMcEntegart]

[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]Guess its time to start going over the old posts...Ctrl+F "wet t-shirt" enter"Oh crap, so I did"[/citation]

I remember, we were all talking about how much it rains in our respective locations and I was saying running in the rain was unpleasant. You imagined the wet tshirt all by yourself! Sometimes I think things would be easier if I used a nom de plume.

I swear, I recall AT&T CEO saying that it would be available in August...last year. I guess they're really good at keeping their word.

/sarcasm.

I commented something about apple (still quoted in second post) and it turned into a massive flame war, and people bashing apple.
It just got really out of hand.

 

[tokenz]

so looks like im banned. I didnt insult the author at all.

 

[tokenz]

Okay. I didnt insult Marcus Yam or any of the authors. I did insult apple as a company. Why are you censoring my comments? I want to know? They didnt have any profanity in them. Yet none of the apple fanboys that posted MOFO in their post got banned? None of the apple fanboys that posted messages calling everyone whiners got banned? Why is that?

Actually if I remember correctly carriers will have the ability to disable tethering.You'll probably have to pay to play.

Here is where you sign-up for iPhone tethering on Apple's web site: http/www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/tethering.html

Using iPhone as a Modem
You can use iPhone 3G or later as a modem to connect, or tether, your computer to the Internet. You can connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or via Bluetooth.

NOTE: Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

Tethering works over the cellular data network. You can’t share a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. If you have a 3G connection, you can make and receive phone calls while tethering.

NOTE: To use iPhone as a modem with a Mac computer, it must be running Mac OS X version 10.5.7 or later.

Set up a tethering connection:
In Settings, choose General > Network > Internet Tethering.

Slide the Internet Tethering switch to On.

Connect iPhone to your computer:

USB: Connect your computer to iPhone, using the Dock Connector to USB Cable. In your computer’s Network services settings, choose iPhone.

On a Mac, a pop-up window appears the first time you connect, saying “A new network interface has been detected.” Click Network Preferences, configure the network settings for iPhone, then click Apply. On a PC, use the Network Control Panel to configure the iPhone connection.

Bluetooth: On iPhone, choose Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Then refer to the documentation that came with your computer system software to pair and connect iPhone with your computer.

When you’re connected, a blue band appears at the top of the screen. Tethering remains on when you connect with USB, even when you aren’t actively using the Internet connection.

Monitor your cellular data network usage:
In Settings, choose General > Usage.
