@Xagest: Put up feeders in your neighbors yards.

Toaster + egg poacher = great breakfasts every day. (technically dual-use...)

You know there's some executives in Verizon thinking "5x the data usage means we should be making 5x profits!" Sounds like a great time to push out the data caps and overage fees!

No one has gotten in trouble lately due to taking pictures. The problems are from people recording video which corrupt cops are claiming violates wiretapping laws because they recorded audio also. It would be nice to hear this lawyer's take on those abuses of the law to stop video (with audio) recordings.

This is a great netbook OS. I've used both Jolicloud and Ubuntu netbook remix. I would suggest either one.

I think the people at the RIAA are thrilled by this. Now when they claim that pirated music costs them millions they can point to this article as proof. Then again they blew the money themselves on purpose, but most people don't look too deep into the facts.

That might help BP close off the well. They should try that approach next.

@talkingstove: Thank god someone else has common sense to see this. The iPhone's biggest complaints were signal strength so Apple "fixed" it by misleading customers, and now they're caught.

What idiot sues over a defective product instead of returning it?

If the iPhone 4 doesn't work, why don't you return it? If I bought a TV that couldn't display video I would return it. You bought a defective product - return it.

@buzztechyear: Are you kidding me? The iPhone is a status symbol first and a phone last. It doesn't matter how the bad call quality is, how many calls it drops, and how horrible your coverage is. People will still buy the iPhone because it's pretty.

@ehed: Actually being able to make calls while holding the phone is important to me.

You could have said the same thing about AOL users back in 1999. No one will ever use more than 5mb of data a month because modems are so slow.

The Apple/AT&T column is still wrong - for "unlimited data" it should display the total monthly cost plus the maximum overage fees that a user can rack up. That, or just remove the iPhone's entry in the unlimited column.

Those can't be CEOs at a press event, none of them are wearing turtle necks!

"This is what his close friend—who emailed us the information in the first place—said happened:"

Wow that article misses a huge cost associated with biking - it takes a lot longer for most rural commuters (this does make more sense for you city people).

@dragonskin: I'd rather see a Digg style comment system where you can up/down vote comments. Not all starred commenters make great comments every time. There are many non starred comments that never get promoted. I'd like to see the entire "star" system go away.

I have cable for ESPN, Discovery channel, and local sports. If those go online I'll tell Time Warner to take a hike.

@Matthew Hessler: The prepaid company StraightTalk has $45/month unlimited data, text and minutes. The downside is that you have to use their phones and no 3G.
