OK, but seriously. If Google adopts this into their Maps app (like the coauthor of the study suggests), then your big gripe with it is practically gone (since now a majority of users would have this passively running on their systems). Take that with the fact that the 800 series Snapdragon processors have low-power…

OK. And obviously you know that because you're so much smarter than the authors/researchers involved.

First of all, it was reliable. 95% is pretty damn good. Second, they NEVER SAID GPS. Now I'm sure you're off your rocker, since you didn't even read the damn article, or at least failed to comprehend it...

Why not just, you know, explain why it wouldn't work? Instead of just blinding stating that it won't, as if you know more than a team at a state university and the MIT group that reviewed their product.

Right.. Except that they showed it worked EXACTLY HOW YOU QUOTED IT 19 out of 20 times...

And if Google integrates this into their already large data-collecting services, you'd have that large number already using it passively.

OK. You quoted exactly how the concept works, and then said "that's why"...

Why not?

So, you have no valid argument that that proves/suggests that net neutrality would result in more competition, yet I'm still completely wrong. The issue right now is that there's very little competition, which needs to be solved. Net neutrality doesn't solve anything...

Except they really don't. They just got into each individual market first, and managed to work out an agreement that makes them the only cable provider in the county/city/municipality.

And net neutrality will do NOTHING to make that situation any better. In fact, since there's no 'features' except price for ISPs to compete on in a net neutral market, it would make that even worse...

That's ONE possible outcome out of who-knows-how-many that would occur, because a market adjusts itself to new factors.

No, end-mile ISPs are not the ones carrying the back-end data. You're way off.

Not when Netflix does what they've always done and explains to customers that it's the ISPs' fault. Also, it would be evident when they offer discounts to users on certain ISPs, since that would go to show that it's the ISPs causing the increased prices...

Among land-line broadband, maybe. In fact, somewhere in the ballpark of 60% of the US has at least 2 land-based broadband choices...

which is likely what would occur if the (

This isn't a bad point at all. First time I saw it I just imagined replacing it with a scrolling touch sensor along to sides of the device. So when you scroll your finger up or down the side of the device it would do the same thing as turning the dial clockwise/counterclockwise...

For the record, I have NO IDEA how this is supposed to be used by people who put their watches on their right wrists.. Are you supposed to reach across to dial it with your left hand or is it expected to be put on upside-down?

Dude, $350 is a LOT of money, and that's the starting price...

True of just about every kids' movie I've seen in a long time.
