Does anyone have a clue (or has heard any rumors) about what the release cycle on the iPad will be? Are they going to start releasing it in the fall, or are we going to see something this March?

I'm really not even sure the new one is an iPad 4. What's different? A6X (Still dual core), Front Facing Camera, and the Lightning connector. It makes me wonder if we might see a new iPad in March as usual.

The carrier has tons of power in the US, because they are the ones that actually buy the phones. They order them from the manufacturers, and choose which ones are sold to your average consumer. It's nearly impossible to buy your own phone on Verizon and Sprint. So, they have a fair bit of say in what goes on.

Leaving this hear, so I remember to get back to it (hopefully). Looking at the addiction rates, my guess is there is a correlation between addiction and economic health. I don't know much about the economic health over time in the US, or statistics for that matter, but depending how the define "addiction" people might…

I'm curious, how does it send it to the other operator? Internet? Is there a central registry of all operators, or is it ad hoc?

I'm don't truly agree with the entire idea either. You were sort of asking for advantages of SMS over iMessage, so I made an argument for it. I still find it creepy that one person holds the keys to the iMessage castle. (in BBM, both carrier and RIM have to be in on it to allow people to read messages) I'm not sure…

Well, there isn't a hell of a lot to go by on either side. But I do logically thing that Apple may have shared these keys with repressive governments, or may allow them access under certain conditions. My reasoning is that iMessage is not banned. BBM sort of paved the road for this. I think repressive governments…

Do what I did. Sell the iPad used when the new one comes out. It cost me like $150 to go from an iPad 1 (gifted) to an iPad 2. People are silly and you can get an absurd amount of money for a used previous gen iPad, and it also helps that you don't have to charge sales tax.

The problem as I see it is that these unencrypted messages over SMS have legal security built into them. Generally if you want a copy of (as a government) of someone's text messages, you have to go through some form of legal proceedings. If you want to listen in on text messages (as a hacker), you have to catch them…

It was, and then it came out that someone screwed up the science and they were wrong.

You could try jailbreaking it and installing the app from another source. There isn't a lack of alternative app installation sources.

It works fine with multi monitors, it just treats it as just one really wide monitor.

Their math is correctish. To lose, you would need to lose 11 times or more. The probability of losing once is 4/9. The probability of losing 11 times thus (4/9)^11. (4/9)^11 = 0.0001. If you don't lose you win. Thus, the probability of not losing by exactly 11 trials is 1 - (4/9)^ 11 or 0.999. However, you can still…

"—up to double the size they claiml."

Now it might be alright :P I get annoyed when paid apps don't update as quick as they should too.

Could be Apple. Sometimes I've had free apps hit the Store before the paid ones did. Not common, but I wouldn't blame TWC yet.

I can say that they appear to have some degree of autonomy from News Corp. The vast bias found in a certain News Corp owned news source stateside appears to be gone, all though you can sometimes feel it leak through in some stories republished from elsewhere. Some stories are more befitting to a tabloid than a typical…

I nearly never close a tab, and keep opening new ones. I run one browser session in Chrome and keep my computer on. When I do finally close the browser it is not suprising to see I had 400+ tabs open. Luckily, I have an i7 with 4GB ram that seems to keep most of the freezing problems at bay.

The iPhone is old. You can get a very recent Android phone on contract for free. From what I've observed anecdotaly, people who don't know much about technology, and don't have a lot of money to spend will tend to go with the newest free phone on offer. The iPhone no doubt sells because it's an iPhone, but people will…

How do you do that? I'm blocked on a non-Verizon (GSM) Galaxy Nexus and want to try this.
