No, the $100 rebate is incredibly shabby. I waited and waited to have my Photon 4G updated as promised to ICS only to have Motorola say "Oops! Sorry!" just before it was supposed to come out. Now I'm stuck with a dead-end phone for another year. I can't get any carrier rebates, and $100 will not cover anything close…

MN Hwy 7 and 12th Avenue in Hopkins, MN. There's nothing confusing, crazy, or overtly remarkable about it, but if you're on 12th and waiting for the light, might as well turn your car off and grab a few winks. I have spent DAYS of my life waiting for that one to turn.

Reverse: If I remember correctly, root cause was that Ford specified a different internal pressure than what the tire was designed for in order to create a "smoother ride." (as in the suspension was too hard, but they didn't have enough time to change that so they just deflated the tires.) They paid Bridgestone a…

Wow, I know this is late. But I just got the game. I hope there's still space left on the team (fat chance, right). My gamertag is SirMikan.

Looks like someone got conned into the Safari install by iTunes auto-update...

What people always seem to forget is that Sprint roams on Verizon's network, and also has unlimited roaming.

Isn't all of this gesture crap actually software? How does software fall under design patents? Since software is written, it should be copyrighted, but not patented. The hardware itself is patented, but how that hardware interfaces with the user is done through software.

You know, it'd be nice if the Windows layout could get in on some of this brushed aluminum sexiness. I think many people out there with a Silverstone of Lian-Li chassis wouldn't mind finally having a quality keyboard to match their box.
