@MercerCh00x: What does that have to do with wax cheesburgers? You totally lost me.

@East Indian: What about the not insignificant restocking fees many of those people will have to pay?

@Evodico: Yes, that is reasonable, and the time to do that was prior to launchday.

@skt.smth: Those cable markups are where the big box stores make a lot of their operating costs. Stores like Frys and Best Buy are not cheap to operate, and to be competitive they can't have insane markups on the components.

@zeroprime: If that is what always happened, maybe. But the calls don't seem to drop unless you are in a marginal cell area. Holding the phone by the lower left (a VERY common way to hold it) borks the antenna, but does not remove all calling ability or download ability. It is just slower. Not even that much

@Arken: And it is not even WAX!

@hunterlholder: And I have even found a few things that Droid doesn't.

@MercerCh00x: Example please? I am not familiar with this. I know the commercials show WAY faster performance than any actual phone gets, but the droid commercials did the same time distortion crap.

@WilliamTheFifth: I love my old 3g iphone, and that video made me cry I was laughing so hard.

@jcrane2: Time in line to buy, time to return, restocking fee. Pretty clear cut damages in many (but not all) cases.

@kaiz3n: Well, I would want my 10-15% restocking fee back that many of those returns are charging.

@burlow: If you are in a good reception area you won't see any droppage of bars, so you really need to do a few net speed tests to see if you are being affected. In a poor reception area (whith att has a LOT of) then it can be the difference between getting a signal and not.

@webdevmike: YOU TOO? I hate that guy. Always coming to my house with those eyelid toothpicks and strapping me to the chair in front of my computer while playing classical music.

This is awesome. I so want this.

@Hearthatvoiceagain: And it wasn't even 'old airships' so much as 'german airships'.

@xair: Isn't twitter the modern telegraph?

@LegacyCrono: But a constant supply chain is not urgent if well planned, and this is what I think this would be for.

@xair: Or you could design them to use hydrogen as well. One disaster that was arguably not even related to the hydrogen is hardly enough to stop the practice. We have had FAR more deaths in modern passenger airliners, I think you could make a safe enough hydrogen blimp, ESPECIALLY for cargo usage.

@LegacyCrono: No kidding. It is like rail travel vs airlines.

@N@tedog: The future will be SO AWESOME.
