@7447: MyWi says otherwise.

Used to do that. Now I have Google Reader. Muuuuuch better.

I just use Google Reader for that. I can log in at work, or on my phone, or at home, and not re-read anything. If a site doesn't have a decent RSS, I'm probably not going to follow it anyway. RSS isn't difficult.

@rnrxtreme: It's gay COUPLES. Not just any gay employee. All Google is doing is helping gay couples who are "married" to the extent they can be under the current asinine legal system make the same amount of money as straight couples. No more, no less.

@BeyondtheTech: That's not really true. Flip phones usually carry a subsidy in the $100-$150 range, nice messaging phones $150-$250, and smartphones $200-$400. All flexible, but high-end smartphones are (usually) subsidized way heavier.

@OCEntertainment: I imagine that the justification for lightsabers being blades is that they're actually a very tight parabolic arc that resembles, due to the light bleeding, a fixed length blade. Insert all the handwavium physics you need.

@zmnatz: Wired networks are not the same as wireless. There's a lot more issues when you have lots of bandwidth through wireless (phone calls being unstable come to mind) than you do with wired (your torrents don't go so fast).

@BeyondtheTech: As for #1, if you want to opt out of internet you should have buy the phone outright. High end smartphones are subsidized really heavily, and part of the data plan is to recover that cost.

@Michael Humphreys: So why should you pay the same amount that I do, using WiFi at home and work and pulling far less bandwidth through the celluar network?

@Izod517: And how, exactly, is that an unreasonable position? Should that NOT be the position, where people pay in proportion to their consumption?

The reps were there to fix cross upgrades and do some basic troubleshooting. They made it so people doing upgrades on one line but wanting to use it for another didn't have to go find an AT&T store, explain to the bitter rep there who had their quota jacked up for the iPhone 4 launch only to have the ordering system…

@Seasonone: It's both. Of course Apple wants to sell you a new phone; they're a for profit company looking to make money. But they also have a strong history of focusing on user experience, and I'm sure there's a large amount of truth to the idea that the 3G and 2G (which have the same guts) aren't capable of…

1. If you have broadband, you likely have a wireless router. If you don't, they're cheap.

@rudyfrederic: My AT&T store is at 67% iPhone mix. That's 67% of all phones we sell, not just smartphones. While the people who read Gizmodo might want a highend Android device, AT&T isn't exactly hurting for sales without it.

@PotentChr0nic: Sense is actually great for the average consumer who doesn't care as much about the latest updates. It looks better and is easier to set up.

@Darkseider: The quarterly numbers speak a different story, and the amount of interest generated about the iPhone 4 indicates that AT&T won't be hurting this one either. People who read and post on tech sites tend to forget that they aren't the norm, and that the majority of users don't have the same needs and wants.

Nice of AT&T to man up about it and contact people instead of trying to hush it up.

@Dr. Evil Genius: When Skeletons Live: WiMax is a completely different network. Unless they're somehow damaging the EVDO panels while installing new ones, there wouldn't be any issues there. Especially with WiMax running such a high frequency. WiMax just has serious overload issues in some markets right now, kind…

@Cyb3r_Punk: Try buying a house :).

@Dr. Evil Genius: When Skeletons Live: Transtion from what to what?
