As I read this article, my there year old looks at my from the tub and says "Daddy, I want to watch videos on your phone."

People often underestimate the emotional benefit of just not having stuff. If the stuff in your life doesn't contribute the the purpose of your life, why is it there?

@Reed Simpson: DD-WRT is easier than you'd expect. I've flashed two WRT54Gs and set one for Client Bridge for my XBox. Repeater Bridge here: [www.dd-wrt.com]

@Bigbadbikernerd: My Skype still forces me to turn off the WiFi to make calls. 3G only doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I guess Verizon wants you to max out your (upcoming) limited data plan so they can charge you.

@sigurrosuntitled: I stopped trying to make it work on my Toshiba U200.

@bulljargon: I thought that a full discharge/recharge cycle is only recommended for Ni-Cad batteries. Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries are free from this requirement.

@Dayvan Cowboy: Agree. Why do we always think the aliens are benevolent? Maybe they just didn't want to get shot at.

@anniekate76: Regional and Language Settings, in your Control Panel will change the default formats.

@Adam Pash: Thanks.

This works well for Word too. So you can change the default font to Comic Sans!

@Chrispy Fried: My bank wouldn't let me deposit a Verizon $100 rebate card. So I just payed my cellphone bill with it.

@Kamatari +: Find something that you like doing and just do it; worry about making money later.

@daqman: The red ones seem to work well also, provided you have the right papers as well.

My Incredible has HTC Sense. I don't really mind it, but I don't get why they don't make it an app like LauncherPro. Then I could uninstall it and just use the bone-stock or another launcher. HTC would also get some meaningful feedback on their product. If Sense didn't play nice with froyo, ok cool, I'll just turn it…

@PropertyofSallieMae: create a massive botnet to later use in a DOS attack on twitter in the middle of Iran's election? Harness someone's machine for some fistributed computing? That's how you get 7 proxies?

I've been anxiously awaiting my update for three weeks. Haven't seen it yet.

@jlrx: That's the truth. We can't even use USB Drives, and kotaku, google docs, and collegehumor are all blocked.

@Aeno: I always laugh when I get the trojan-installer popup that says "Scanning C: for viruses." After all I don't have a C: drive.

@jlrx: Do you work for Apple?

@TanyaRei: Agree. In my opinion, the argument- "Well it's too expensive to keep these guys here in prison; let's just kill them instead." Doesn't really hold up too well.
