I notice that the links in the story include, what appears to be, Gawker's Amazon Associates id. I believe some full disclosure is in order. To be fair, I don't think there's any bias in the story and this may well be added by Gawker's CMS without any of the writers knowing about it.

I'll be dreaming about a Red Dwarf/Farscape cross-over episode tonight. I just know it.

It's not just latency, but also jitter. If you do a ping test you'll see that both latency and jitter increase on wireless connections. The problem with jitter is that the normal performance issue created by packets not arriving in the same order as they were sent grows exponentially as jitter increases. In a…

Justin prefers not to write about himself in the third person.

I thought it looked familiar.

Nothing a little properly applied C4 can't handle.

I'd like to believe in Iron Browser, but frankly I'm more concerned that a browser offered up by a company I've never heard of with a pretty sketchy website is a honey pot than I am about any potential evil Google might do with my data.

Less blow, more smack.

The FTC, and governments in general, need to get it into their heads that the internet knows no borders. If some enforceable form of Do Not Track actually makes it into US law, anyone who really wants to track you will just contract out the tracking to some company in the Caymans (down the street from their bank).

Pre...mature. Pre...mium (price, not quality). Pre...posterous.

Enough already! Can everyone, I'm not just yelling at Apple here, stop patenting non-innovative ideas. Yes, the guy who invented the sandwich was clever, but the 10,000 others who patented the 3.25^17 possible ways to combine meat, cheese, condiments and bread? NO! They didn't invent a damned thing!

Planned obsolescence, redundant devices, and the craving to have the latest thing are the mother's milk of the gadget industry.

Come on guys! We all know that, even without internet access, as soon as you network two computers anywhere inside the dam, the Cylons will gain complete control.

@KamWrex: This is one of the statistics (as in damn lies and...) that Apple keeps getting away with. I don't doubt that Apple will have sold 150MM iPhones by the end of 2012, but that does not mean (as the chart is clearly intended to imply) that anywhere near that many will be in actual use.

Duuude...like my whole house, is like totally in 3D.

I pronounce it "slow news day."

This was bound to happen. I predict we'll see the same from Carbonite eventually. Both seem to have been operating on a business model that requires a large number of users who don't have huge quantities of data making up for those who do. This model won't last forever, as more and more 'normals' are storing GBs of…

Anyone who really needs it is free to use that AOL account I'm still paying for after 20 years.

@TareG: You're right, it's just not possible.
