Given available technology and the always-on nature of cell phones I'd be more surprised if stores weren't doing this. And apart from knowing if you're hoisting a bra strap or scratching your ass, as mentioned in the article this is no more info than you give online retailers.

The stores will probably argue you get cheaper prices.

Well this just proves my point. Just like hiring a plumber there are those that are worth the money and those that aren't. Companies that provide poor customer service soon find they have no customers to service. Companies that provide free software, well... how do they measure their success? 1,000,000,000 downloads?…

Isn't your screen name the name of a proprietary laxative? Or is that deliberate?

Standalone app - podkicker but it's not free but it's the best. However, inside the zplayer music player is an excellent visually as well as functionally podcast player.

This is exactly what I meant. Thanks!

And your closest friends too :)

How about a pro-life/pro-choice flame war? This is one subject no one doesn't have a view on and you cannot ever tell, even your closet friends, which way they'll go.

Yes, some free programs are only free of monetary cost and aren't free in other ways such as chrome which costs nothing but sucks your data like the portapotty truck sucks s**t.

A big difference between paid and free is what happens when it goes wrong. Can you pick up the phone and speak to someone who can fix your problem? If the software is essential for your work then you're losing money if the best you can do is "email the developer" and wait for a reply.

Well I would have to wonder why he was giving away his services for free. There are several reasons. He's already paid by someone to do that. He's doing freebies to attract paying clients. He's just inept and can't charge for his services but hopes people are kind enough to pity him and feed him. He just wants to get…

The philosophy behind the creation of software doesn't really impact whether it's fit for the task or not in the same way that free doesn't imply better. If I had to choose between a plumber who charged to repair my overflowing toilet and one who did it for free I'd go with the paid option. Just because Microsoft…

What's the correct pronunciation of sugru? I read it to myself as soogroo - I don't think I've ever had to say the word to anyone, but the guy on the TV just said shugroo.

"but there's no easy way to do this from the keyboard (that we know of)"

No... I wasn't gainsaying you. I read the same thing. What I can't understand is how AT&T etc can think that would work.

Or you can forget trying to make something out of your name for your domain and just go for a fantasy label, pretty much like the usernames of guys on here for example. Make sure it's eye-catching and not offensive or unpleasant sounding for example don't use stalephish (one of the contributors to this post and no…

Another offering that isn't the one we all want to see. I want to pay for what I use. Just like when I do the grocery shopping Publix don't make me buy 8 lemons when I only want two; why should I buy minutes/text/data that I probably won't use. It's like in the olden days last century when cell phone providers charged…

Surely at the 20 month mark, and increasingly through the following four months, some customers will swallow the by now minimal, and continually decreasing early termination fee and jump ship. That has to be a concern. I'm betting you can "persuade" your cell phone provider to renew at 20 months with a new phone even…
