@JakeMG: Ω Man: It would be awesome if they used some kind of electro-sensitive polymer that changes shape depending on the charge applied. But I doubt that technology is quite there yet.

@BulletProofVess: Ah, I see. I personally don't consider that a good measure of actual use/implementation. To me "overwhelming percentage" means a strong majority (you can't really "overwhelm" unless you are the majority).

@BulletProofVess: What is this overwhelming percentage that jailbreaks their phones?

The way I understand this is, they patented their specific implementation of these features, they did not patent the concept.

@talkingstove: This means McDonald's could buy any corporation in the world! That is, if Kleenex doesn't get there first.

@EvanSei: People in the neighborhood called the police, and the driver probably didn't stop because he saw her lay down as he drove up.

@tankgirlrs: Chrome all day.

Get them out of my brain!

@Missus Dinnie Dorito.: I personally don't think the proposal is the big deal that everyone else apparently does. However, RIM just giving up security for each device, I think that is really crappy.

Haha, awesome. I love the garbled "Hey this is Dennis...." voice mail prompt.

@FriedPeeps: Agreed, I felt after I was done reading this that it was pretty much the exact opposite conclusion that it should have been.

So, Google is evil for a proposal, but RIM hands over the keys to the front door, so to speak, and it is "troubling"?

@pricklyplatypus: Maybe she is taking the shower to wash it off?

@satirical duck hat: If you're just looking at the picture then you wouldn't see the disclaimer... (couldn't resist)

@I dont try to start arguements, really I don't: Yes, that is exactly what I meant, I'm glad someone recognized it.

Wireless data (GSM, CDMA, LTE, etc.) transfer is subject to the laws of physics and to how much electromagnetic radiation we are going to blast at ourselves. As more and more content is available and used on wireless devices (not 802.11a/b/g/n/etc.) the amount of bandwidth in a certain area is going to be limited. …

@yayforjam: Right, services, such as Cable TV, OnDemand, Movie Channels, etc., that users already pay for and get over the same wire will be counted as separate and not public. The infrastructure used to handle the internet and these paid services is already the same, and it will continue to share the fiber. So the…

@Adam: Completely agree, I feel validated, ha ha.

@yayforjam: The something else is just like existing cable TV, FiOS, OnDemand, etc. They are stating those kinds of services should not degrade the public internet. They also want provisions in the policy that don't allow companies to use those services as workarounds from using the open internet.
