If I'm going to be paying for a 25mbps data connection, I expect to make use of it. It'd be one thing if the caps were 50GB, 100 GB, and 250GB, but this is insane. I can blow through 2GB of data with less than three Ubuntu downloads.

Is it too much for a company to put out a tegra- 2 based LTE phone? My Treo 650 was a brick, and that sucked because the phone was slow. I could put up with a huge 1 inch thick phone if it had crazy specs and a battery.

Additionally, it's highly traceable.

I support it, but I also want to have some sort of alternative to it in case the market collapses. Also, it's very convenient for small online transactions.

Supposedly, because it's not tied to any particular government, it should be more stable than other currencies. Right now, it's been hovering around $17 to the bitcoin for the past few days.

It's far less sinister than you make it sound. I've bought ramen noodles, a graphics card, and a Zune with bitcoins.

Cracking implies piracy though. I'd be inclined to call it hardware unlocking.

Believe it or not, there Linux enthusiasts. What allows them to thrive allows piracy to occur as a side effect.

Haters gonna hate.

But what if it's a matter of leaving your front door unlocked in the middle of a bad neighborhood in NYC? When, not if, you get robbed, it will partially be your fault for failing to properly secure your property. The victims here are not faultless. A corporate network should be bulletproof.

To the contrary, my friend: The goal here is to publicly humiliate organizations with lax security. When an anonymous internet group is able to steal your company's spotlight while mocking you, it sends a clear message: Lock your stuff down.

And organ rejection isn't an issue here?

I did include the sarcasm tag... I was referring to the possibility that the phone would be hacked because Sony can't secure stuff.

But it doesn't create platform lock-in for Apple, so it is inherently evil. Sadly, I feel that this has a good chance of replacing SMS, despite the fact that it is VERY anti-competitive.

Does it come with a properly secured bootloader, or do I need to avoid Sony for that? I'm afraid of someone installing Cyanogenmod without my permission.

Won't someone think of the SSD users? I usually run about 15GB of free space on my 128GB SSD, but I can't imagine what our brethren on the 11" MacBook Air have to put up with with Lion...

>_>

Does anyone here have experience with running Linux on the unibody-generation MacBook Pros/the 2010 Air? I've been having a rough time getting decent trackpad support, and it's driving me crazy.

I'm losing the ability to reinstall the app, which is something I paid for.

Apple didn't either, but it made it impossible to reinstall the stuff. I'm on an AT&T device with sideloading disabled, so I can't reinstall these apps. =/
