From the article (last paragraph):

I'm not a fan of getting tattoos but at lease the Zune one looks kinda cool and doesn't specifically have a brand name across it.

Look - I'm just as tired as everyone over Apple suing for trivial items but Jesus Christ. I read a good chunk of these comments about "Apple patents shapes" and "the patent system is broken" and "I'm not buying Apple anymore" and I'm floored.

Fantastic news. This is (hopefully) another step in the direction of commoditization of carriers.

If you're running Adblock, try turning it off for *.gizmodo.com and see if that makes a difference. For some reason when I view giz w/ Adblock on it.... becomes.... very.... slow... and... almost.... unusable....

You're fine, they stop at the border.

Mother of god. I already have 100Mbps connection through Charter that has spoiled me. 3x faster would be amazing. I'd have to upgrade my NAS to even write that fast.

So this is how the 1% thins the herd, it all makes sense now.

People who are taking their PC to Geek Squad probably store all their passwords on a piece of paper anyways. Or in a word file sitting on their desktop called PASSWORDS.DOC

Yeah, No. Verizon would immediately tell their customers "SEE GUYS THIS IS WHY WE HAD TO KILL UNLIMITED DATA"

AT&T *will* follow suit.

At this point I'd be very surprised if iOS 6 AND 'The New iPhone' *aren't* announced at WWDC.

It works fine on my wife's Kindle Fire (CM7). That said however it's a phone optimized version of the software so the interface is a little too dumbed down for a tablet. I'm sure the tablet version for Android is right around the corner and hopefully matches the iPad version.

I'd have to argue that if you need to read a guide such as this to perform these actions - you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

You regret offering unlimited data but you don't regret betting $4 BILLION on a failed merger?

Amazon doesn't 'avoid' sales tax. They don't collect it. In most (all?) states the consumer is supposed to pay sales tax, whether it's at the time of purchase or later on all items. Amazon simply hasn't been collecting it and is starting too in several states because it's downright impossible to enforce collection…

Yes, Microsoft Licensing is located here in Reno, Nevada and a quick search online will show that they have 'avoided' plenty of tax by doing so. Washington state isn't happy about it but IMHO it's just smart business.

I'm pretty confident that it is and that the SGSIII may be one of the thinnest phones yet.

I'm taping almonds to my 4S and New iPad right now. Damnit if I only knew it was always this simple.

If you enjoy vodka straight - you shouldn't be doing this. Your $35 will buy you a decent bottle of Vodka (head over to Costco, Total Wine or BevMo for bang-for-the-buck)
