@SnowSoul: I would argue that it IS the governments duty to make sure we have a modern communications infrastructure as it is tied to national security. Lord knows the ISPs would rather sit back and earn as much profit as possible off their existing infrastructure. The general lack of competition by having the phone…

I'll stick with Flashblock until it hits the main builds. I like having flash completely off unless I click to allow it and will automagically load html5 content if available. Makes Chrome even faster and it's a night and day difference with Safari.
@SnowSoul: The options in 2011 shouldn't be worse than 2005. Build up the supply side to keep up with demand
@SnowSoul: The problem with that argument is how many providers does an area have? Let's say your cable provider makes their plan 16 Mbps with a cap of 40gb and you normally used 80 gb a month back when they sold you the unlimited plan. Your only other option in the area is the phone company which is offering 7 Mbps…
@funkonaut: So you want the ISPs to bully other businesses and consumers? Reminder it's the ISP that failed to keep up with demand despite selling the product every which way they can.
@KamWrex: Wrong kind of tiers. Think back to the cell phone analogy: 400 minutes vs 600 minutes vs 800 minutes. Now replace the minutes with data, say 20 gb a month or 40 gb a month, etc
@tavojimenez: It's the jersey shore. You get used to them. Kinda like the flys.
If I google my name + home town, I get nothing but articles about Chris Hansen catching predators in my area.
Would like to add that there is potential for World of Goo on the iPad this week. It was submitted last week.
Borderlands clearly doesn't have enough stars next to it.
No amount of savings, ever, could make me want to wake up at 3 am to go shopping with crowds that are reaching or that are already at critical mass. Oh I can get a Nook for $99? Yeah I'll spend the extra cash and order it online. $90 DS lite? I'll buy one of the numerous used ones flooding eBay since the anouncement…
I bought two 2TB hard drives from Newegg for $69.99 each and MobileMe for $44 from Amazon. Black Friday shopping is already complete.
My boxee box is also a full Linux pc, cost under $200, plays games, and is alittle more streamlined in my home theater setup. If only flash worked properly on the ion outside of windows...
@shmynchronicity: Well said.
@shmynchronicity: My point is he was a terrorist that didn't fit the mold of "brown guy with accent". If you focus on skin color, you ignore the possiblity of terrorist that might look like the average all American Joe. It has nothing to do with a ban on hands and maps. It has to do with the reality of security…
@feelsgoodman: Yes. I have the first gen AppleTV and I bought the second gen for my parents. I only have photos on the 40 gb hard drive since I would never be able to store my library which sits on a 2tb hard drive. I've been streaming since day one. And the 2nd gen has had that ability as well. Only thing new is…
@Traveshamockery: go read some comments on redstate or other rightwing websites. There were people talking like he was a martyr for the anti tax cause. If I said it in a conversation in person I would have air quoted so hard right when I said hero.
@JAlexoid: Excuse me, I meant to say a bunch of tiles placed in a little drawer. And the icons littered on the home screen. The only real difference is the widgets. Outside of that they look (not perform) identical.
@TheCrudMan: I use ooTunes, which can handle DRM video streaming as well.
