People would be fighting for unlocking laws like that in the US, if it actually mattered. The only providers that use SIM cards are T-Mobile and AT&T, and they use different 3G frequencies so most phones aren't (fully) compatible betwe

This is the missing piece for me. I still want to own the physical book, but I would love the convenience of being able to load a bunch of books on my Kindle and take it on a trip or something. Plus, think of the lock-in that the stores ar

People were invested in Myspace with updates, photos, page customizations, etc. Now they're all on Facebook. There's no reason to believe they won't move again if the right feature set comes along.

I love Google Reader! For Android users, I highly recommend D7 Reader - https://sites.google.com/site/d7reader/ It's quite a bit better than the official app.

This works great until 10 years down the road you pick up an old Mac at a thrift store and discover that the internet recovery for Lion has been ended and the newer OS's aren't supported by the hardware.

This might not have been so bad if the IPO had happened before Google+ premiered, when Facebook looked unstoppable.

APIs for third party apps. I already use Seesmic to watch my twitter and Facebook feeds, but with G+ I have to use another app.

The Shuttle fails in its primary objective, that of being a "reusable" vehicle. I attended a presentation by a NASA employee that explained the Shuttle process from landing to launch, and I was amazed at how much of the craft is replaced.

Maybe Apple could make FaceTime an open standard, like Steve stated they would when it was first introduced.

I would love a copy as well, if you don't mind.

If you lose the instructions then the odds are there are many other rules you're not following.

Well, every set I've ever had came with extras, and the number you're supposed to use is printed right there in the instructions.

The limitation on housing is the key to the game's structure. Most people don't seem to play it this way (letting players build hotels if they have the money, regardless of the number of actual plastic houses remaining), and it screws the

AppBrain works really well for this. You still have to do some clicking, but not nearly as much.

Flip built an interesting product, but it just doesn't offer anything anymore. I came close to buying one a number of times, but never pulled the trigger because it would have been another device to carry and I wasn't sure how much I'd real

Google should be fixing some of these accessibility issues themselves. As for the actual GMail client though... nothing prevents the user from using the third-party client of their choice, so nothing has really changed from before.

One concern I would have, with more people using iPads instead of computers, is the middle of the night "I dropped my iPad and now it won't turn on, how do I save my data?" call. Apple really needs to get on the ball with some sort of back

I think the author is referring to the "slide to unlock" explanation, with a reference to the infamous Win95 "Click here to Begin" that used to appear above the start button. I don't necessarily agree that it's a horrible design decision, b

The average speed trap doesn't affect traffic (unless you happen to be the person pulled over). DUI checkpoints often have miles of stopped cars waiting to go through.

AT&T is actually segmenting both, though. Non-smartphone $15 Smartphone $25 Smartphone + tethering $45

That depends on your definition of "can't." Technology-wise, yes, if the phone supports it. Terms of service-wise, no, but that's true of the smartphone plans also, they've just never enforced it before.

AT&T already does that; non-smartphone users still have an option for $15/mo unlimited data ($10/mo if on certain family plans)
