The span of technological growth that JCD chronicled is hard to match. His body of work is a singular thread to the early days of personal computing all the way through commercialization of the internet and up to artificial intelligence. On

No word on their site, just a tweet from @pulsepad that indicates that they are back with a link to the App Store. I'm glad it's back - I didn't get to grab it this morning and just got it.

Absolutely. The article glosses over the other security features that are required to create a card number that would pass the extensive authorization process in the card networks. The information in the article is already in the public dom

Rental period is similar to iTunes, but distribution model targets Redbox (kiosks will eventually be in other retail stores). I wonder how long it will take someone to break their DRM?

Another friend had to use an external GPS antenna to get it to lock appropriately, so I'm not surprised that you had to put it by the window. I would say this is common in multi-tenant buildings, especially concrete ones.

Great review. I have wanted one of these ever since a friend at AT&T shared details about them almost two years ago. I have a mostly stone house with plaster interior walls that is essentially a Faraday cage to wireless devices. I'm jus

You are totally right about the pervasive attitude throughout corporate IT organizations. The only point I would question is the "..willing to lose their jobs.." part. Most corporate IT orgs have their story so well prepared to deflect blam

This is a ten month old article and comments that robustly argued both sides of the situation. How is this news, let alone hacker news?

Yes I would. While I recognize that a pay for access methodology won't cure all of the ills of the virtual world, like a padlock on a door, it will serve as a deterrent to casual ne'er do wells.
