T-Mobile...nice

Their brilliant recommendation is to leave your phone at home if you don't want to get ripped-off for roaming charges. Evidentially turning off data on Google's phone actually doesn't. Nice.

Re: Canon patent victory could change the future of TV

Looks cool, CRT picture quality in a huge screen that isn't as susceptible to burn-in as plasma.

Unfortunately the 2 yr delay the patent suit caused may mean that SED TVs will never be produced:

 SED is a promising technology, but then again so is OLED and FED.

Still, the more, the merrier. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. Better.

Well actually just better colors, cheaper long term, less energy use, etc etc

All wins

 Try this instead...

Get rid of the '?nclick_check=1' at the end of the URL and it works fine...

 i guess what it will break down to is when is a good time for what will be a new and initally very expensive TV tech in an age of large LCD/Plasma HDTVs creaping under $1000.

Apple's Safari browser, which rose to 7.13% after starting the year with a 5.82% share.

Re: Firefox mkt share rising; IE's dropping

Firefox is my browser of choice. I have IE and Chrome. Chrome is fast and light on resources but it's like a beta in that everything doesn't work quite right.

IE I only use for stupid sites that demand it (Hello Netflix streaming, or Newegg checkout.... get with the program)

Other then that, it's Firefox 100%. Stable and powerful.

The downside of Firefox's growing base is that soon the full force of the Malware/script kiddie crowd will be turned on it just like IE.

Re: Firefox mkt share rising; IE's dropping

For some reason, I cannot login to Newegg's site properly unless I use IE.

I called to mention it, and they said they only support IE.

It's annoying, but there it is.

Re: Firefox mkt share rising; IE's dropping

Yeah. It's annoying. It's probably not even Firefox, but some weird glitch that I have. Anyway, to actually login to Newegg's site and buy anything I have to open IE to do it.
