1. Comment - T-Mobile is the last of the big four to hike SMS to 20 cents

   (Jul 1, 2008 - 5:03 PM)

   That's just insane. I read a while back when the average price of text was $0.10, it yielded a profit margin of around 90%. Double that, crazy.

2. Comment - Google Opens Gmail Signups Further

   Thats odd. When you go to the sign up page, you still have to recieve a text message in order to sign up. When you click on the FAQ 'Can I sign up without the invitation code? Or without a mobile phone?', the documentation states that you can only get an account through SMS or a friend (invite). And the updated date on the page is today.

3. Comment - Handful of Vista Hotfixes Available

   (Feb 2, 2007 - 10:53 AM)

   Honestly, I upgraded my Media Center to Vista Ultimate and I only had to find one driver after the installation was done and that was for a Logitech Quick Camera. In the past when I did a XP reload I had to run 4 or 5 installation disks for all my drivers. Sounds to me like a step in the right direction.
   
   Everyone rips on Vista, but my proformance is the same if not improved with the upgrade. Applications seem to load quicker, the image rendering engine has been greatly enhanced. Granted I am running 2 gb of memory. If you run a system on 512 mb of RAM, you probably aren't going to see an increase in speed.
   
   You have to expect that there are going to be bugs to fix. But thats why Microsoft has given you options. Didn't they just extend their support date for XP?
   
   Just my two cents...

4. Comment - Free T-Mobile Hotspot for Vista Users

   (Jan 25, 2007 - 9:34 PM)

   Maybe we should all put down our computers and learn to read.
   
   The first sentence of the article reads, "...Microsoft said Wednesday that for 90 days after the debut of the next-generation operating system, customers would be able to use T-Mobile Hotspot Wi-Fi for free on laptops running Vista."
   
   90 days is unfortunately only 1/4 (.25) of a year. Making it a grand total of $90 savings.
   
   Either way it's a great marketing scheme, having people sit around coffee shops showing off Microsoft's new operating system. I can just see the conversation now...
   
   Dork 1: Is that an Apple?
   Dork 2: No, it's a Dell with Windows VistA.
   Dork 1: Wow, the edges of the windows are transparent?
   Dork 2: Yeah...
