Hmm... I wonder if Exchange ActiveSync will be considered "web" or not since it basically uses HTTP or HTTPs to tunnel its protocol even though it isn't specifically mentioned in the article.

I sent an email off to VZW, lets see what they have to say.

Aren't these OEM Bios bypasses the very thing MSFT is supposedly killing in SP1?

Comcast New England definitely needs to get on the ball because Verizon FiOS TV service is rolling out rediculously fast here in the area. The FiOS multi-room DVRs are way better than what Comcast has to offer at this point.

3,087 CA homes / 63 Kohls stores = 49 CA Homes per Kohls store. It isn't out of the realm of reality that this is accurate. The massive heating/cooling/lighting of each store could be equivalent to 49 homes.

I just screen scraped this last night to get my contacts onto a Moto Q, it requires MS Excel (I used 2007).

Go to the "print all your contacts" list, open Excel, THEN highly the whole list about to be printed, right-click copy to clipboad, go to Excel and paste it. It may take a minute to format it and show up.

Once everything was in there I made a few column headers "Name, Cell 1, Cell 2, Work, Home, Fax, email". Then it was a matter a contact's name and their numbers in a row on one line. They'll probably show up originally with their name and Cell on one line, the work # on the line below cell, the home number on the line below work, email below that.

It took a while to clean it up, and to remove the little images next to the numbers (click on the image, hit delete). Then you'll probably see a bunch of cells that are merged with neighboring ones so they aren't the normal single cell Excel size. You have to clean these up too once you have the numbers all in the right places. Save the document as a comma delimited file.

Open Outlook and do a File --> Import. Map the fields from your spreadsheet to the proper Outlook fields, then import away! Once they are in Outlook you can use any of the various methods to sync them to your phone. I used Exchange ActiveSync so it all happened instantly over the air.

It took a while, but should be a one shot deal. I had 140 contacts and it took me about 30 minutes to do it all.

Ughhhhh. That isn't what I wanted to hear. :( While waiting for this I've been forcing myself not to turn in my busted up old VX7000 with cracked screen and falling out battery.

That was not Soundwave, that was Frenzy. Frenzy actually is one of Soundwave's cassette buddies in the original cartoons along with Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, Buzzsaw, and Ratbat. In the G1 cartoons Frenzy is more humanoid than whatever the heck you want to call him in this movie.

Soundwave was not in this movie because Michael Bay did not want any "mass-shifting" transformers. He felt it would cheapen up the movie to have something the size of a cassette deck transform into one of the biggest decepticons. This is just one of the reasons Megatron didn't turn into the normal generation one Walther P38. It is also the reason why Optimus Prime was a Peterbilt and not his original cab-over truck design. Bay wanted Prime to be the biggest Autobot and there were no big enough cab-over trucks to make him bigger than the other Autobots; thus the Peterbilt.

What irritated me was all of this was known before the movie, and then that damn Allspark cube shrunk from building size into a cute little 6" block.

What the hell, Bay, then why no Soundwave!? I'll take the shifting Allspark and the existance of Frenzy as hope that Soundwave is not dead and may appear in the next film. Maybe he'll be (like usual) ratting out Starscream for trying to take over Megatron's leadership position or something.

In 2005 my girlfriend's Powerbook G3 did the same thing, but right at the plug end that goes into the laptop itself. It was kind of freaky, smoke and sparks everywhere. The insulation had apparently pulled back and the wires shorted out from bending around for a couple years.

I'm a little shocked at the 200 messages. For a phone they are touting has having such a great keyboard interface, you'd think they would want people to text more. Maybe that is where AT&T hopes to make their money, with people going over 200.
