And also it has to do with to surfeit of older networks already deployed. Since the US was early to the cell phone game in general the companies here tend to hold on to deployed networks as long as possible to milk every single dime out of them.
Also, since there is an abundance of land line infrastructure in the US compared to other countries, for a long time it was much cheaper and simpler to get a land line. In other countries were the infastructure wasn't available, it was a lot easier to deploy cell towers using the most recent technology. With that happening, most people stated going wireless exclusively in other countries, and when companies aren't subsidizing phones they have to compete by offering the best and fastest service.
Here we go again.... Why don't we sue the car manufacturers when someone purposefully runs another person with a car? Or sue the Bic if another person stabs someone in the eye with a pen? The list can go on and on, but ultimately it is the person who uses the product that should be the scrutiny of a lawsuit or investigation, not the manufacturer of the product.
With that logic, we should sue McDonald's since they are obviously trying to kill people with their food by making the obese.
And don't forget the Rolleicords. They were the cheaper end of Rollei's line, but still very solid camera's. I have one that was made at the end of WWII and it still takes great pictures.
Nothing beats developing shots from 120 film. The resolution you get when you enlarge or even scan the film into your digital workflow is amazing.
And Canon's EF mount has been around for decades. They only just came out within the last 5 years with the EF-S mount, and even those cameras that use that one are all backwards compatible with EF mount lenses.
And as far as IS built in the camera vs lens, that's a debate that's been going on since the two technologies were introduced. There are a lot of benefits to built-in IS in the camera, but performance has been excellent with the IS is built into the lens. Both work well, so nitpicking aside, it comes down to personal preference.
This is rather strange. I keep hearing about Media Center and some cable STB's encountering this, but I've yet to run into this problem on my Series 2 and HD Tivos. Maybe Tivo turned off support for it when the ruling was made?
Either way, I think this is just a case of someone forgetting to turn something off in the code. I wonder if this problem started shortly after an Automatic Update?
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
