Not sure where in Denver you live/work, Josh, and thus make most of your calls, but I live/work in downtown Denver and drop a call at least 2-3 times a week. I work right next door (a few floors up) from the AT&T store on the 16th St mall and have not had a call go through from my office EVER. It rings maybe 40% of the time. I would agree that in some parts of the city it is better, but the fact that downtown of a major US city still has black holes of service is unacceptable. There issue seems to be their focus is speed (which is great) but not as focused on reliability. Speed doesn't do much if you can't connect in the first place. On a side note, I can download and surf from my phone in my office, but can't make calls. Not sure why that is.
I just got the same error. My phone has never been jailbroken.

No cool.
I would agree. Apple loves taking their products to the next level but then, for whatever reason, make one thing that is worse than the cheapest version of the product. The iPhone, which I think is far and away the best phone on the market, still can't get media messages where my old $15 phone could. Now, they have clearly set a new bar for laptops, but in performance and looks, but force you into a screen that could be a deal breaker (say a office with a wall of windows behind the desk). Even some of the cheapest laptops give you the option of gloss or matte finish.

Not sure why Steve does this...maybe he thinks that way people will buy them more often when they fix that one thing, only to create a new 'one' thing that will force them to eventually upgrade again.
I love the American stereotyping going on....clearly all people in America are fat and lazy. Oh, and about the half of the world eating rice, America is well aware, we are the ones giving the most funding to feed these people, while the rest of the world yells and throws their hands in the air about the rich Americans not doing enough. Open your wallet and make a different. No wait...making stereotypical comments makes you sounds so smart...just to that.
Happy Birthday! Now, please pick me...I need a vacation BAD!
Wow, another birthday without getting arrested! Nice!

So based on your numbers, you are willing to spend $900M on a coal powered plant but not $875M on a project that produces the same amount of power but does not put any pollutants into the air? I am confused. If your agruement was cost, which as a taxpayer, you have every right to make, then why would you not want to save $25M AND be on the front edge of what could really be the new way of powering our cities?

Coal to run this plant would cost around $16M annually. 20 years of coal = around $330M sans inflation. 20 years is a very optimistic lifespan on a solar panel. I'm just saying there are better ways to spend $870M if you truly want to find alternative energy sources.

This seems like marketing to me.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
