Just got a text form Telefonica Movistar here in Spain saying that 3.0 is available now... Obviously they were wrong. They really suck.
Spain down... and I'm pretty sure all others..
sorry, its 25 euros a year not a month...
Listen... We have this in barcelona for over a year and there are already over 1 MILLION users!

The system is not perfect, you do run into problems sometimes when you want to pick up a bike in a less popular destination, but drop off is not usually a problem.

The system is actually developed and maintained by ClearChannel an american company. I believe part of the concept of their system is that they could use the bike as moving add space. This would subsidize the system for the end user, but they just dont do it here cause transit authority is the one paying for the system. You pay 25 euros a month and get an RFID card. No credit card, which makes the system less vulnerable against theft. They have all your bank info and ID number... so you will get billed 100 euros for "loosing" your bike.

I choose it over having my own bike, cause when I get where im going i dont have to worry about where to leave my bike or if it gets vandalized. The cost is so low having my own bike just feels dumb compared to it.

I dont worry about homeless people using them as toilet paper, maybe because we dont have many homeless here (its called democratic socialism, you should try it sometime! SF is ruled by tramps for f**k sake!)

Its not just about speed and money though. I much rather cycle than ride the subway.
I thought of it and than saw someone already entered it, but that doesn't bother me, just means im not the only one thinking it's a good name:

SurfBook

All the way... its not demeaning and states the purpose quite well.
looks real to me. Specially the black glossy band around the screen, very much like the imac. iPod Pro? I think a tablet running the touch/iphone OS might be a good guess by Ian...
You britts think youre getting shafted? Eurozone is paying 19.99 for this beauty, thats 29 dollars baby! 50% more then the US. And you know why? because they can. You know what I think? Youll pry this jailbroken and iphone app enabled touch from my cold dead hands!
I have it too... but the problem is that whne i leave in british pounds sterling, next time i go to use it will be set to brazillian real or breunei dollar (directly above or below pounds)... which is weird.
Hi there, I got a question for next week:

Is there any way to share widgets created using safari's web clip widget creator? Maybe importing it into dashboard and editing it? I created a widget I would love to share somewhere but i dont know how! Thank you!
Actually, i foudn that the "international english" version is ready for shipping in 8 days. Maybe its just a weird apple.es thing, but im getting mine in 7 days suckers! (since i ordered yesterday!)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
