Wow this deserves something like free subway for life.
Thank you #6. The majority of people on this forum don't seem to understand that although it may be a practical idea it is not the government's place to mandate such a standard.
Any lawsuit that sites google as a source should be thrown out by the judge.
This is getting ridiculous. Patents were meant to protect individuals/companies from others that want to profit off of all the time and money the company spends on R&D. Although it may or may not be the case in this instance, it's sad to see it being taken advantage of by companies that just want to make a quick buck. Nintendo has obviously spent a lot of money developing this product.
Standards are not made by committee but by the wide adoption of that standard by the manufactures and consumers. Draft-n seems to have done just that.
Two words: absentee ballot

"Although we find it quite astounding that cellphone use while operating a school/motor bus isn't already outlawed"

It always amazes me that people always turn to legislation to fix there problems rather than their own personal responsibility.
Here the Readyboost Q&A right from the people that developed it!

It's a very well designed feature but many people don't seem to know what it is for or how it works.

"I don't know if this crazy technology called a cell phone is really going to catch on. I mean come on if I want to make a call I just pull over and use a pay phone."
These lines arent for individual use. These are backbone lines to the internet which must be many times faster.

As to why Japan/Asia gets stuff first. Remember Japan or South Korea have a much smaller area and so Network upgrades whether they are internet or cellular are generally cheaper/easier to do.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
