Telus kicks off HSPA+ network with iPhone November 5th, HTC Hero, LG New Chocolate and more to follow {Engadget}

Actually I don't. At least not for data. Oh and _I_ NEED a cellphone - I don't have a land-line and I don't want to get one because I'm hardly ever at home, and since I'm also not one of those people who wear a tinfoil hat and hide in the woods to keep themselves off the grid, I use my cellphone to keep in touch with my friends and my family. And if you think that in today's world nobody needs a cellphone then please stay in the 80s and don't bother me here in 2009.
@IvanP91:
It's a fair argument, but it does have a tiny flaw - it's called "reality". Because despite everything you just said, somehow Telus is still pricing the iphone same as Rogers. They've got pretty much the same data plans and of course they still require the $35 setup fee and the monthly access fee. When those start changing then you can tell me that there's competition.
Motorola DROID first hands-on! (update: video, impressions, more pics) {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2009 12:33AM This definitely looks great. I don't like that bronze center of the d-pad - it's completely out of place.
Congrats, citizens of Mozilla! Firefox population surpasses that of the United States {Download Squad}
Oct 27th 2009 11:38PM @kojo87: Why not? Apple certainly counts every single app downloads, whether it's an update, a fresh download, or a re-download, towards its 2 billion, or whatever it is now, number? Not to mention that every fart, flashlight, pic-of-the-day "app" counts towards the total they so proudly advertise.
I apologize for the rant, but I do think that it's really not so much the number itself but rather what it symbolizes, which is "a crapload of Firefox users out there", as it was eloquently put by Mr. Mathews :)
It would be interesting to see (if anyone were to keep track, and I'm sure somebody will) of how Microsoft's new "browser ballot" screen for the EU version of Win7 will affect the browser landscape.

Oct 26th 2009 10:31PM Monthly access fees should be #%$!&! outlawed! It's highway robbery, plain and simple. Ditto on the $35 setup fee - they're charging us $50+ bucks a month for 3(!) years and they can't waive a measly $35. How is this legal?!?!

Oct 26th 2009 10:27PM Why would they want to do that? They're making a pretty penny as it is. Lowering prices will just hurt their profit margins. Or were under the mistaken impression they care about their customers?

Oct 26th 2009 10:24PM What competition?!? There ain't gonna be no competition, just like there hasn't been any competition for the last several years. Nothing has changed. Both companies will keep screwing us over with overpriced plans and 3-year contracts.
Dell and Envision Solar refashion parking lot into clean energy farm, EV recharge station (video) {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2009 6:51AM @Light Speed: It's also hilarious how thousands of parking lots around the US and Canada, and millions around the world, are a waste of perfectly good space, when they could be used for at least something positive. Oh and of course lest we forget the pure comedic genius of us killing the planet we live on, it's so funny I could cry.
Samsung's 40-inch LCD is world's thinnest at 3.9-mm, attracts magic pencils {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2009 6:42AM To extent of course. Thinness usually translates into lightness, which makes it easier to hang on a wall. Ultimately it probably also means cheaper TVs, since while for now the manufacturing process is more expensive, once it becomes commonplace it will come down to using less raw materials for thinner TVs.

Oct 23rd 2009 11:13PM Loved the Balmer interview. Also, in general I love your discussions and their whole free-form nature, but you gotta stop talking over each other so much, sometimes I can't understand what either of you are saying because it just becomes one great cacophony. It's much easier when you're part of the conversation and especially when you know the other people well and their speech patterns, but for an outsider, it's hard to listen to two people talk at once, let alone three, some of whom, on top of that, are trying to out yell each other.
