So... Everyone that wants to violate their terms of service and risk termination, or unauthorized use charges are morons?

Maybe you want to risk that... but I certainly dont.

I dont agree with the companies plans or terms.. I think if you have data service on your phone at all. it should come in all flavors: mobile, tether, unlimited, and it should all be a single data charge.

But its pretty stupid to just call everyone a moron who doesn't want to violate their TOS.

But I guess everyone is not as smart as you are.. you must be the CEO of some awesome company making 500,000$ a year as your company contributes amazing solutions to our society...
15 dollars a day is expensive, but it should be unlimited.. i mean its 1 24 hour period... how much data could could possibly use?!?!?

Clear is going to kick the crap out of these idiot's wireless data.

I wish i lived in philly.
SELLOUT!!

haha jk..

she must have made some super cash. and its not like she was an Apple Executive, just a retail employee.

If MSFT wanted to pay me $$$$$$$$ to hand out zunes all they need to do is reply to this comment.

Im in NJ.
I agree with you to a certain extent.... The XcelaSAN has improved our write performance significantly. It allows us to write significantly more to the XcelaSAN then we could to our SAN and the XS sends the ack immediately. Then the XS keeps data in cache for reads, & offloads it to disk ASAP.

I would say there are overlapping areas where the XS would benefit instead of just getting a new array like this SUN box. And others where it wont help.. But the XS advantage is its much cheaper then getting a new array yet still yields a major performance boost in a large majority of cases.

It doesn't help us much for backups, but for most of our DBs and much of our other SAN data it helps immensely.
I understand. My point is that if you want high performance. you can get the XcelaSAN and NOT move your data off of your existing SAN. If you buy this Sun box, you will need to either replace your current SAN, or add this to your existing environment.

the XcelaSAN lets you Accelerate any LUN from your storage array you want, yet keep everything on your existing array.

If you have an EMC Clariion and buy this sun box for your oracle data, you have to move all your Oracle data over to the sun box. If you do this, all your replication and other things the EMC was doing, can no longer be done to the Oracle data.

If you instead get an XcelaSAN and connect it to your CX, you keep everything on your back end SAN, keep your replication etc... AND get a MAJOR performance boost.

they are different solutions to the same problem.
I'd like to point out Dataram's XcelaSAN.... That SCREAMS and while it might not be as fast as this new Sun thing it keeps all your data on your existing SAN, so all that replication, cloning and snap shots that you use your SAN for, stay working... I'm working for a company that is one of the beta sites for Dataram, and the thing ROCKS! Screw RAM SAN.
Microsoft needs to have a strict hardware guideline so they can focus on delivering a tighter and better overall experience. The Software takes a hit when they need to waste time including compatibility and accessibility features for every type of hardware out there.


And regardless of who says what, this is really why Apple can provide a very good overall experience. Obviously not everyone likes what Apple does, but hopfully Microsoft can pull of some solid competition.

The Xbox is a perfect example of how microsoft can succeed when they have 100% control over the hardware, and hopefully the ZUNE 2.0 will also show it.

any solid product from microsoft will force Apple to lower prices and/or add features, as well as show the rest of the market they need to start to provide solid products, not just crap.
Ultra weak. Thanks for the clarification. I guess sleep file sharing is my fav feature now.
"Multi-Touch gestures in
older Mac models.

All Mac notebooks with Multi-Touch trackpads now support three- and four-finger gestures."

This is MAJOR and no one even mentions it....
How about multi finger gestures for ALL macs?!?!?!?!


I think thats a MAJOR VALUE ADD!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
