    Kindle HD internet pricing?

    Thanks... that helps a lot. At $50 that would have been a good deal... but knowing it's a teaser rate I probably won't be interested. Any idea what rate they charge after 1 year?

    Kindle HD internet pricing?

    I am curious how this works exactly as I haven't been able to find a good answer. They claim to offer you AT&T 4G LTE service... "Get 250MB a month for 12 months with a one-time payment of $49.99". My question is what happens after the end of year 1? Can you renew again at the $49.99 price or...

    Zynga To Employees: Give Back Stocks or You're Fired

    But there's nothing preventing them from issuing the shares to "the other shareholders". They are free to issue additional shares to everyone except the certain individuals they want to snub.

    Zynga To Employees: Give Back Stocks or You're Fired

    Why don't the executives just issue more shares of stock and dilute the value of the rest shares outstanding? Are they really that dumb?

    U.S. Lagging in Broadband Adoption, Speed: FCC Report

    US is one of the most sprawled out nations. The UK and South Korea are small countries with lots of people crammed... which makes it easier and more cost effective to network everyone together.

    Tech Jobs Are Hot, More Jobs Moving Overseas

    We have onshore replacements now. Many people come over from India on H1B and L1 visas despite the rampant unemployment plaguing this nation. At the fortune 500 companies I've worked at the IT departments were 50%+ Indian contractors from companies like Tata, Wipro, Infosys, etc. The jobs of...

    Ten Years Ago On Tax Day

    These things were delicate flowers. If the heatsink managed to come off or wasn't properly mounted the CPU would fry in seconds. It had no thermal protection. Newer CPUs will throttle down the speed or shut off the processor if that happens. And as many stated the core was easily broken on...

    iPad2’s Used in School Pilot Program

    It was consumed by the teachers unions and administrators. Somehow people think that spending more money education always results into better educated students.

    Microsoft Buys 600k Internet Addresses

    IPV4 has ran out of addresses so this is probably ensuring they have addresses in the future if IPV6 takes a long time to become mainstream

    Best Earbud Speaker Invention Ever

    Uhm this is silly. There's a reason speakers have been engineered for decades to sizes much larger than earbuds... it's because speakers that small cannot displace enough air to have reasonable sound quality.

    Wealthy Suburbs Get Best Broadband Deals

    Not really valuable information since it only looks at the Washington DC area. The broadband may cost more due to regulations and agreements with cable companies especially since the "suburbs" of Washington DC are in states and different jurisdictions. Realistically inner-city internet...

    N.J. Still Fighting to Seize Gift Card Funds

    Of course it does... this legislation also applies to things like traveler's checks. These businesses will either have to create new administrative overhead to hand over the money to the government. Some of them will throw their hands up in the air and stop selling gift cards in New Jersey. And...

    N.J. Still Fighting to Seize Gift Card Funds

    This is hillarious how lawless government is becoming. What right do they have to decide to come in and take a third party's money? The sad thing is taxes were already paid on the money that was used to buy the gift certificate. This no different than the mafia ruffing up businesses for...
