    In reply to AT&T Comes in Last in Consumer Reports Study That Surprises No One
    Not surprising, but I am surprised Verizon is number 1 when I have had recurring paperweight status inducing errors to my phone (On 4th one) for the last 3 months, and when I went to verizon they told me NOT A SINGLE SOUL has suffered this error before (Though I brought printouts from their site of people reporting it, they refused to see them) and blamed me repeatedly for the error, refused to comp my bill any for the downtime their incompatibility with the phone THEY SELL caused.

    "We can replace your phone, but we'd need you to sign up for another two years and to move your upgrade date."

    "But, you broke my phone, that isn't fair. This is a amss defect and another one will do it as well."

    "We can replace your phone, but we'd need you to sign up for another two years and to move your upgrade date."

    "... I'm going with AT&T, they'll give me a refurbed iphone for 50$ and charge me less a month anyway."

    "..... uhhhhhhhh"

    I have to say some of the problems with the iphone, seem to be the PHONE.
    I have a jailbroken 2g running on tmobile, I used to have a blackberry pearl. From the day I got the iphone it started dropping calls, crap call quality etc. Problems I never had with the blackberry.
    Fortunately I use my phone more for text, internet and email because it pretty much sucks as a phone and unfortunately that isn't ALL att's fault.

    In reply to How to Quickly Convert a Wall Outlet Into a USB Charger
    As far as safety goes, I would suggest a slight adjustment of replacing the single outlet box with a dual where one side could be the two power outlets with your USB connectors on the second outlet side. A home inspector is not likely to have an issue with that since the items have plenty of room for safety.

    However, I would recommend even more highly just waiting a year until there are units pre-built for this purpose and sold at your neighborhood Home Depot. They already have HDMI plates for your wall, so USB is not far behind:

    That said - the concept is a great one.

    i am not certain sticking a charger in a wall is going to meet code in a lot of places. sort of like not being able to just run an extension cord through your walls. safety first and what not.

    In reply to Augmented Reality Twitter App Shows You Exactly Where Your Friends Are Tweeting
    The real question, though, is how many of your friends are including GPS data with their tweets? I mean, I suppose if you're on Twitter you're already pretty tech uninhibited, but location-aware-saturation hasn't yet reached the same level of comfort as information-saturation.

    I mean, it's no fault of the app. I'm just curious how many of the people I follow I'd actually find broadcasting the location of their tweet-dumps.

    @OCEntertainment: I think you'll see it quite a bit more as the tech behind it becomes more ubiquitous.

    Until a sorority girl is viciously and brutally raped and murdered after tweeting "omg totally drunk hopping in the shower."

    @Jux: Jux, you are just being paranoid about new technology. That won't happen.

    ....I don't care how good word prediction software gets, there is no chance that a drunk sorority girl is going to make it through that sentence without a single misspelled word.

    I have to say, I have always been 101% happy with my service from Verizon. I deal with AT&T at work, and that experience alone will keep me from having a personal account with them for anything ever. EVER.

    Yeah, this is dumb. What will he plug his non-usb powered things into now? Unless he has a usb-powered vacuum cleaner, or usb-powered fan. Then this guy's justified.

    T-Mobile usually roams on AT&T's network and yet they get second?

    Oh and don't ignore that fact that they clearly state under the scores "Differences in reader score of less than three points are not meaningful."
