    I'm a big fan of Nokia & hope they can save their sinking ship (this would make for a sweet hackintosh) but $600 for a netbook is way tooooo much.

    And the subsidized option isn't much better....

    Geez. I just Googled "bong air filter." Nothing like Rothman's (again) patentable idea, but I did discover the kids are putting HEPA filters in their bongs these days. Psh. They're missing all the good stuff. #gizmodoremainders

    That battery juice is awesome.

    Looks way to much like the stuff that people were kept in in the matrix though.

    Kinda looks a little like the liquid O2 in The Abyss too. Wonder if I can breath it? #gizmodoremainders

    @macpatrik: I googled around for a bit on it.

    Sounds impressive if they get around the costs. The goal is 11x the energy density of Li-ion for 1/3rd the cost. #gizmodoremainders

    @tande04: Sounds interesting. I'm too lazy to "google around" but I just don't get why they want to make it a liquid. Why not invest in ways to improve our current shitty batteries and their shitty battery lives. #gizmodoremainders

    @macpatrik: I think the liquid part is just how the battery is made. They're not going to add more liquid to charge the battery or anything like that. Just like you don't add more lithium to charge your laptop battery.

    It is the way to improve our shitty batteries' lives. Just like Li-ion is the step up from Ni-Cad, you have to change the material sometimes at the base of the battery to really improve the shitty batteries #gizmodoremainders

    I had it and dropped it.....our coverage of either network is spotty at best, and it wouldn't work at my desk at work, so I couldn't watch ESPN when the boss wasn't around.

    But for 10 bucks a month it is getting better. #flotv

    "The nation's fastest 3G network" - theoretically. Look, AT&T. Just because your HSPA network can THEORETICALLY get up to 3.2 Mbps doesn't mean it actually is achieved.

    If you look at the results from user-supplied testing at Boy Genius Report, [www.boygeniusreport.com] - it clearly shows that Sprint EvDO, at 1361 Kbps, is faster than the user-supplied results for AT&T, at 933 Kbps.

    The sad thing is this, in regards to their 3G coverage: I live close enough that I can pick up BOTH Telus and Bell Mobility HSPA+ 21Mbps towers on my device but get stuck on AT&T EDGE otherwise. #attinternalmemo

    A frivolouts lawsuit isn't one you disagree with. AT&T has the prerogative to utilize the court system to address issues like these. The truth is that while most of us wouldn't be confused by a 3G comparison map, most of the population definitely will.

    We should be glad that companies and courts work against misleading advertising, or does everyone here enjoy that aspect of our free market? #attinternalmemo

    @crackel: Actually the money spent on lawyers and lawsuits would better be spent on upgrading their crappy network, hiring competent friendly staff and finding ways to lower the users price against competition.

    As for "misleading advertising", you cannot accurately figure who would and would not be confused based on speculation. I have yet to see a statistic that this led to misinformation to the greater public of consumers who had switched due to the campaign. So this lawsuit is based on conjecture. #attinternalmemo

    @Mr_Nowitt: you have a point. There is no statistic for AT&T to prove this was misleading, and it will be their burden to do so. I speak solely on the merit of my observation, having met thousands of people throughout my professional life and realizing that they wouldn't know the difference between 3g, 2g, edge, data, or even cell technology.

    Can you honestly tell me you believe Verizon didn't spin this just enough to confuse some people but not give AT&T the ammo to sue? I've worked at several blue chip companies and believe me, they'll do anything they can get away with.

    I don't appreciate the misuse of courts, but it's nice to see an oligopoly compete, even if it's not (yet) in price. Txt message rate hikes did not come from a fight but implicit collusion.

    When courts stop being the right place to fight, we'll see better competition. Which is why even though I defend AT&T's right to sue, I hope they lose. #attinternalmemo

    In-car satellite TV never made sense - why waste $1300 and $20-30 a month on something you ever only use at most 30-40 minutes a day - and then only on maybe one or two days a month?

    The driver doesn't benefit from the system - they can't watch the TV either way and there's no programming FOR adults (it's all cartoons - and crappy ones at that).

    Only way in-vehicle satellite TV works is if you're going cross-country in an RV. And then I'd just stick with a prepaid DishNow system or else just use free-to-air (and accompanying hacks to get onto Dish). Or if I were smart, I'd stray towards RV parks with free WiFi and just Hulu all the shows I want to see when traveling. #gizmodoremainders
