    That Japanese engineer is correct, the pylons were undersized. But even worse, they had no steel rebar in them. They were just concrete. If they had rebar in them, you would see the bars stringing out of the pylon.
    It's too bad that one guy lost his life to this stupidity but just imagine how bad it would have been if people had moved into the building.

    In reply to Sprint to Require WiFi on All Future Phones We Care About
    Definitely a deal breaker if a smart phone doesn't have wifi for me. I live in the middle of Iowa so 3g coverage is pretty dismal no matter what carrier I choose. But, I am also covered in wifi in 95% of the places I go. For me it is a necessity or I might as well not buy a smart phone.

    WiFi is not a dealbreaker for me, but I for sure would be a happier camper if it had it.

    Wifi should DEFINITELY be included on anything wanting to be considered a smartphone. I don't understand why it wouldn't be.




    No Wifi? That's a dealbreaker, ladies.

    Is WiFi a dealbreaker? God yes. I have to have WiFi - my iPhone hops on my home network at home, my work network in the office, and my friend's/families network when hanging out at their houses, etc. 3G can't touch a WiFi connection.

    I couldn't fathom surfing the web on the toilet without WiFi. ;^p

    Eh... it eats up my batteries if I leave it on, and when I lack a connection I'm normally just in the middle of a field, where wifi wouldn't help. If I'm indoors, I probably have a laptop or desktop available to make better use of wifi. It's not a deal breaker, but it's nice to have.

    …we're glad to hear a major player is embracing it for the foreseeable future.
    I hate to say it—I actually like Sprint—but it doesn't seem to me that they will continue to be a "major player" for any foreseeable future. Sprint = The Good Guys of wireless providers

    Definitely a deal breaker on smart phones. And just good business sense for them as a provider. One more person using WiFi equals one less burden on the network.

    Can we generate some bad press about Verizon wiping the existing OS on every phone and replacing it with theirs?

    Seriously? Verizon wasnt going to allow existing customers to upgrade to its newest and sexiest blackberry in some time? Even if they can afford the fees?

    Hey if they do this every time they're called on pulling a dick move then start bitching more about "unlimited" data plans with a 5GB cap!


    Just call it what it is: a limited data plan.
