I'm really excited for Google Voice. I'm all for net neutrality, but I'm worried about the consequences that may end up with services like sex chat lines in the same clouds as my numbers.

We all need to set up pirate radio stations so the FCC can get back to their "real" job. We might as well take over the airwaves while the FCC is taking over the software industry.
@Monty: Pirate radio is awesome, none of that whiny commercial shit. Besides, everyone knows that pirate radio just moved to the internet, hence why the RIAA is accusing ALL internet radio of being pirate radio.
@ddhboy: I ran a pirate radio station for ten years, and it was so wonderful to be able to talk about what was happening in the community and play a true variety of material. Who is to say you cannot have Vivaldi and Nirvana play back to back? Why there would even be a concern of a 15 watt station on a blank frequency is beyond me, but those folks at the FCC sure know how to do their job - whatever that "job" is. God bless 'em.
The $12 Mr Coffee from Walmart has lasted 3 years at work, making 36 cups a day. It has an on/off switch, that is it....when it dies, we will replace it, with one that invariably be priced $11.50
My cheapo coffee maker generally had a timer so it'll turn on and have me a fresh pot brewed just before my alarm goes off. So long as I have to do all of the other prep work to actually enable its coffee sorcery, voice commands are stoopid.
@Sticks Calhoun: It looks like it is tea, actually, which could explain the lack of understanding of the whole coffee concept. Or perhaps it really is just a clock that is shaped like a coffee maker?
This is bad PR for sure, but unless Apple starts to remotely delete applications from people's iPhones, it seems a little strange that they should be expected to give refunds just because there currently is no way for developers to provide updates. I can't exactly defend Apple's initial decision on the Google Voice matter, but caveat emptor, right?
I'd really like to see Google start an ad-campaign for Google Voice that shows all of it's features and how awesome it is, then goes on to say that 'there isn't an app for that' and to point everyone towards an android phone.
I would love to hear the call that apple would make to Google saying that they have to take down the commercial after they re-approve the app.
@whoster69: Both of them are corporations. they're both pretty evil in that respect. MS have kinda reached a platue. There's not many new companies to carry out the 3 E's on, so last few years the most evil they could do was release Vista. Nowdays they comply with gov'ts, get friendly with Linux, actually making IE better. There all soft n cuddly by comparison. Which now means Apple is getting themselves in the spotlight. And they are making a bit too many wrong moves. They charge for removing the DRM they put on your music in the first place, Their App store has some rather flexible rules(in their favour), and their software 'updates' include other software.

Glad I don't own any of their gear. I was thinking about getting some, but with this, forget it.

Now if this was over Google Fart I could certainly understand where you're coming from...
