Will we have to pay for our US calling now if Gizmo5 becomes part of the whole GV deal? If so... le sigh. I just got my G1 back from repairs and set up Sipdroid and GV/Gizmo so I could use my GV callout to make free calls when I need to.
If they're gonna start charging, I'm out =\ #gizmo5
Following that, will Google have to start playing by the same rules as the telecoms with Google Voice? They're getting away with some of their restrictions now because they are not a telecom, but this adds complexity to the issue. #gizmo5
@zmnatz: Does Skype get around those restrictions because they are considered an overseas company, not an American one? After the whole Google Voice debacle with AT&T, I wondered about Skype myself (I have used Skype for many years now). #gizmo5

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.

[Skype Engineer 1 picks up]
Skype Engineer 1: Hello?
Skype Engineer 1: Hello!
Skype Engineer 1: I can hear you!
[Skype Engineer 1 slams phone]
Skype Engineer 2: Let me guess, heavy breathing and locomotive sounds looped in the background?
Skype Engineer 1: I fucking hate Google.
