Sep 17th 2008 11:01PM whoever said it smells there is right. those salt farms combined with the nearby dump makes that area generally pretty smelly. although thats pretty cool that they're building it right here. maybe they'll run some tours like nummi and us bay area-ites can see some tesla's rolling off the line
Samsung shows off netbook ahead of October launch {Engadget}
Sep 11th 2008 2:16PM "Why doesn't anybody innovate in this space?
A slightly larger SSD maybe. Or bluetooth? Or a trackpoint? Or good speakers? Or an LED backlit display? Or a slightly thinner profile? Or an N-cell battery where N != 3,4, or 6? Or a slot-load DVD? Or Windows XP Pro? Or a quick boot option to play music and look at photos? Or 802.11n? Or a different graphics processor? Or built-in 3G? Or a borderless screen?"
um almost all netbooks come with bluetooth, and an LED backlight LCD, the asus 1000h comes with 802.11n, the lenovo s10 has a built in expresscard, most of the netbooks come with an option for linux with ~15sec boot times, and some even boast dobly digital certified speakers.
although i do mostly agree with your point. all these netbooks are very similar, but for me since im in the market for one, design will win me over, at first it was the wind, now this samsung looks thin and has the design i had in mind. might be canceling my lenovo s10 order to grab this if it truly does hit by october
Senator opens inquiry into rising text messaging rates {Engadget}
Sep 10th 2008 1:36PM no not 120 billion but its up there.
according to a press release issued from at&t in january:
AT&T reported record revenue and profit results for the fourth quarter of this year. Sales for Q4 2007 were $30.1 billion, up from $15.9 million in Q4 2006. Profit climbed to $3.1 billion, up from $1.9 billion a year ago.
The company attributed the growth mainly to its wireless business, which brought in $11.4 billion in sales, up 16%, and net income of $1.9 billion, up 44%.
hmm lets see...they also reported they have 70 million subscribers, if even half of them had a text messaging plan at $15/month think of the profits. especially since they used to not charge much for text messages. im still on an old legacy attws plan which has free incoming texts and the rates USED to be 5cents to send a text, but they even charge us oldies 10cents now. i dont even want to talk about the new at&t wireless' plans...iirc they charge 10c to send and 10c to receive. total ripoff.
