Comment As if T-Mobile can really serve LTE ? (Score 1) 346

I bought a T-Mobile line last month and used it for a continuous 4 weeks in various places in California. Never for once had I seen LTE in my phone; I wonder how can anyone use 2 TB of data in one month with this extremely slow data service.

Submission + - Kuwait sentences two men to jail for tweets crticizing ruler (guardian.co.uk)

Submitted by Oxide on Wednesday January 09, 2013 @01:10AM

Oxide writes: A Kuwaiti court sentenced a man to two years in prison on Monday for insulting the country's ruler on Twitter, his lawyer said, the second person to be jailed for the offense in as many days. The Gulf state has clamped down in recent months on political activists who have been using social media websites to criticize the government and the ruling family.

What's interesting is that the tweets in question did not mention the ruler directly but just indicated it might be him it is referring to.

I have been using Blizzard's Authenticator on my iPhone for a quite a while now and I'm very pleased with it. I can't imagine the devastation I would be in if my wow account got hijacked. I've spent days and nights developing my characters and It would be a huge loss if I lost them to some script kiddie.

The iPhone Authenticator is like you holding a physical key to your account. Good idea.

Simple and effective for quick calculations. Just press ALT+F2 and then instead of typing a command type your calculation string like: 12*3/2+2 and hit enter. WALAH... the answer is in the same run command. Can't beat that.
