In some of the previous versions of the web jailbreak, they would also patch the bug after jailbreaking.

Not sure about the current jailbreak, but in the previous case, you were left with a more secure phone than with the firmware offered by apple.

but if you're seeing red shift on stuff that took 9 billion years to reach you, isn't it possible for the universe to have expanded for 8 billion years, then now it's collapsing at the speed of light - and you wouldn't have any way of telling it's reversed course?

You'd see a blue shift even if the universe was collapsing at the speed of light?

If we're looking at the light source from something that was emitted 9 billion light years ago, how do we know the universe is still expanding? Isn't it possible the universe quit expanding and has been shrinking for the last few billion years? Would we even know about it if it was shrinking at the speed of light? What abou... [no carrier]

Try having kids. Then try buying those kids $40 wii games.

Damn games barely last a week.

I will be happy to see anything that looks like a CDROM go away. They are far too easily damaged. Put games on a thumbdrive for all I care. I just want reliability from media.

md5 in my company (very large multinational corp) is a big no-no. We can't use it. SHA1 is what everything had to be hashed with.

I'm going to send you a ton of emails at buy@viagra.<mydomain> since I now know you'll receive it.

Both parties are bought and paid for by special interests. Screw them both. Neither can justify having my support.

I don't think they care.

Every unit sony sold, sony lost money on.

Every unit sold that wasn't purchased with the intent to play games on, sony lost projected income on.

Either way you look at it, sony will be glad to have rid themselves of those kinds of people.

At that point, it's called a desktop computer and not a console.

Their initial pricing of $99 will be dropped if they find that the demand isn't there.

I wouldn't buy it for any price higher than $35. It isn't worth that much, but I think their price point is to compete with their stand alone products. They would not want to cannibalize their own products especially given the userbase of the iPhone.

You make good points, but by the same logic, I could say that I want a phone that does only phone calls, to save wear and tear on my mp3 player. I could also say I want a palm pilot for a PDA. And a dedicated PVP for video on the go.

In the end, you will have a dozen digital devices, when you could have done it with just one.

> The whole point is that cars are getting more efficient while using less gas

That is a good thing. And you can raise taxes accordingly. This helps not only raise money, but also punishes fuel inefficient vehicles. I like this approach much better than the $4500 reward they're giving to people for making poor choices in life.

Makes me wonder why roofs and not pavement. There's a lot of roads and parking lots around the world. Seems like there's more surface area of those than roofs.
