You would think that a company that runs a nationwide communications network would like how the Internet works.

Do they think Netflix gets all of its bandwidth for free? Do they think that Netflix walks in to a data center and says "Hey, we want 2Gbps of uplink speed, and we dont want to pay for it". Do business customers come to comcast and say "I want 1Gbps of Metro Optical Ethernet uplink speed; and I donâ(TM)t want to pay for it". I think not.

the reason Comcast does not get money from Netflix, is because Comcast gets money from the people that want to use netflix. This is how the Internet has worked since the good old dialup modem days.

Of course the dialup modem days where the days when competition existed in the consumer Internet user marketplace. Now days all the consumer has to choose from is 30Mbps from Comcast or 7Mbps from a phone company. If a company offered the same level of service/speeds as Comcast but could stream Netflix and Amazon Instant Video better; Comcast would have an incentive to operate on a even playing field.

I think in return, twitter should ban @FBIPressOffice, @TSA, @DHSGov, and @Whitehouse

Now think of the advantage of paying $3K for 1m users on myspace. That would reach 4% of the myspace userbase (which is 25m users) instead of only .0000001% of the facebook userbase....

Umm, nice try. Take a look at the law that is referenced in this post.
Chapter 90, section 1 (definitions):
Motor vehicles, all vehicles constructed and designed for propulsion by power other than muscular power including such vehicles when pulled or towed by another motor vehicle, except railroad and railway cars, vehicles operated by the system known as trolley motor....

Man, I wish I could use my mod points to mod this entire story Redundant

It is great that the surface has a micro-sd card, but it suffers the same issues that the android platform has, which is that you can NOT install apps on the micro-sd card. For comparison, both IOS 6 and Jelly Bean are around 2gb in size.

Man, after all of Sun's customers got screwed by Oracle buying them I cant believe people are still investing in Sparc hardware. Sun''s marketshare has gone from 16% in q1-2008 to 4.7% in q1-2012 as HP, IBM and Dell's marketshare have increased. With declines like that; its only a matter of time before Oracle turns away the rest of their server customers by killing off Sparc an Solaris.

And in related news, a Gallop poll found 54% of people have never been in an airport before.

"15 mile range and 21 MPH top speed"

Runs for 43 minutes at top speed; AND it can go 300 city blocks; how impressive. I just might need to put that bicycle away.

The mission of the ITC is to "serve the public by implementing U.S. law and contributing to the development of sound and informed U.S. trade policy"

Exactly how is banning a good chunk of mobile phones from entering the country (HTC and Motorola, and making insane decisions "developing sound and informed trade policy"?
I am just waiting for samsung devices to be banned too.

Hrmn, when reading this I quickly realized the list that would be much more useful. "The 30 Wost Undocumented Features of Windows 8". I guess as more people start to use Win8, that list will fill up quickly.

I have a surefire way that lets me continue to use facebook. I tell firefox not to keep facebook cookies. Everytime I close my web browser, cya facebook cookies

I find it quite interesting in the netflix prediction:
Prior to model change:
Streaming only: 10,0m customers
Streaming+DVD: 12.0m customers
DVD Only: 3.0m customers

Post-implementation of the new pricing model, Netflix expects the customer base break-out to be:
Streaming only: 9.8m customers
Streaming+DVD: 12.0m customers
DVD only: 2.2m customers

So let me get this straight - the price for streaming+dvd is at least doubling - and Netflix is not expecting that customer count to go down at all. Instead, they are expecting a net loss on the two plans they are creating to make things better - instead of a net loss on on the plan that is going up 100% for many customers.

Some of the documents say they operated through the company JDC networking (still up and running, but imageless)

One thing about this case...
You can not tell me you look at that website, and think you are getting "cisco compatable" stuff, and not true, 100% Cisco stuff.
