Big ISPs usually rely on peered connections to other major ISPs, connections which incur no per-bit cost. As for the cables in the ground, they’ve been there for years. The equipment back at the headend must be installed once, after which it runs for years. Cable node splits and DOCSIS hardware upgrades are relatively cheap. Requesting one additional bit does not necessarily incur any additional charge to the ISP. If most Internet costs are fixed (and the National Broadband Plan agrees that they are), and if bandwidth is dirt cheap, what “charges” are heavy Internet users ringing up for ISPs like Time Warner?

Imagine a world trading solely in gold and silver coins. Imagine the size of your wallet. Yet this is the ideal world envisaged by some of Malaysia’s activists championing the Islamic gold dinar and silver dirham as a new form of legal tender to replace paper money – a utopia that could see the light of day as early as the middle of next month

Nexus One Phone

iphoting:

The Nexus One is no longer available for purchase directly from Google… [only] directly from Vodafone with a qualifying service plan in the following countries:
  • Australia

At the rate this is going, Android is moving squarely in the direction of GNU/Linux fragmentation. This means that it’ll be harder for a unified approach to the development of the platform and APIs.

I predict that there will be many “Technological Previews” on the Android platform but few can be rolled-out to the mass market.

The new Flash Player 10.1 for Android is a case in point. I’m still waiting for someone to show me his phone with Flash running.

They are going nowhere.

I need to memorize this, so I know what to order.

So I know what I’m ordering ;) though they strangely spell it yuayang.. 

I’m vaguely amused that more people are confused by the math post than WTFing at it.

This is a wonderful tool. Enter a URL and replace its fonts with any of FontFonts web fonts. Hmm, this site looks rather nice with FF Dagny and FF Meta Serif replacing Helvetica and Georgia.
