    Wait, 5G?

    Why are they bringing up 5G??

    We haven't even hit 4g yet, we are still in this limbo of LTE. I've only experienced 4G on a train in Tokyo. No where in the states has 4G.

    But, it's all about marketing, I gudss...

    DNY almost had it.

    I want understand why so many of you are too blind to see that the question was in fact loaded.

    If Clapper had said yes, then he had to admit that they collected data on Americans, then have to tell Wyden that he cant tell him what data, or how much, because of National Security. And lets be honestly, no matter what your view of its morality, collecting data, innocent data or not, is in the best interest of a government. The biggest threat to any security system is who it protects.

    And we all see what happened when he said no. What was the guy to say? It was loaded.

    And no. I don't think its right to spy on your people and lie about it. The gov't should come out and admit to spying on us. We'll get over it.

    I have to agree with the judge in that he should have done so elsewhere. He intentionally caused a commotion just to get attention. There was no need to for him to go that for at a checkpoint.

    However, I applaud the courts pushing back against the TSA's over-reaching behavior, and for upholding an Amendment, which seems to be lacking across the board.

    (I would have detained (used loosely) the individual if I was working the TSA gate, if only to question his mental state and purpose.)

    Re: Not so sure...

    Normally, I'd say I might agree with you.

    The thing is, is Google Play using a simulating page turn. I've been using it the past say, two months. (I'd have been using it longer, but I was previously using Aldiko, which, by-the-way, also has an animation).

    In fact, a quick Google search results in an article (linked below) from July 2007 about page-turning effects.

    Apple, once again, has patented something that has already been done, and will probably sue someone for it...

    Re: AC1

    It all depends on his definition of "Top". Is "top" the best (most skilled)? Or is it the most popular? It could also mean highest paid. In this instance, I'd agree with his use of "top" because I believe he is referring to the most popular (to those outside the practice) and the highest paid (due to their abuse of the system). Otherwise I'd agree, I wouldn't consider them the top patent lawyers.

    Against what most of y'all are thinkin', this IS an unlimited plan. Nothing about it is limited. No where does it say you'll have "blazing speeds guaranteed." Just states that it's unlimited. It's not using the term "unlimited" fraudulently. It's like saying phone X is $XXX, but upon reading the fine print, you discover it's really $YYY, but you get a mail-in rebate for X amount. I don't hear you guys screaming false advertisement there. It's just a fact of life here in the good ol' USA.
