I'm reading more articles about this, and a lot of analogies about water pipes is coming up. The argument goes that if more people move in, the water company is going to need to increase the size of the pipe to handle the increased use. Makes sense then why they would be interested in charging per liter (to pick a volume we're using for this ( Read more... )

There are two sides to this story: Indie ISPs say "internet should be for everyone"; Bell says "they're using our lines, we deserve a fair share ( Read more... )

After months of fighting, talking to coworkers, researching, a couple of press with some good advice, I finally managed to talk to a lawyer yesterday ( Read more... )

I forgot my cell phone charger when I went away for the weekend. The only place you can apparently get Nokia chargers is at authorized Nokia dealers. 10 years ago I would have expected this, but with more phones switching to micro and mini USB, I am definitely going to add "standard charging cable" to my list of requirements when selecting a ( Read more... )
