He likes making things? What's so wrong with that? There's pretension in that statement, or a lack thereof either.

It should be noted that I actually never claimed a copyright, nor copyright protection on this. Creative Commons isn't a copyright. I'm also not mad about the uses of this image. I moreso just wanted to call out the fact that there was no attribution happening, as requested through the CC license.

Sure. The "low res" version was 16x16, as it was the favicon. But what my post is referring to is that it was my scaled up version of the 16x16 icon that got picked up by the press, and not the official logo.

My version was based on Google's 16x16 favicon. It was basically a scaled up version of that. Their "blocky" version did exist before, but mine was specifically a take on their favicon.

Technically a "remix" would be defined as taking an original image, and making changes to that specific image.

In this case, I saw their favicon (16x16) and created a derivative work that was high resolution. I'm not complaining per se by any means...I really could care less. My statements on the license were to show that these derivations and uses might happen without permission, which they did in this case.

That's not true. CDMA is just one band. The iPhone 5 supports multiple bands, including GSM bands and LTE bands. It also includes a SIM card slot. The iPhone 5 can be unlocked and a new SIM inserted.

Corrected that part. Thanks.

I can update the chart if someone finds a definitive price.

It's not. That's why the iPhone 5 has GSM bands supported as well.

No current network supports VoLTE so I'm not sure this can be confirmed yet.

Incentive to move multiple devices to a single plan. Reduces attrition.

Unfortunately LTE-based devices on Sprint still won't be backwards compatible with the converted WiMAX towers as they only output in 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands. The iPhone 5 specifically maxes out at a 2.1GHz band.

Share everything is the only current option.

If you're going to Canada a lot, your best option would be the AT&T iPhone as the Verizon iPhone won't support Canadian LTE bands.

If a Verizon account has been in good standing for at least 60 days, supposedly they'll unlock your device: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-57361283-266/will-verizon-...

The biggest drawback for Sprint is their abysmal LTE coverage. They bet too early on with WiMAX and lost out on the LTE train. It's going to be a good long while before they're caught up there.

No question. I'd say the biggest issue there would be artifacts and frame rate. But jailbreaking is really the only other option, so I think it's not a bad plan.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll update the post.

Corporate donations are indeed deductible, but generally speaking it's when the actual grant is made. If the grant is made when the stock has a low strike price, then there's really no benefit attached. If the grant is made when the strike price is high, then it's a significant cost on the business and dilutive to all parties involved.

The solution that 1% of Nothing provides is that it's the individual giving the shares instead, only exercised when there's an exit (IPO or acquisition).

That's actually not true. The way this is structured, it's the founder's stock that they're actually giving up. They're diluting themselves.
