Re:Replacing the PC on Wednesday April 30, 2014 @10:45PM (#7677934)
I honestly hope so. Not because I refuse to believe the 21st century exists or because - well, not entirely because they extend the NSA's reach so much, but just because they sound so earthshatteringly bad.

The phone network isn't supposed to sound like that. Compare AMR, EVRC-B, and mu-law side by side sometime.

That being said, the PC has a level of flexibility that mobile devices really can't touch. If the PC really is dying, then I think it's a failure or a lack of interest from consumers to take full advantage of their capabilities.

Re:Verizon inks paid peering deal with Netflix on Monday April 28, 2014 @10:47PM (#7664609)
AT&T is fixing to do a similar deal too from the looks of it. I have to say, I see some very, very bitter irony in them doing this while publicly shaming Comcast over their paid peering arrangement.

So which ISP is next?
