Angry iPhone users bring antitrust class action against Apple

AT&T phones will not work with other US carriers

Unless I am mistaken, I think that the US iPhone only used AT&T's GSM bands, so unlocking would not mean that you could use on any of the other US GSM carriers (eg T-Mobile).

CDMA is completely different as well, so having your phone unlocked would be pointless unless you go overseas (and even then it might not work).

The exclusivity deal was really a technology lock in. The exclusive deal was only Apple not creating a CDMA device, or a multiband GSM radio.

Not that I want to stick up for AT&T and Apple, but I can't really see where the problem is.....

Facebook planking game claims its first victim

Planking problem?

Natural. Selection.

So, what's the best sci-fi film never made?

Your luck is partially in....

The Forever War is "in development"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307468/

Which probably means it will never come to pass :(

So many choices.....

Well, Ringworld would look great (but the sequel would probably film better).

The Dread Empires Fall by Walter Jon Williams would be pretty spectacular.

Something by Iain M Banks? Excession would probably be my choice. Definitely not Feersum Endjinn or The Algebraist as they would be just a little (a lot) weird.

The Lost Fleet?

Ok, I admit it, pretty much anything with HUGE space battles....
