The US mobile market appears to be totally different to the UK and other countries, in the UK; a phone will work on any network (though some have to be unlocked first), full coverage across the country (except for some remote areas) and most other countries via roaming, short contacts (12 months, with cheaper 18 month contracts recently launched), a wide choice of free phones, texting is massively popular.
You never pay for incoming calls, unless you are abroad and even then it is under 20p a minute in most countries - making outgoing calls in other countries is pretty cheap as well. Competition is growing with prices dropping, plus the EU is forcing price reductions for certain calls.
Single provider bundles of mobile phone, landline phone, cable / satellite tv and broadband is the big thing at the moment and is only going to get more popular.
Whilst the US is their home market it might be easier to launch a phone in another country. They could launch their own mobile service in the UK pretty easily, as there is already a number of mobile providers which don't own their own network and just rent off others. There wouldn't be any need for them to go with a single network either, you don't get much in the way of exclusives in the UK other than colour variations.
Some people seem to think that we don't use mobiles just as mobiles in the UK. Other than texting (which is popular) other services have never taken off - the percentage of people browsing the internet via their mobile is pretty low for example.

I'm very exited the new iMacs came out tuesday. I'm wanting to buy the 21,5 inch based model. Unfortunately, I live in Belgium, for those who don't know where that is: it's in the western part of Europe. So I wanted to know when the new iMac possibly can arrive.
I also wanted to know your opinions onto the new iMacs and especially te 21,5 inch based model.
Please let me know.

Finder:
- Have an address bar so I can copy and paste file locations. Really useful to a developer, especially with working between the Finder and Terminal.
- Have a way of seeing how much disk space directories and their children take up, both with number sizes and graphically.
- Stop freaking putting every downloaded file in the bottom right of my Desktop, on top of the last downloaded file. Put the icon anywhere else on the free half of my Desktop.
- If I empty the trash, I expect to see that volume's space taken or available value update right away for its icon, on the Desktop.
- Tabbed Finder windows?

I updated the listing with more firm pricing.
Also, I wanted to add I have a couple of references here on MR and my eBay ID is the same as my MR one!

lol 1 last question is is it 1 cable or do i have to buy the adapter? i looked online for just one cable but i keep getting the adapter instead of 1 cord. but my guess is that you have a regular optical cord then plug the 1 end into the adapter? :S

I was at the ATL airport teaching a training class for our employees. We heard something about a plane and checked CNN online, from there is all went downhill fast. I remember calling to check on friends at other airports to make sure they were OK. I had friends at JFK, and EWR that were all very involved.
Being a the busiest airport in the world when all of the planes were grounded was very bizarre. I went up to the Tower and there were planes everywhere on the ground, but none were taking off or landing, which is absolutely unheard of in ATL.
I knew that day that my life was changed forever, and that our industry was in a fight for its life. The airlines have never recovered, and may never. Not just because of 9/11 itself, but fuel (which is a by product) and other factors.
We will probably file bankruptcy this week, and more job cuts and pay cuts are coming.

So, I'm trying to connect my DirecTV reciever to an Airport Base Station that I want to extend my wireless network, which is configured using a Siemens Gigaset router for our Frontier internet.
In Airport Utility, I've got "extend a wireless network" selected, but when I try to select my specific wireless network, it says "the network you've selected cannot be extended".
So I guess my question is this: is there a way to make my Gigaset router wireless network extendable, or will I only be able to use my Airport base to extend other Apple wireless routers?

Interesting, I use Westpac (although I'm in NZ, not Australia), and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Safari.
The St. George Au Web banking site has a heart attack every time it sees Safari, and tells me to use IE or Netscape, the flaw is, there is a little continue button at the bottom, and when clicked on, allows you to continue using Safari. The funny thing is, there is numerous banners all displaying 'NOT COMPATIBLE WITH XP SERVICE PACK 2' all over the site. WTF?

Glad you got it working.
For me it's not just the iPad but happened on my iPhone 4 too.
I have not figured out why but it will work when I either do it on a different machine or boot into another partition like the developer preview of lion.
I always thought that the jailbreak did something in the system but don't know for sure.

Will this RAM work in the above mentioned MINI? I want to take it to at least 2gb. Not sure if its worth it to go to 3gb. Can i install this 2gb module and leave one of the 512mb in as well?

Apologies to all, didn't know multiple folks were still working on it.
This is good news...
By the time it's jailbroken it'll be time for iOS 5 and everyone will want that. I hope I'm wrong. I returned my iPad 2 after waiting a month for jailbreak. My opinion is we won't see a JB anytime soon, but I hope I'm wrong. I switched from iPhone to Android Phone, and haven't looked back. I can't use an iOS device anymore without jailbreak, so I really hope the JB for iPad comes out before the Samsung tablet this summer, otherwise I think I'm done with iPad for good... seems to be a growing bit of contention with iPad owners. Here's hoping for a quick JB

Well, considering you don't seem to understand that once your income is taxed, it is yours to keep, until you choose to spend it, at which time you might owe sales or use taxes.
I like this choice: Yes. The state (we the people) can take that wealth at any time we feel it justified.
Like this is a blatant socialistic communistic choice. :) I wonder if the OP realizes states frequently take things from individuals when it feels justified. Imminent domain for example so a new shopping center can be opened.
Polls always need an "undecided" choice.

Can't you do a redirect without a category -- just so all the old links aren't broken?
I dunno. I tried to add something to the wiki and it didn't work right so I got scared and deleted what I added. I'm just gonna stick to editing wikis and not starting new topics.

Another thing Apple should do in a redesigned ACD is to get rid of the external brick power supply.
I don't mind having external brick, it fits nicely under my PowerMac. What I would want to see is longer cable between host and display!! I'd kill for a 5 meter cable.

That's... great. Really nice story waloshin. Probably one to tell the grandkids.
I actually just told it to all my friends and posted it on FaceBook. It's quite the hit, right next to Little Red Riding Hood.

The last line of the first rule in style.css seems to be one of the culprits.
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
}
If you change the value of font-size the fonts on the page adjust accordingly... except for the page you go to after clicking on Submit, where the Main Menu and Contact Info font size stay constant no matter how much you fiddle with that value.
Somewhere that font-size rule is being altered by another rule. Unfortunately there are so many levels of nesting in the HTML markup and unused selectors and rules in the .css files that I cannot even begin to guess at where that is happening.
My only suggestion is to make a new stylesheet with only the rules the page is using and then comment them out one by one, until you find the offender.

Half the day has passed. nothing yet!! :confused:
I believe that was suppose to be yesterday, not today...
Today there are multiple sources that now claim 4.3.1 should be out in two weeks or less, and that Apple has fixed the hole in the iPad2!
