because it's a drug maybe? Kindda like naming your kid Crack or Pot - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

LOL. Btw, See-ming is that your real name? - Zee.

its a mac - Robert Higgins

c'est tres beau, more photos here http://www.macgeneration.com/news... - alex

wow! - zʍıɔ

damn! - Mitchell McKenna

Wow! - Nicholas Kreidberg

I was at the Louvre Carousel two weeks ago and saw that this store would be opening soon. Very cool! - TVTechGrl

That looks so over the top it is almost silly. A temple???? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

bello! - goldielocks (Laura)

it's ridiculous. How do they expect to compete? - Zee.

Precisely Zee. O2 must be ever so pleased. - Roberto Bonini

well they won't, obviously. it's just newbies getting into the net neutrality debate. they're going to get lynched - James Cox from IM

anyhow, it's all good- this has to mean that getting unlocked phones will be easier… so then running it on t-mobile uk will be much simpler, especially given that it is such a better network - James Cox from IM

But Zee, consider. Do newbies even know that non-orange streaming services exist (apart from youtube)?? - Roberto Bonini

+1 James. @Roberto honestly, I'd say YouTube and Spotify are enough to be pissed off about - Zee.

Agreed Zee. I dislike restrictions in all its forms. I'd steer well clear of Orange on principle alone. - Roberto Bonini

The strain on the O2 network, at least in London, is palpable. Most people chalk it up to increased data usage driven primarily by iPhone. The hope was that with Vodafone and Orange in the game that things would settle as the usage flattened across the services. Looks like that’s less likely to happen, now that Orange is providing a sub-optimal user experience. This kind of “protectionism” feels a lot like the music industry, before it got burned. - George Nimeh

when i switched to tmo about 5 years ago, i was told during the sales pitch that tmo were investing a million pounds a month on their data infrastructure, to build for the future they knew was coming. i believed them- and still do; in areas they've got 3g, the data rate has been pretty decent and continues to be. It also makes sense: when money was cheap, they upgraded their network. now money is expensive, it's impossible to invest. So don't expect anything to change for a while! - James Cox from IM

"Not to be used for other activities (eg using your handset as a modem, non-Orange internet based streaming services, voice or video over the internet, instant messaging, peer to peer file sharing, non-Orange internet based video)." Why does it remind me of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch... - John Craft

Although I agree with what's being said, I think this is just the old T's & C's for Orange Internet services pre the iPhone. They will change them or not enforce them. That being said, Orange is actually the worst uk network in my view and the 750mb limit just goes to show they really do not understand this marketplace. Personally I think that Vodafone will be the network of choice for the uk come Feb when they start selling it. And I for one will be porting over as soon as I can. - Keith Bennett from BuddyFeed

@James, I've tried an iPhone on tmob uk and it's not as good a service as O2 tbh. All the networks upgraded in recent times to build proper 3g services. In my experience, Vodafone is by far the best for any Internet service. - Keith Bennett from BuddyFeed

I wonder if twisting o2's arm may get me a slight reduction. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

LOL - Anika

:-D - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

But you have better (?) healthcare. It evens out. ;P - Anika

Everything is compromise.. - TrafficBug

Anika, come to Canada - have it both ways ;) - Micah Wittman

Is it bad that I don't even care about Skype news anymore? Or maybe I'm on Twitter too much lol. - Mona Nomura

i gotta admit i still use the service daily, but all it will take is for Google to launch something simpler and more reliable - and i'm there. - Zee.

The article says that Marc Andreessen is onboard. That can only mean good things for Skype. - laosan

Great, thank you! - Jan Ole Peek

RealPlayer?? Are you kidding me? EDIT: I just saw the WMP link. **phew** thank god. - Chieze Okoye

nothing exciting. - Mengu

yeah, it's kinda meh so far. Moderately interesting, but nothing really awesome or eye-catching. - Chieze Okoye

Interesting that they also released their design documents. - Todd Hoff

Yeah, I spoke too soon, heh - Chieze Okoye

Hmmmm, the total cloudiness of the OS and settings and stuff is interesting. - Chieze Okoye

Thoughtful security design. I'm not sure if that's compelling for users though. - Todd Hoff

Yeah, definitely. - Chieze Okoye

What kind of sandwich can you make in 45 seconds? - Todd Hoff

lol - Chieze Okoye

what will Chrome OS do with my multi-GB music catalog? It's going in the cloud? - Chieze Okoye

You will need gdrive for your music :-) - Todd Hoff

Good thing they just dropped the price, but seriously, I have a lot of media. - Chieze Okoye

Good question. How will they deal with offline usage. This is a real issue. Ah, I see. Using HTML5's offlining ability does it. - Chieze Okoye

39 - I used the windows calculator's binary mode (exposed when you turn on the scientific option) to type in 00100111 then switched back to decimal to arrive at my answer... was that geeky? - Chris Heath

Not geeky enough, Chris. 00100111 in ASCII is the comma, so the shirt reads "If you understand this number(,) you'll never get my phone number." I guess this means I'll never get her phone number. - John Craft

it says "if you understand this number" - number being the important part there - if it said character, or just left it at "if you can understand this" i would be more inclined to interpret ASCII - Chris Heath

Don't worry, guys. A chick this ignorant wouldn't be worth getting. Though interestingly, it only works as a gag. An anti-geek girl most likely wouldn't understand the binary code. Or perhaps it's for that tiny audience of geek gals who absolutely don't want geek mates. - Kamilah Gill

or, she is a geek and wants to attract the geeks who won't back down in the face of adversity - Chris Heath

But a number wouldn't have leading zeroes. Therefore, as King Geek, I hereby proclaim that I win this thread, and retire to a life of blonde-free loneliness. - John Craft

Comma? Isn't hex 0x27 apostrophe, comma is 0x2c which would be 00101100. - Ed Millard

"comma is 0x2c which would be 00101100." - So, I lose the thread, but get the girl's phone number? I can live with that. - John Craft

LOL, I suspect your interpretation of the meaning of the shirt was correct, so you lose the girl. And you and the shirt designer lose the thread because the nitwit shirt designer probably thought apostrophe was a comma when he looked it up on an ASCII chart, since they look kind of similar if you don't have a baseline in your chart. - Ed Millard

John, a number would have leading zeros yes - i'm sticking with my story that it said number, so a number it must be - but i'm also with Ed, that the shirt designer is full of loss - Chris Heath
