the article sorta implies that only 'hp+' denies use of third-party cartridges for life of the printer.. but just plain 'instant ink' subs do, too, through mandatory automatic firmware updates to the printer that will immediately install a firmware update with 'dynamic security' that blocks all but 'genuine' oem cartridges.

give it time. the government (us) wants to put interlock gadgets into every new car to prevent drunks from driving. driving under the influence is illegal and those that do are more likely to kill someone. so is driving without a license, and so are those drivers.

paying almost $90 now, here, for supposedly 300mbps (downstream) that barely ever gets past 60. there are people near me that pay about the same for 1mbps or less dsl (just outside of cable's territory, so dsl is all they have)

the sad bit is, wireline internet providers could sell $30 per month high-speed internet and still make money at that lower rate and without subsidies.

the wait to disclose was probably on purpose. it will get a lot less media attention this time of year vs october.

that's the equivalent of a couple sacks of groceries or a tank of gas for many of us.

how was that even possible, connection should have mysteriously dropped after the first 50 megabytes or so.

that's unfortunate. sure looks like they could use some competency in the area applied-for.

at the rate my $50 flippers fall apart, i need a new one every couple years or sooner. but i'm certainly not keeping up with anyone wrt my phone... as it's just a phone, not a pocket pc.
