It might as well be for REALLY SPEEDING

maybe he can unlock my car too?

This kid's briliant...although I want to wait for the all-software solution.

I was amazed that in the DCMA just passed by Congress that unlocking a phone was not illegal. That's phenomenal...wonder how long that will last?

I always thought the "unlocked" iPhone desires of Fred Wilson were just, shall we say a bit "moral libertarian"

Mark Cuban is not my myspace friend

Marky-mark....I watched your little reality t.v. show; you're boring. (kidding ;) )

ps, I agree with his premise that the internet is in its' infancy as far as delivery, technology and speed. However, I think we only need to look at the current telecom industry to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that further profit motive will not necessarily lead to comprehensive infrastructure upgrade, allowing for evolutionary or revolutionary advancement.

just my thoughts, marky-mark....

My favorite story of 2007

This story makes my soul burn with joy on a number of levels!

I have written on numerous occasions, blogged, stated so in documentary film (Shades of Green by the super-talented Dustin) and in PhD interviews, that I love the Iraqi people and feel honored to have served for a sliver of time (177 days--but who was counting?) in such an ancient land--the birthplace of civilization--the land "between two rivers".

This story is like a small piece of eternal pride in my soul. I love the story of brotherhood, heroism, and sacrifice. And most especially, a sacrifice that was unrestrained by nationality, race or ethnic sect.

This story gives me hope in my dream to take my daughters back to Iraq one day as tourists.

This story...freaking rules!

George Bush is killing another planet!

I'm sure you all that bow at the alter of Global Warming scripture will find a way to blame Bush, Halliburton, SUV's for Climate Change On Mars too

I mean, really?? Temps on Mars have increased at about the same rate as on earth since the 1970's? (uh. after the whole global cooling thing)

Really?

No way....it must have been Ronald Reagan and his Star Wars program.

lemmings. go find a cliff.

it's like, myspace, for spooks...

Finally. This is good news.

Honestly, one of the more forward-thinking things I've seen from Government in a long time. Who's running that joint anyway? A bunch of 20 or 30-somethings?

And as cool as that is, I envision this web 2.0 type of spook community as being more useful, as it presents wiki type of intel collaboration. Crafting and sharing may not even be quite as valuable though as the digg/de.lic.ous clone. Good stuff...

Good stuff. It's now one of my lifetime goals to stay OUT of their websites. Cool or not, that's one social networking profile I don't need....

and you thought YOU had a bad night's sleep...

No truth to the rumor that the dogs had escaped from a property owned by Atlanta Falcon's quarterback, Mike Vick
