@TheyDidItFirst Think about businesses, too. My corporate laptop could easily be switched with a cloud-based OS. Honestly, it would be far easier to manage a whole bunch of computers running ChromeOS than it is to manage the same number of Windows XP computers using clunky systems like SMS.

Unfortunately, Google has never been known for coming up with mind-blowing interfaces. What they HAVE done, however, is make the cloud-based computing platform that much more interesting by diving into it.

It would be easier and safer to put in a femtocell, would it not? With the conductor, there's a hell of a lot of transmission line stuff to consider.

Josh, I assume the intro tune was your idea. (Well, technically, it WAS your idea).

I agree with Nilay. Funnily enough, Sprint performs better than Verizon in my apartment.

Aye to that. I throw people all the time when I say Q1.

Downloading now, but I gotta say, the intro this week was kind of lackluster. It's silly, but that 8-bit surprise is part of my week, and Jay-Z wasn't a very pleasant one. =)

For lack of a better venue to ask: Where's this week's podcast?

I'm still agonizing over the Palm Pre. I've decided that I don't want to wait until I graduate this coming June, but I'm wondering where to get it and from who. I'm planning on pulling the trigger towards the end of Q1 2010. After graduation, I will be working for a company that does a lot of international business, so it's conceivable that I will be spending a few weeks at a time in various locations around the world. Is it worth it for me to go after a GSM Pre given that frequencies are all over the map, or am I better off picking up the CDMA version?

Further, should I grab the Sprint version, or the Verizon version? I'm currently a Verizon customer, but I'm terrified of Verizon bastardizing the phone (the notion of a Get It Now app in webOS terrifies me.) The Motorola Droid gives me hope, but the Droid is launching as a leading-edge device (Android 2, not on any carrier), while the Pre has very much been out and about. What's your call?

For lack of a better arena to ask this question: Where the heck is this week's podcast? Did I miss a notice or something?

To the programmer who wrote this spambot: take english lessons and get a dictionary.

But man, that is quite creepy...I hope Intellius has got my information right.
