Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads - Slashdot:

- after all, there is NO way that a driverless car can be worse than most of the drivers in Nevada and they claim to have a license. Maybe seeing a driverless car do a better job at driving will motivate some of the Nevada drivers to actually improve their driving skills.

Book Review: The Information Diet - Slashdot

Book Review: The Information Diet - Slashdot:

- This is a book that I read several months ago after hearing an interview with Leo Laporte and Tom Merritt on Triangulation on the TWIT network. It is well written, well thought out and involves a complex topic. Clay Johnson hits very close to the mark in observing and demonstrating that we are distracted by attempting to "digest" too much information.

- Well worth the time to read.

Did NASA record a Solar eruption or a UFO refueling - SlashGear:

- Unfortunately, the reports on this "often observed" rarely reported phenomenon are just not quite correct. They are not refueling. This is a trash dump. And, boy is the captain of that alien ship in trouble with the IAA (Intergalactic Aviation Association). They are supposed to dump their trash on the side of the Sun that we can't see. - Oh well, after all it is 2012.

AT&T Clarifies Data Limitations On "Unlimited" Data Plans - Slashdot

http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/03/05/0325227/att-clarifies-data-limitations-on-unlimited-data-plans Here's my post to the comments on this article on Slashdot: As a long time AT&T customer, this does more than irritate. I down right pisses me off. The simple answer is that I am grandfathered in with the unlimited data plan. Point 1 - AT&T advertised and sold this plan as UNLIMITED data Point 2 - AT&T routinely advertises that they have the fastest 3G network Under AT&T's current plan to throttle, AT&T only gets to pick ONE thing that they still offer (either fastest 3G or UNLIMITED), and then they are guilty of FALSE advertising on the other -- IT"S JUST THAT SIMPLE. Ultimately, we should ALL call them on it, even if it means long lines at the courthouse for each of our small claims.
