I like to laugh, so if there's not a wardrobe malfunction going on somewhere, I'm gonna watch the commercials. It's the one time of year that I can stand advertising. |

Comcast dropping Powerboost with some speed increasesI got a letter from Comcast today saying they upped the speed of their Performance tier to 20/4. But speed tests show that with the speed increase, the Powerboost feature appears to be gone as well. Comcast letter
Speed test
And some proof that Powerboost is gone: DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008. Shaper Detection Module.
Connected to server 64.9.225.166.
Estimating capacity: Upstream: 4533 Kbps. Downstream: 22360 Kbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: No shaper detected. Median received rate: 4442 Kbps.
Downstream: No shaper detected. Median received rate: 21914 Kbps.

Why are laptop keys so darn hard to put back on?If I wanted to clean the keyboard on my old windows 95 gateway computer, it was literally just a snap. Pull the keys off, clean and press them back on. With my modern gateway laptop, it is a huge pain in the ass to even put one key back on. They aren't simply snap and you're done. You have to finagle a piece of plastic that is attached to and swings on the back of the key with another free piece of plastic back onto the board itself. |

Buses are packedI tried to get a bus to Riverdale Shops in West Springfield (MA) but it was standing room only so I grabbed a bus to Holyoke Mall instead. After repeated ankle injuries, my days of standing on moving buses are over. Trains are not that bad as they ride on a smooth track but standing on a bus when it hits a pothole can put me back on crutches.
Buses tend to be busier in the beginning of the month and on the weekends. |

Vodafone brings fiber optics to the Shard, gives you signalVodafone brings fiber optics to the Shard, gives you signal high above London How do you bring mobile signal to the top of the tallest manmade vantage point in Western Europe? Its something you may never have considered before, but mobile signal doesnt travel upwards quite as well as it does across, making the 72nd floor of a modern skyscraper a bit of a stretch. That is to say, its a stretch unless you employ the right network of hidden tech
Which is exactly what Vodafones done with The Shard to give our customers a strong, reliable signal. Even at the very peak of Londons skyline. The View from The Shard is the name for the two viewing platforms that sit at the peak of Londons newest and biggest skyscraper. Theyre huge, panoramic platforms on the 69th and 72nd floors, boasting a 360 degree view of London and the surrounding area. And by surrounding area, we mean the country the scope of the platforms is so vast that on a clear day you can see for 40 miles. Weve even heard talk of some people being able to see all the way to the ocean. And on a slightly cloudy day in January? Its no less impressive: » blog.vodafone.co.uk/2013 ··· e-shard/» www.engadget.com/2013/02 ··· e-shard/ |

Re: Comcast dropping Powerboost with some speed increasesI am pulling this out of my head but most broadband is asymmetrical. Putting more bandwidth to downloading than uploading making the connect more efficient. Unless one running a server one dose need much bandwidth for uploading. One could have a symmetrical connection but it will cost you on bandwidth so instead of down/up of 20Mbs / 5Mbs one is left with 14.5Mbs in each direction. |

Just bought a Nintendo 3DS yesterdayI bought a Nintendo 3DS XL yesterday at Best Buy. Spent a couple of hours playing it. I also bought a Copy of New Super Mario Bros 2 and the first night of playing it I made it to World 6. I guess 20 years of playing various Mario games paid off. I also downloaded a few Game Boy games that I have not played since I was hospitalized in 1998.
I bought the larger 3DS and holding it can be a challenge with my big hands as it was designed for users who are primarily children but adults find it fun as well. It could also be health issues that make it hard to hold as well (I have a mild case of Cerebral Palsy and my hands are swollen from excessive salt intake).
I still have my original Game Boy, I also have the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and DS lite. I have been playing video games since 1990 when I was 7 years old. At 29 I still enjoy the Mario games. I am not really interested in bloody, violent video games. The only violence in video games I'm used to is Mario stomping on a Goomba and Koopa, Mario throwing Bowser into lava or Piranha Plants spitting fireballs at Mario. |

Re: Go Ravens!While I dont really care who wins the Super Bowl, as I have no intense love or hate for either the 49ers of the Ravens, I would like to see Baltimore win for two reasons. 1) Ray Lewis 2) The Blind Side was a good movie. However, I do think the 49ers will win. Kaepernicks arm and legs will carry their offence and I dont think the Baltimore offensive can match the SF output. |
