| There's a reason I haven't read PC World in years... ... grinding their own personal axe by incuding Verizon on their list is one example.
Verizon anti-tech - *pffth* my 20/20 FIOS data line and TV that stomps the snot out of Comcrap says otherwise. |

Phones had capabilities disabled by Verizon that could be 'enabled' for a fee. Hiding or disabling the capabilities of smart phones or pocket PCs to the preference of crippled verizon alternatives?
Simply because they offer a service that you enjoy doesn't discount the fact that they have been the leader in squashing real technological innovation. |

Butner, NC | I was going to say amazing, but then just realized how typical it is for one to just look and their own beneficial circumstances and say the heck with how a company, government, etc is doing as a whole. |

"Simply because they offer a service that you enjoy doesn't discount the fact that they have been the leader in squashing real technological innovation."
Or worded in a more straight forward way; any company that doesn't operate as you think they should is no good.
Sorry, I don't see anything anti-tech in what you describe. So my cell phone doesn't have some useless widget you think it should *boo-hoo*
What I see is a company investing billions to push broadband technology and cable TV competition and finally putting the well deserved screws to Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and other proponents of last century technology when critics said it would never happen. |
