Economist.  The battle over CDMA heats up.  3G so far has turned into a boondogle of immense proportions.  From what I understand, W-CDMA came about due to a desire by the industry not to pay Qualcomm licensing fees. "In such countries as South Korea, Brazil, India and Mexico, where existing 2G networks already use CDMA, upgrading to 3G's higher speeds in the form of CDMA2000 is relatively cheap and simple. Countries that adopted GSM, however, are having to build new networks from scratch at great expense. As a result, some parts of the developing world may have high-speed mobile networks before many European countries." 11:37:06 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

Economist.  India and Pakistan back-away from tossing nukes at each other.  File this article under "hope for humanity." 11:25:27 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

New test for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) or "economy class syndrome."   I am still hoping for a smart law firm to find the victims of this and band them together in a class action suit against the airlines.  Maybe then we will get larger seats (thanks Alwin for the link). 9:02:40 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
