May 8, 2011 No Comment
It looks like HP is getting into the prepaid data game. The company just announced DataPass, a solution that lets you purchase 3G service from your laptop. The service is HP-branded, and that isn’t just marketing hype — the company bought excess spectrum from Sprint and is setting its own prices, effectively turning the PC maker into an MVNO . The no-contract plans start at $5 for a modest 75MB, which HP says is enough for about five hours of use, and stretch up to $30 for 1GB. Look for it as an option across the company’s lineup of business notebooks with the Qualcomm Gobi un2400 radio module.

May 8, 2011 No Comment
There certainly has been a lot of interesting comments made by the Obama-loving media this week following last Sunday's successful raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. One of the most surprising came from the Washington Post's Bob Woodward who told “Meet the Press” host David Gregory, “Being holed up in that compound was smug. It was raising a middle finger to the United States and saying, 'Hey, look, we're hiding right under your nose'” (video follows with transcript and commentary): BOB WOODWARD, WASHINGTON POST: People said, “Look, bin Laden and al-Qaeda is winning the war psychologically, and we're going to keep trying to get him.” And they realized that bin Laden would make a mistake, they would get complacent, and, and that's exactly what they did in taking–I mean, in a way, being holed up in that compound was smug.
