I can't believe that no one is talking about the iPhone being on Verizon! Or did we completely talk it out during the many times that the rumors surfaced?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

More info: Verizon's iPhone is going to annihilate every phone in the U.S.

eta: The Verizon iPhone has a built-in mobile hotspot and redesigned antenna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of non Verizon things, what's the best free audio editor for the Mac? I don't need more than clipping and matching up WAVs and MP3.

I think Audacity is very good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

This may be my first ever post in Tech, weird. Hope my question hasn't been answered a dozen times already, 'cause I only read recent stuff.

Anyway, I'm giving serious consideration to the idea of kicking Time Warner to the curb and switching to AT&T U-verse. But I've got stuff on my DVR I'd like to hang on to. What are my options, and does anyone have any recommendations for or against particular methods?

Thanks.

I am very skeptical of this:

Would You Trust the Government to Control Your Online Identity?

Facebook has enough trouble winning trust, but imagine if they were the government. Well, the US government has plans to develop what is essentially their version of Facebook Connect to provide citizens with a single online identity. Would you use it?

ReadWriteWeb reports that the United States government plans to create an identity ecosystem that will allow a user to have a single verified identity and use it to sign in to any site supporting the program. It's basically like the government version of Facebook Connect. Verizon, Google, PayPal, Symantec and AT&T all support the program already, but do you? Would you feel comfortable handing over your single login to the government?

There's a poll on this page - "No" is about 90%.
