It's a big jump from "your phone company sees your call logs" to "you don't mind if anyone sees your call logs."

Yes, that's exactly what I was going for.

This will be cute until donors start being investigated for funding terrorism.

They're pretty lenient -- there are all sorts of awful websites that I'm able to visit without issue. They only tend to block sites related to hacking and piracy.

This website was blocked by my company's firewall as "suspicious."

"My lazy father never taught me how to mail a letter."

Then why not say that?

We have K-12 civics courses?

I'm all for supporting good, independent software shops, but $70 for a ST2 license is obscene. I use the free version and would happily pay to remove the "Buy Me!" popup at a lower price point.

No, they are a way to more effectively collect photos for Street View and WiFi AP locations for GPS-free location based services... both are which are products of Google Maps which itself is a vessel for selling advertising.

Someone posted a long link below that stretched out the entire page.

They're Jewish.

An app per city would be great! Here in NYC, with boats, subways, railroad, and buses (and all of this x2 as there are private and public services), no one app on iOS fit the bill. Google Maps connects EVERYTHING.

"- Cabs are incredibly cheap here."

Is that a joke? A 10 minute cab ride with light traffic can approach $20.

Agreed. HN loves to criticize Apple for forcing their UIs to mimic real-life (think Newsstand, leather stitching, etc), but still considers things like this desirable.

From a technical perspective, it's cool. Please don't use this on real sites!

T-Mobile is retooling their network to give HSPA+ speeds to iPhone users. This should be done by the end of the year. I am considering leaving Verizon for their bring-your-own device plans with my iPhone 4S. These plans are around $45/mo for 5GB data and more voice and texts than I can use. The only thing holding me back is their insistence on getting me to sign a 2 year contract. I've been on Verizon for 10 years and know nothing about T-Mobile's level of service. I would not want to lock myself into a contract with them without the ability to leave at will.
