TomTom includes carpool lanes in their planning for routes in the United States. I've seen it in California and Connecticut. A big red screen shows up and asks "Route uses carpool …

Less fuss? I remember plenty of talk going on about this -- it hit the front page of many newspapers including the NYT and the Washington Post. The administration even acknowledged…

"Google's CalDAV page already lists the API as being "deprecated." A note on the page adds "If you think you have a compelling use case and would like to be whitelisted for the new…

I had the opportunity to meet Andre last summer while interning at Cisco. I had no idea who he was at first, until I looked him up on LinkedIn and "googled" his name. Towards the e…

Not true -- you must purchase pack-rat unlimited history ($39) to be able to go back beyond 30 days. This is not included in the paid accounts. Both paid and free accounts have 30 …

"Facebook is indeed intercepting messages -- the e-mail is clearly passing through Facebook's servers, but this seems to be where it stays, as neither sender nor receiver are getti…

Interesting that the author chose to use a Kill-a-Watt for power consumption monitoring.. seems like a better idea to use the planning applications available from the major vendors…

Yeah, I was under the impression that it would be illegal also, but apparently the FCC hasn't concluded whether it should be allowed. MagicJack was planning to offer similar functi…

Looks like hellofax couldn't handle the surge in traffic -- site is now down for me. Whenever I see a site down like this due to a surge in traffic for a "free" opportunity, I alwa…

I'm not sure I get it -- it sound's like he wanted to create a national carrier, but bypass all of the FCC licensing requirements by utilizing unlicensed spectrum. This obviously w…

Looks like on the "people" page, someone was attempting to see if the Register input is sanitized? There is one name which appears to include some scripting..?

I'm not sure I see what the big issue is with VPN access. The author complains that VPN connections choke the user's bandwidth, but I am not sure I know many examples of this. Typi…

This is the reason why most online relay services, such as i711, provide their users with free inbound numbers. When a call is received, the user is notified via a variety of mediu…
