I need to learn more about this, but it seems like TowerStream offers fixed wireless broadband (up to 6Mb/sec!!!!) in NYC (100% coverage in Manhattan.) Prices look pretty good: fully synchronous 1.5 Mb/sec for $499 a month. Even better, they can apparently have you up and running in a couple of days (try getting a full T1 from the phone company in a couple days! Yeah right!)
I'm a little curious I haven't heard of them before.
Apparently you can tweak the iTunes visualizer. Not that you'd be messing with that during the work day of course.
Big NASA news conference happening now:
Dr. James Garvin, lead scientist for Mars and lunar exploration at NASA Headquarters, Washington, said, "NASA launched the Mars Exploration Rover mission specifically to check whether at least one part of Mars ever had a persistently wet environment that could possibly have been hospitable to life. Today we have strong evidence for an exciting answer: Yes."So now we just have to get some of the sedimentary rocks back to earth (not part of these missions) and look for the fossils. I wonder if finding proof of "life as we know it" on another planet will be a big story or not.
