    How did iPhone cause the same problem for Eric Schmidt at Google I/O? He also had onstage Wi-Fi demos fail and had to ask attendees to shut off their Mi-Fi’s.

    The Wi-Fi specs say 1 base station every 50 to 100 meters, max. Not 50 base stations every 100 meters.

    There is something really unhealthy going on with the nerd hatred of Apple lately. There was a guy challenging the idea that 300 dpi is the point where the jaggies go away because Jobs said it. But that is an ancient magic number, it goes back to laser printing. Almost all print artwork is done at 300 dpi. The introduction of the first 300+ dpi display has been anticipated for 20 years or more. There are tech people bending over backwards to prove Jobs wrong on anything. They’re like a nerd tea party who just can’t accept that Jobs won.

    Have Keynote 09 and find it superior to anything else.

    […] By Ed Oswald  |  Posted at 3:25 pm on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Over the past few weeks, I have been considering a mobile broadband solution. My reasoning is two-fold: I’d like a backup in case my regular connection fails–Comcast here has become somewhat spotty as of late–and something for when I’m on the road at a conference and don’t want to depend on the available Wi-Fi, which is sometimes unreliable.
