The true test of my USB broadband connection was when I triumphantly returned to my stomping grounds at Zzyzx Road on the way to this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, took a picture, and uploaded it live two minutes thereafter. The only reason the transfer from camera to Internet was not instantaneous was because I had to [...] I got my wife an iPod Touch (the iPhone without the useless phone) for Christmas. She has so far refused to pick it up, look at it, or even sniff it when I thrust it at her (we’re still talking about the iPod).
