Do you think the internet stresses people out.
I've read on a friends update on facebook that farmville makes them depressed. Do you think there really is too much to do, too much of an overload on the internet that makes people super edgy and stresses them out?

"Data Call Failure" Error Msg With Modem Link Running
After FINALLY getting my HTC Imagio to work with VZW Access Manager so that I could tether it to my Windows 7 laptop and access the Internet when I'm away from home, I find now that an error message keeps popping-up on my phone whenever I start the Modem Link service! The error message says "Data Call Failure" in the title bar and reads: Error Code: 1010 Data service is not available when device is in tethered and Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking mode The only option I am given is "Dismiss" Anybody know what this is and what's causing it? It's not causing any other problem other than being VERY annoying! Can I stop this somehow? Thanks, Dennis

Can’t Tether Imagio With Win 7 – Any Suggestions?!!
I am unable to get my HTC Imagio to connect to my Windows 7 laptop via the USB cable to use it as a modem so I can connect to the Internet while away from home. I have downloaded the latest version (7.3.2.2, 2506b) of VZW Access Manager that shows it provides compatability between my Imagio and Windows 7, but VZW Access Manager STILL refuses to recognize the phone. When I go into my phone and start Modem Link, my laptop indicates that it's installing drivers for my device, but then it always tells me that there was a problem installing them. If I go into device manager, under Other Devices, it lists Generic Serial twice with each having an exclamation point. When I right-click on them and choose Update Driver, then point the update to the "C:Program Files (x86)HTCWModem_InstallerWin7_64" folder, it starts to update the drivers but then tells me there was a problem installing them due to Windows being unable to verify they have the correct digital signature! I have been unable to tether this phone to my laptop for about 4 weeks now (I had NO problems using my previous phone, a Blackberry, as a modem with this PC!) and am my wits end! I am just about ready to take this phone back to Verizon and get something different, but would hate to do that as I otherwise am pretty happy with it! By the way, it connects to Windows Mobile Device Center just fine and syncs with Outlook without any problems whatsoever, but I just cannot get it to tether as a modem to this pC. Does anyone have any suggestions before I return the phone? Thank you, Dennis

Question about memory and smart phones
I would appreciate any help. I am a physician and I basically use by smartphone for work. I have multiple medical applications on the phone. I have used a palm for a long time. I brought a Blackberry Storm. I am now ready for a new phone. The Blackberry storm did not work well for me because it lacked enough memory. Most of my applications use main memory and not the sd card. For my next smartphone I need a lot of main memory. I think the storm has 256. When I reviewed the other phones I like the droid, but the memory issue is confusing to me. They discuss ROM memory RAM memory and flash memory. I already know that the sd card is not very useful for me, but I am unsure which droid has the most "main memory" for my applications. I also like going onto the internet and getting Emails and Text messages on my phone. Which phone is best for me between the palm or droid lines. Thank you

Changes in Internet E-Mails
CHANGES IN INTERNET E-MAIL Just wanted to let you know that the New Homeland Security Bill has passed. Things will be different now and Internet surfing as you know it will be tracked by what the FBI calls a 'nonintrusive method.' The FBI says you will hardly notice anything different. For a demonstration, click on the link below: Homeland Security Be Sure to move your cursor around !

LCD monitor vs LCD television question
I have been thinking of getting a new montior or TV for the computer. I am not sure what the difference would be if instead of a montior I would get a 22" 1080 LCD television instead. The computer is in the spare bedroom. With the TV any company could watch TV without having to have the computer on. Any thoughts of how this might be any different than using a monitor? Would the picture quality be the same - better or worse when on the internet?

Inability To Tether HTC Imagio To Laptop With Windows 7 – NOT Happy!!!
I recently added a new line to my existing service in order to get an HTC Imagio. I had MANY problems with BOTH the Blackberry 9630 Tour and the 8530 Curve and was fed-up with the Blackberry phones, so I decided to try a Windows Mobiloe phone again. Anyway, Imagine my surprise when I got the phone and installed all the software, including VZ Access Manager, only to find that I was unable to tether the Imagio to my laptop as I could with the Blackberrys because my laptop has Windows 7 and there are currently NO drivers for the Imagio to use it with Windows 7!! I was stunned when I discovered this - how long have BOTH Windows 7 AND the Imagio been out?!! I drive a tractor-trailer for a living and need to be able to connect my laptop to the Internet to do banking, check maps for locations of my deliveries, etc - this is TOTALLY inexcusable!! Nowhere on Verizon's website or in there stores did it state that you could NOT use this phone as a modem with a Windows 7 PC. VZW customer service directed me to the VZW Access Manager website so that I could watch for the release of the drivers, which was targeted for "mid of April, 2010" Well, I have been unable to connect to the Internet for much of the last week due to travelling with my job, but I got on tonight and checked the status of the Imagio's Windows 7 driver, and guess what?!! It now simply states "check back for availability", and the HTC Incredible is now the FIRST HTC smartphone to have a Windows 7 driver - **bleep**?!! Wasn't that phone just recently released and hasn't the Imagio been out for some time now? C'mon Verizon, your customer support REALLY sucks - how about supporting products that people ALREADY have in their hands FIRST?!! To see that they've released Windows 7 drivers for the Incredible BEFORE the Imagio or Touch Pro2 has just got me fed-up and I'm seriously considering returning the Imagio and cancelling my other 3 lines and going over to Sprint!! Hey, Verizon - can you hear me NOW?!!
