I envision a beautiful display like this made by a group of nerds (we know who we are) and set up at, say, Kapioloani Park, for evening performances. Maybe just for Christmas, maybe for other times of the year with various kinds of music. Kind of a flash-mob approach. Set it up, do the show, take it down, all in one (each) evening.</p>

<p> We have been using sprint air-cards on the 3g network for a few years but are not satisfied with the speed..Do any of you have advice on a 4g device for Oahu primarily and Mainland use from time to time?</p>

Should we have to purchase one though?

I recently bought a Novatel U760 USB dongle from Mobi to use their Hele service. It's basically internet access over a 3G cell modem, as I understand it. Lawrence Lee has mentioned it several times here.<br/><br/>I have until Thursday to return it, and after yesterday, there's a good chance that I will. I'm not sure if I have a defective device or what, but it disconnects VERY frequently. I tried it in my new apartment high up on the side of the valley in Manoa (wondering if this matters, though I thought it would help, not hurt -- I get great cell phone reception up there), and the longest it would stay connected last night was about 17 minutes and during the day, maybe as many as 30-60 minutes, but I wasn't paying as much attention then.<br/><br/>When it does work, the throughput and latency are fine with me: up to 150KB/s and local latency as low as 150ms with the avg around 220ms probably (to LavaNet or UH machines), but the frequent disconnects are killer.<br/><br/>I've tried it with a Macbook (Leopard/10.5) and various laptops running Ubuntu 10.04 (using both KPPP and Network Manager), Windows XP, and Windows 7. All with identical behavior. After looking through /var/log/daemon.log in LInux and, additionally, OS X's error console, the device is clearly switching state and appears to be independent of drivers, etc.<br/><br/>Any stories/experiences? <br/><br/>Please include time/place that you're using it.<br/><br/>I'm going to go somewhere out of the valley tonight and test more.<br/> 2010 Year of Tablet PCtag:www.techhui.com,2010-01-27:1702911:Topic:556552010-01-27T20:20:31.017ZRuss Ogihttp://www.techhui.com/profile/Russ

So lately I've been looking at Ebook readers because the prospect of having all your books on one device seems pretty cool especially since I just moved to Hawaii and don't want to accumulate a bunch of clutter. I then started to look into the Amazon's 'Kindle2' and the new Barnes and Noble 'Nook'. Both look pretty awesome. Any Nook or Kindle2 users out there? Does anyone have any preference?
