From Google’s blog post on their joint proposal (with Verizon) for an “open internet”:
…we both recognize that wireless broadband is different from the traditional wireline world, in part because the mobile marketplace is more competitive and changing rapidly. In recognition of the still-nascent nature of the wireless broadband marketplace, under this proposal we would not now apply most of the wireline principles to wireless, except for the transparency requirement.
I’m not sure that I agree that wireless broadband is any different from wired broadband. Keeping the two separate will only lead to more deals like Skype for Android only on Verizon. So much for “open”.
Update: Just stumbled upon this fun website showing a PSA that Google put out back in 2006 on what would happen if “AT&T and Verizon have their way”: http://vooglewireless.com/

Things is currently my weapon of choice for GTD, but I feel like the developers are taking a bit too much time to implement promised features (i.e. cloud syncing). I’ve heard lots of good things about OmniFocus, but since the price of entry is so high, I want to get some more input on it before making the plunge.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback from users of either program in the comments section of this post. If you use a different app, please feel free to share it as well!
Thanks in advance for your input.

I recently discovered 5by5.tv, an internet broadcasting network founded by Dan Benjamin that offers an array of podcasts on tech. The ones I’ve had a chance to listen to thus far are excellent:
A talk show featuring discussions with special guests, the latest tech and development news, and your calls. The show is streamed live every Wednesday at 1:00PM ET, and then released as audio and video podcasts. 
The Pipeline is an interview show, featuring in-depth conversations with innovators, designers, geeks, newsmakers, entrepreneurs, and people who create amazing things.
The Talk Show features discussion about technology, Apple, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the web. Recorded live on Wednesdays at 1:00PM ET.
I just finished the first episode of The Talk Show yesterday, which features John Gruber of Daring Fireball as a co-host. If you’re into technology and the web, I definitely recommend that you check out what 5by5.tv has to offer.
