Thanks anyway for the comment - I guess we wait to see if Nike works out the kinks! Hey Run Boy,

I tried this today but to no avail.

Thanks anyway for the comment – I guess we wait to see if Nike works out the kinks!

I've found that if you reset the watch (hold the up key and the green button until it resets) before each run and just before you plug it into the computer it should work. Thanks Hi Davey, we’re having the same problem too.

I'd love to know what's going on at Nike HQ. Really poor form - unless of course I'm doing something wrong? Nike? As of 28th March it appears that no maps of runs are being uploaded by my watch.

Should Japan be allowed to eat whale at all? Are whales intelligent? (http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=are-whales-smarter-than-we-are) Are we a big bunch of hypocrites for eating just about everything that moves, *except* whales, dolphins and monkeys, whilst also having scant regard for the very place whales call their home - the ocean? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jul/08/japan-international-whaling-commission No doubt, the diversion of tsunami relief funds to support the whale hunt is scandalous from our perspective. One wonders what's behind it though. Why are they so hell-bent on maintaining the hunt? I suspect the answer lies in basic food security. They have China looming on their doorstep, and no doubt looking to take control of much of Japan's traditional fishing grounds. In the face of dwindling fish stocks globally (especially tuna http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/can-shoppers-save-the-tuna-20100407-rrf3.html), a historically highly focussed diet (fish and rice!) and incredibly limited space, what is Japan to do? Increase food imports, fight China for fishing waters? There's nowhere to invade anymore, so my guess is they look to whaling to provide some relief. Sure, we may revolt against that, but at what cost to Japan? Are we going to fish less so they can fish more? Are we going to reduce the cost of beef and rice imports to Japan? Unless we alter our fishing habits drastically, fish are going to become more scarce for everyone, especially countries like Japan http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1880128,00.html, and concentrated sources of protein will become a real problem. The entire thing is a complicated argument, with no easy answer. One thing I don't and will never advocate however, is inhumane killing. Methods of whale slaughter can largely be categorised as inhumane, by anyone's standards. http://www.whales.org.au/policies/methods.html. We demand better treatment for our cattle, and I would certainly advocate more political pressure on Japan to improve its slaughtering methods, if it is to continue hunting whales. Whether or not is should continue hunting whales, is an argument that is so murky as to be essentially unanswerable at this point. Unless of course, you're a vegetarian. http://vegetariantalk.com/news/why-protest-eating-whales-people-eat-cows-all-time The whaling argument is a fascinating one.

That way you could make some objective decisions about who to go with. Is there a tool that will tell you what the signal strength is going to be on the various carriers?

I reckon they realise that I'm unlikely to move all of my services. That said I still think it's poor that they expect us to gamble our hard earned on their services. I'd love for them to show some good faith. At this rate it's not looking good. Thanks for your comments Mobilow.
