Good. There are WAY too many people involved in this company that don't know how to operate in customer service. I'm convinced that no one in the company actually knows anyone else in the company. This exists on multiple levels, consumer/cell/business/fiber. Flashlights wouldn't help them finding their way through an email chain. It's embarrassing that one of the biggest companies in the world can't operate efficiently, OR provide their customers with a quality product, OR provide their customers with additional service to meet the demand (at full price, I'm not even trying to negotiate down here). Washed up, no clue, deal with it. They need a come to Jesus moment. It's unfortunate that they have such a stranglehold on the amount of markets that they do. Hell, their flagship consumer stores don't even answer the phone. This is a telecommunications company....

High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover 646

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 15, 2010 @07:55PM from the same-great-taste dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With its sweetener linked to obesity, some cancers and diabetes, the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) doesn't want you to think 'fructose' when you see high fructose corn syrup in your soda, ketchup or pickles. Instead, the AP reports, the CRA submitted an application to the FDA, hoping to change the name of their top-selling product to 'corn sugar.'"

Unknown 7m Asteroid Almost Impacted Earth 289

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday November 10, 2009 @03:21PM from the just-passing-by dept.

xp65 writes "A previously undiscovered asteroid came within 14,000 km of Earth — just over one Earth diameter, 1/30 the lunar distance — on Friday, and astronomers noticed it only 15 hours before closest approach. On Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST, a 7-meter asteroid, now called 2009 VA, came only about 2 Earth radii from impacting our planet. This is the third-closest known non-impacting Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid. The asteroid was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey and was quickly identified by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge MA as an object that would soon pass very close to the Earth. JPL's Near-Earth Object Program Office also computed an orbit solution for this object, and determined that it was not headed for an impact." The article notes, "On average, objects the size of 2009 VA pass this close about twice per year and impact Earth about once every 5 years."
