The governments idea of security is the TSA. I'd hate to see what the internet equivalent would be.

It's not "roadside assistance" it's a "Rescue Wagon"!
California is already over 2 billion short on the budget this year and is long overdue for a serious financial wake-up call.
Hope all the other states are taking notes on "what not to do"... Projects like the "high speed" rail just dump gas on the fire.
Way to go spendthrift voters of California!
At the rate we're going we won't have gas money for our helicopters let alone money to equip them with the latest technology... and thats probably a good thing.
Skynet on the other hand has no funding issues... money is just numbers on a computer after all.
...technology for skynet to use when hunting us in the future. Keep up the good work!
Not if you had kept your Media Net plan from 6+ years ago. My data plan was $15/mo for unlimited data.
I told them as much when I called them... their response "we can modify the contract, it's in the contract you signed" or something to that effect. What they're doing is illegal IMO, but who can/will hold them accountable? Some days I wish I was a lawyer with the time and money.
My wife used her upgrade discount to surprise me with an iPhone4 on my birthday. I started using it and within 2 weeks ATT sent me an email stating that they had "upgraded" my account from my Unlimited data plan to their 2GB iPhone data plan and my bill went up by $15/mo. I'd cancel but I'm still on a contract and would get shafted with a termination fee... called att and complained but it was a waste of time, they've got me on the hook and they know it. F-U AT&T!!!
I personally decided that cable was no longer worth the cost especially since you can get OTA HD channels for free and the funny thing is that it seems like OTA channels actually have LESS ads than most of the cable channels!
The "tallying small data usage" theory is garbage... however I'm not surprised your iPhone is spying on you and reporting back to it's mothership (aka Apple)
I saw a television ad for this game last week! Too bad they're pulling it... I'm not a huge gamer but new FPS games always get my attention and I would have bought it.
