I have three cell phones. My wife and I use anywhere from .5 to 1.5 GB of data a month each. My 17 yo daughter on the other hand, 14-18 GB a month, mostly cause she is on it 24/7 and streams music when she is out.. I was on the 18GB plan and bumped it to the 20GB plan for another 20/month cause she kept going over. Screamed about it till I was blue in the face. nothing. Got the family manager and locked her down to 14 GB a month. when the lock went in she wasn't able to text to all her Group Messages and blew a gasket!.. So yes, it is very easy to use 24GB of data.. Imagine adding two more teens to my situation...LOL

I still work in banking and I believe it's not still required, but a lot of banks still enforce it. I do enjoy the two weeks off though!

By the way, did you get the memo? We have new covers for the TPS reports. So if you could go ahead and start using them, that'd be great...

Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80

Posted by samzenpus on Friday March 29, 2013 @04:06AM from the new-look dept.

DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."
