iPhone Bill a Whopping 52 Pages Long 369

PoliTech writes "iPhone bills are surprisingly large - 'Xbox Large', according to Ars technica: 'AT&T's iPhone bills are quite impressive in their own right. We're starting to get bills for the iPhone here at Ars, and while many of us have had smartphones for some time, we've never seen a bill like this. One of our bills is a whopping 52 pages long, and my own bill is 34 pages long. They're printed on both sides, too. What gives? The AT&T bill itemizes your data usage whenever you surf the Internet via EDGE, even if you're signed up for the unlimited data plan. AT&T also goes into an incredible amount of detail to tell you; well, almost nothing. For instance, I know that on July 27 at 3:21 p.m. I had some data use that, under the To/From heading, AT&T has helpfully listed as Data Transfer. The Type of file? Data. My total charge? $0.00. This mind-numbing detail goes on for 52 double-sided pages (for 104 printed pages!) with absolutely no variance except the size of the files.' You would think that a data company would have a more efficient billing process."

Comment Re:Not much Philip K. Dick left (Score 1) 425

There where still a couple of bit's left - the presence of the mechanical fake owl in the office for instance. But I don't think that if Deckard followed Wilburism and called in a fake vet to care for his malfunctioning sheep then it would be quite as easy for the audience to question his authenticity. The whole fake police thing would have been pretty difficult to translate to the movie format as well - interesting when it got there though. For the true lack of the Philip K. Dick spirit you probably have to go to Total Recall - surprisingly good film but not really in touch with "We'll Remember It For You Wholesale". PS For the ultimate exploration of his mind have you read "I Am Alive and You Are Dead" by Emmanuel Carrere? Now out in paperback, £5.39 from Amazon UK. Reading it late at night almost managed to convert me to a new religion...

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
