Submission + - Angry AT&T customers may disrupt service 1

g0dsp33d writes: Fake Steve Jobs, the alter-alias of Newsweek's Dan Lyons, is calling disgruntled AT&T users to protest comments from AT&T’s Ralph de la Vega that smart phone (specifically iPhone) usage is responsible for their network issues and his plan to end unlimited data plans. The post, dubbed "Operation Chokehold" wants AT&T customers to use as much data service as they can on Friday, December 19th at noon.

While Fake Steve Jobs is notable for its satire, many Twitter and Facebook users seem to be rallying to its cry. It is unclear if there will be enough support to cause a DDOS.

Submission + - Amazon opens video store

g0dsp33d writes: Amazon opened the doors on its new "Video On Demand" service. Some promotional videos are free and the quality seems to be good. Purchasing allows downloads to two machines and unlimited viewing online. There is also "rentals" for movies.

The service claims 14.5k movies and 1200 TV shows including pre-purchasing the rights to upcoming seasons.

Considering alternate adbased free online video sites such as Hulu is this service too pricey?
