Why do they need more people like this? From the article I read it sounds like he has other options, this guy isn't living in the middle of rural Kansas, he's in hollywood, CA.

“Your competitors now have speeds of over 200Mbps,” Epstein wrote in his ad. “Why is AT&T, a leading communications company, treating us so shabbily in North Hollywood?"

He's a crackpot that would rather spend thousands instead of having to call another company and kicking AT&T to the curb.

I think there is more behind the scenes there. Apple CEO is on the President's advisory board, sees that Tariffs will at some point make Apple less profitable. The bargaining chip he has is, we make this computer in the US. If we stop making it in the US, then when negotiating for exemptions on the tariffs we can say we'll bring that manufacturing back to the US. Trump and Cook both can be "Winners" while in reality nothing has changed.

I can't believe they are going to put caps on monthly BW. I am paying for 100Mb/s. Or... My ping times when everyone gets home and starts streaming netflix are terrible.

Too bad this didn't happen in China. Apple would be jumping to unlock the phone. I always shake my head when Apple gets on their soap box about encryption and how they stand up for freedom / privacy, yet will bend over when it comes down to impacting profits.

** Not saying that I think Apple should un-encrypt the phone, or that they shouldn't. I think it's more nuanced than that, but just hate the "Yay Apple" while in most situations its all about what will make them the most profit.

This seems like a perfect strategy for a group of musicians mad that apple / spotify / etc are all not making them enough money.

1. Start a streaming service
2. Release exclusive albums
3. Wait to be bought
4. PROFIT!

Yet another vote for McMaster. I bought quite a few pieces parts from them when I was building a oversozed go-kart dune buggy a couple years back.

baileynet.com/ is another good place for bearings, and flanges which can be combined to make most things mobile. They had the best prices when I was searching for AXLE bearings, and you have to sign up as a company (much like ordering from dell small business, uhh.. yeah. ALAN INC.).

There used to be some good surplus places which had old army surplus generators and the like, which may be scavenged, but I cant remember the site name.
