It's possible that store might rethink some of its policies.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The thing is, the store had been robbed before. That's why they had a security guard on duty. Except that the security guard didn't do anything once the thieves indicated that they were carrying guns.

For some people Apple loyalty only goes so far.

We have started the learning process for the transition from our crappy e-mail server-provider to GoogleApps! Squee! Of course, the first round of video's is about dealing with Microsoft Exchange, and exporting contacts and calendar. As a Mac user, doesn't really apply to me. But it is fun to see how crazy it is. You'd think Google would write a widget that would run an exe file to automate the tasks.

AT&T responds to iPhone MMS hoopla with a video explaining why they are delayed in letting iPhones do MMS: [link]
What they don't answer for me is, how come OTHER AT&T phones can MMS, but the iPhone can't?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, my prime suspect for the fucked-up fan is indeed the fucked-up fan. It's clearly dying; I can stop it with a pencil and the noise stops and the noise returns as soon as it starts up.
I measured it, and it looks to be 90 mm. Do I have to get a fan with the same dimensions? I figure I do or else the screws won't be in the right place, right? I found one on Newegg for three bucks that looks just like the piece of crap that's in my computer already, so hey.

I'm 99% certain it's not CAN'T, but MUSTN'T BE ALLOWED TO.
The strain on the data structure for AT&T because of the various iPhones is enormous. MMS would make it melt down. I'm almost certain - but not QUITE (because, after all, I can't know, not being a decision-maker at AT&T) - that this is a totally-artificial excuse.

It is, and you know why? Because every picture I *would* be sending via MMS, I send now via email or ShoZu instead. The pixels are still being transferred over the EXACT SAME NETWORK. The data load excuse is a good one for why 5 bars sometimes means no reception. It is BULLSHIT for MMS.
