for those not on the ThinkGeek mailing list:
The Ultimate Geek Dad giveaway
* Choice of game system (Xbox, PS3 slim, or Wii--sorry, no cash equivalents or other platforms available)
* $100 Gift card from Gamestop to load up on games
* 16GB iPad with wi-fi
* $100 iTunes gift card for appage
* Signed copy of Ken Denmead's GeekDad book
* GeekDad t-shirt
* $500 ThinkGeek gift certificate (you know, just in case)
All of this loot goes to the grand prize winner, who doesn't technically have to be a father.
Ya! I would think, spread it out. Game console as one prize. iPad as another. Gift cards as another. But EVERYTHING? Ya, I entered.
I entered Dan. He is looking at the catalog right now. It's very cute. (He said I could have the iPad if he won.)
how sweet. Will he let you play the game console?
Oh, yes. But I will graciously cede that to him, since he is way more into than I. And we have a Wii, which is more fun for me.
He would, however, have to buy me several t-shirts and the titanium spork from ThinkGeek.
Ooooo! That spork is made of awesome! I was given one several years ago. Awesome for camping. And great in the lunch bucket.
Steve Jobs kinda sorta admits that the iPhone is coming to Verizon in late summer: [link]
AT&T has announced that they're getting rid of their unlimited data plan, and replacing it with a 2GB capped plan: [link] (including the iPad).
This is all effective June 7, when it looks like the new iPhone for AT&T will be released.

ACK! NO!
[eta: Looks like it may be for new customers only, though -
Current smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans]
What do they mean by tethering?
