Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ya! I would think, spread it out. Game console as one prize. iPad as another. Gift cards as another. But EVERYTHING? Ya, I entered.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.)

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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]

Trust my rage

What do they mean by tethering?

Using your phone as a laptop modem.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So your options are buy a phone quick, get the unlimited plan, and feel screwed when the shiny new phone comes out on Monday or b, wait for the new phone and get screwed on the plan. Awesome marketing strategy.

Or, wait, C, sit back and wait for the Verizon phone. Well, my decision making just got a lot easier anyway.

I kind of can't believe they're only just introducing tethering.
