This is horrible news for ChaCha. They currently pay their guides $0.10 for every question answered and $0.20 per question for Top Guides. I used to question their business model, wondering how much money could really be made from advertisement on their website alone. However, for the past week or so they've been running advertisements for the McDonald's Monopoly game in all the question responses instead of a link to more information about the question.
But $0.03 is a pretty big hit. I wonder if they will take the hit themselves or pass it off to the guides by cutting their payments.
It would be interesting to see how much of those problems might be the result of the Verizon firmware. If they are as popular overseas as this article claims, then surely the non-Verizon version doesn't have as many severe problems as the ones you are having.
Epic Movie wasn't even screened for critics, so that makes it kind of hard to have a proper rating on opening day. Try rottentomatoes; it gives Epic Movie a not-so-epic 2%.

Also, Verizon sucks.
I think they went a little overboard by including the guy with the beard. That shit is nuts.

My $120 Canon digital camera does it too.

Why would anyone at a hackers convention do anything online without using an SSH Tunnel in the first place? These people should know better.
