THREE dollars is too expensive for a movie?! This blows my mind! What, in your opinion, is a movie worth? Movie rentals at Blockbuster in the 80s were $3 and it amazes me that now, you can get movies without leaving home for the same price. We're talking about half an hour of work at minimum wage. This plan may not make sense for someone like you but if you think 3 bucks for a movie rental is "way" out of line for this service, I believe the market would disagree with you there.
This book has been on sale for two days already. Anyone interested has already read it. You might as well be saying that Bruce Willis is a ghost and Kevin Spacey is Kobayashi.
Ha! So they didn't mind that you had a Mac after all? I want to get FIOS when it's available in my backwater little burg (NYC) and I don't want them to gripe about my having a Mac.
Evidently, AT&T allows any plan (even existing ones) to be used with iPhones, these are just their suggested ones. If your friend has a good deal, that would migrate over to the phone. These rates seem perfectly fair to me in comparison with other wireless companies' rates and the price of the phone is competitive to the HTC you named earlier. How are Apple and AT&T "screwing the fanboys?"
I couldn't build that plan out on the Sprint website. I can get 900 minutes for $59.99 but Unlimited EVDO for that phone is $39.99 (called "Unlimited Data Plan for Phone as Modem"), Insurance is $7 (called "Total Equipment Protection"). That is $106.98 per month by my math.
I assume you get no text messages since you didn't mention that but with Sprint those are 300 for $5 or unlimited for $10. Oh, and of course the phone which (subsidized) is still $400.
FWIW, I can see HBO HD on the firewire port of my Scientific Atlanta 8300 HD in NYC on Time Warner. I know very little about this but I plugged in my Macbook Pro, installed Apple's Firewire SDK and was able to record that content and play it back with no problems.
I was just making a little joke. In fact, my apartment was burglarized recently but my music being pirated by the thieves wasn't high on my list of concerns. I guess my point is that you just can't account for every possible circumstance that's beyond your control.
Mmmm, that's some good paranoia! What about this: you're at home watching a football game and a huge crowd peeks in your window and watches along, without the express written consent of the NFL. Say everyone in this crowd leaves a dollar in your mailbox. You just illegally profited!
Thanks, man. I understand that you were trying to be funny but let's "hit the books" anyway, shall we?
1. Prejudice: "an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics." As demonstrated by your hilarious joke which directs hostility against Alabamians as beer-drunk redneck technophobes.
2. Ignorance: "lack of knowledge, education, or awareness." If I can't use the "joke" as an example twice, what about the lack of education evident in your grammar choices? "Ignorance is assuming you a person is..."
3. Idiocy: "something notably stupid or foolish." Sucking up to slashdot mods, for instance.
Your grammar and spelling in the previous post indicate that, if you are from south (as I am), then you're doing more on your own to perpetuate the ignorant stereotypes than your totally lame joke.
I can't believe I spent this much time on you.

A penknife lightsaber would be great for opening your Wookiee-mail. (Sound it out. RDRR)
I call BS on this. I've never noticed my iPhone updating email when it's off. Can anyone else confirm this?
I didn't read it for predictions, really. It was just entertaining if you kept in mind that it wasn't gospel. I miss it.

No, no, you've got it all wrong! It's: Praise Sony = Mod Down Bash Wii = Mod Down
Yeah but if you got a T3 you could find Sarah Conner in just a matter of days.
Huh? What's with the ad hominem? And what does this have to do with a shiny object in the sky?
What does this even mean? Apple has an evil satellite?
The touch panel is under the glass: http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/
Oh good! I thought to myself that this had really gotten out of control!
Fixing a marketing flunky's error is revisionist?

An unadvertised, negotiated loyalty deal isn't really the same as these AT&T plans.

Can you help us out on how to get your deal?
... I don't know if I want a device that requires two hands to make it useful... Like a Blackberry?Of course, he's building good credit so he can buy a house or car one day.

If you don't like Best By you can always try Sircuit Sity.
