Not quite what you asked, but here's a great deal on a smartphone---sms, talk, Internet---plan. 19USD all-you-can-eat-no-nagging-powerusers plan from Republic.
AN Android smartphone with unlimited calls, unlimited texting, unlimited data and no contract, all for $19 a month? Really?
When I first saw this offer from Republic Wireless, I rubbed my eyes and looked for an asterisk leading to fine print that detailed a huge catch. But Republic, a division of a telecom company called Bandwidth.com, delivers exactly what it advertises. It can do so because the handset technology is a curious hybrid: it uses Wi-Fi when the customer is in a Wi-Fi area and Sprint Nextelâ(TM)s 3G network when it is not.
The concept brings together the best of two worlds: the low cost of voice calls carried over the Internet and the convenience of making calls to any phone number using a major carrierâ(TM)s cellular network when Wi-Fi isnâ(TM)t available.
You need their $250 Motorola DEFY XT dual wi-fi/talk purchase to partake. However, they say they're working on a luxe smartphone offering!

*HAHAHA* You make a funny. You are so bright, in your own mind, right, YET, right now, do you leave the 99% of places where you shop---where---you---are subsidizing the CC users when you pay cash?! That is right, you are secretly forced to pay more than you deserve. (I root for this development. Let the CC users pay for the pleasure of plastic payment. BTW, this is not a new issue, I've been reading about these visa/mc shenanigans for years in the NY Times. Reportedly, debit-with-PINs is the way to play the cc-networks against themselves, as they require a token small transaction payment but no % addendum. But, people hate entering pins, so mc/visa win again.)
WTF ever do you mean, you ask! Presently, everyone is being charged the same price, whether you use credit or cash, which means, the cash users are paying for your CC fees! Or, what, do you think that vendors are altruistic! Forget that.
When was the last time you saw `pay cash, and get a discount?'
BTW, here in NYC, gasOline stations add a CC surcharge, ever since the Great Recession began! I dunno wtf the OP is talking about about that shit not going down in NY.

IOW: When was the last time a USN carrier battle group was used to _intimidate_ an adaversary nation and _affect_ geopolitical change?
Ask North Korea, Iran or China. Nations which have fits when the USN starts throwing naval warfare games with their frenemies. Carriers must be doing something to the cretin nations.
I doubt it! NPR's Radio Lab had spoke on this recently. The best science can do is predict probability. Likelihood your nose, iris, cheekbones will look like X rather than Y.
? Not to pick yo out, but, why do you? Every other post some d00d will say the same, but, you know what, why? I don't let anything running for long periods. Well, save two things that I always "hack" to clean up after it's "leaks;" my dog, my refrigerator O! and and my alarm clock. Dasit.

Even if the 54.5 m.p.g. goal is reached, most cars and trucks will get lower mileage in real-life driving. Credits for air-conditioning units in vehicles will reduce the average mileage to about 49 m.p.g., and actual driving conditions could reduce it further.

Google, go lobby Merkel's CDU, the Bundestag/rat for the right to charge German websites' indexing fees! Make the fees/indexing opt out, too. It's for their own good, your bottom line, that Myface competition is killing your margins. You need help, just like the German publishers do.

This has all been discussed ad naseum. What's new to add, to discover? Naught. WTF: To recapitulate. Add value. The freaking NY Times is chock full of value; believe it or not, weeks, months before an issue of tactic, strategy, tech, business is broached here on the dot it has been purviewed in the Times from a holistic perspective.

And in this `new world' of free (gratis, no) news, cratered publishers, if shit rules the day then a market for quality news will rise anew. WTF redux.*sigh* The market, man, it works, it's just a lot of old dudes, entrenched dudes panicking: re-mobilize your business plans! Fin.

Amazon's rules say it is perfectly alright to review a book/product you have neither read nor used. FYI.

Except many fast numerous cheap Iranian launches and missile shooting boats in the narrow ~Arabian (Persian) Gulf~. Don't exaggerate, squid dick. ^.^
when it fails too fast, of course.

So, it's deja vu all over again. We need robotic-car drivers with The Right Stuff, and "not monkeys in a tin box!"
That is a paraphrase of the 1990's M$ antitrust verdict:
Being a monopoly is not illegal (cf. Ma Bell, Google). However, abusing your monopoly power to squelch competition is illegal.

I gather that (#40669485) & (#40669597) are you. Wao! man, you're blowing my mind!!!
If even half of what you say is true, what a cluster fuck. What is David Pogue, and other reputable tech. pundits talking, raving about?!
Can I get a witness on his points, anyone?
