Not so rare. Same thing's been happening to New York University for a decade or two with suicides in the library's high floors. I can quote statistics, clumps, per capita, voodoo, whatever. But it's not "an unbelievably rare event." Even we Americans do it, for crissakes!

The problem with the N1 is that there is no value in it. Nothing indispensable about it.

It was rumored that rather than antagonize the carriers, their partners to be, their future by competing in their bailiwick -- voice/voice-data plans -- Google would partner with the likes of downtrodden Sprint, prepaid phone companies that resell the bandwidth of VZW, say, MetroPCS types and offer an Android phone with ONLY a data plan. Unheard of in the cell industry. VOIP, and data the thinking went would draw the digirati, and Google's web offerings would seduce the rest. Nothing came of the rumors. I think it's a brilliant idea, and I would for one buy an Android phone, with a sub $50 monthly data plan, and use it and Google services with abandon. I do now! Fuck, you should hear me scream at my Garmin, or Google 411's dolt AI when I can't find what I'm looking for quickly enough. I like, I consume their ads, shit I disable ABP, NoScript, and other shit on their properties because I want the ads.

>>> if you pay full price, you could get $20 / month off the t-mobile plans for people who are not on 2 year contracts, that worked out to be less than getting the 2 year plan over 2 years. >>>
Time and again I hear shit like this over the last 3-5 years that one day I called t-mobile, 2.5 years after my 1 year contract expired to get off a 1,000 minutes, no roaming fee, long distance included plan I was on that I barely cracked 50 minutes a month on. I was summarily told downgrading to the $29 low minutes plan I wanted required entering a contract! Even though I did not want a free phone, my current working phone was fine, and I was out of contract and free to walk away, AND, just the past month when I inquired it was possible to downgrade just as I wanted. No can do, came the reply. What about the unadvertised bring your own phone, no contract, higher cost sometimes plans I hear my friend Slashdot always mention. No such thing, sir, I was told. Told twice by diffferent reps, on different days!
That was late 2008, early 2009. I was told to sign up for the prepaid tmobile offerings at shitty, gotcha, fine print rates. I had read that night in the newspaper how it costs cell carriers 200-300 dollars to acquire new customers, and I mentioned it to the rep, she couldn't have cared less. Have you actually called tmobile lately to get the rates, plans you mention? I couldn't find a way to downgrade then either online, or via customer service operator. Frankly when it comes to cell plans I don;'t believe 90% of the plan talk I hear you guys fling around. I checked, your citations failed. Caveat lector.

Hate to break the news to you, but that sentiment is simply untrue.
Television has been bleeding ad revenue, en masse, to Google search and others for years. Newspapers, OTA-TV, CTV all hate the new medium for stealing their lunch.
Nielsen/Arbitron?, the TV ratings company has or will supplant their statistical sampling extrapolation ratings estimates. Why? Advertisers find the numbers fuzzy, subjective, reliant on voluntary/truthful participants (bad). Online search. Google ad* services gives them (advertisers/google customers) a precision that pale Nielsen's numbers. If Google numbers are facts, Nielsen's are guesses. Advertisers want facts whenever possible.
In fact, radio audience ratings are shallow as well. To wit, recent tests showed that listeners under-/mis- report their music, i.e., their station choices non trivially, something like 20, 30% points. Classical station listeners reported, say, a 90%+ classic station patronage, but electronic listening devices installed in their vehicles showed that a large proportion of these same listeners in fact had a ~50-60% classical to 30-40% rock music patronage. Stations, and in fact the big networks were blown away by these unexpected numbers as they in most cases impacted their ad rates. How come? Turns out as well that a lot of other misconceptions appeared. LIke? Rock suffered to norteno music, or salsa, or other ethnic music stations. Changing demographics, gentlemen.
So you are wrong, I am not sorry to tell you. Terrestrial Radio is a wasteland, has been for me my entire life. It didn't have punk, hard core, metal, speed metal, fusion/progressive jazz, Hindu, south asian, tropicalismo, HKPop, JPop, Kpop, Trance, Techno, or any other shit that wasn't the same. I have listened, to a college radio station (I'm guessing) play a repetitive drone of a Japanese phrase (no, not phillip glass)- unanmi, unami, unami - for fifteen minutes and find relief from hysterical DJs about the weather and all taking another call. My gf stares at me in disbelief and wonders how I can joyfully tolerate such welcome discoveries. My refrain, a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g different is good.
