Either they will fire you soon anyway or outsource you, or, you will be even angrier and wind up quitting under worse terms than before. At best, at the very best you can consider coming back as a contractor a-la IBM 'outplacements' if you really have to. It's always for far less money and they use you up like candy in a vending machine. But at least the fuck-you relationship is out in the open. Like we used to say in the CCCP "We pretend to work they pretend pay us."
Refuse to have an exit interview. I refused to tell them where I was going to or even if I had another job at all. Never put it past your former employer to contact them and talk shit about you, threaten to sue them make non compete noises etc anything. They didn't care if you lived or died when you worked for them they're only looking to screw you over now. And in fact, if you're going to somewhere else vaguely related to what you used to do, it's GOOD for them to continue to fail and screw up. Let them do more of that or at least be clueless. Because they are shit, so fuck them with a radioactive knife to the eye.
And fading fast. With any luck AT&T and Verizon will be the only wireless companies in the US soon and prices will skyrocket as service sinks to war torn African nation quality. In the meantime cable providers like Time Warner are debating how to offer slower service at higher prices and with even worse uptime stats.
I thought they had strategized the paradigm to move everything to tabletspace vitally interlinked to all social media all the time. Laptops are so 3 minutes ago.
Just like 'progressives' the other terrorist cheerleaders you can't impress them with satire or irony because they don't understand that. Better to just erase them all from the face of the earth.
Not to worry. Sprint will get it 40% rolled out to about 8-10 metro areas - most which today are in Texas, Missouri and Georgia. And then it will do what Sprint does best. Fail, screw it up and slowly kill it.
As a long time Sprint customer I can tell you that 3G is a zero point zero bps joke, WiMax never got rolled out and my 'area' isn't scheduled for LTE until the end of 2013 which in practice means a tiny sliver of coverage maybe sometime in 2014. I live in a metro area of over a million people in the second largest city of North Carolina.
Wait and see they'll be endless screeds and hate speech about 'people using those damn things everywhere'. They'll be new laws preventing people from wearing them while driving. People getting banned from restaurants and movie theaters and endless endless articles about how Mother Government must crush them all under her boot heel forever.
Now THAT'S productive. Because having to juggle Open Office, Office 2003 and 2007 aren't enough. Now we need a UI for an Office suite that purports to not require any physical input at all.
Yes. Corporate refreshes are nonexistent now. If you work for a big company like IBM your primary workstation is probably 4+ years old and not slated for replacement for another year.
State governments are built to screw this kind of thing up. They'll wind up letting insurance companies charge 10x the premiums for them and decide that as a result of self driving cars, a speeding ticket is now a million dollar fine and 10 years in jail. Plus it will cost $10,000 to get your car inspected and you'll have to hire a state employee 'expert' to ride along in the car.
That everything will of course be in the cloud-social media collective. They have determined you don't want or need a functioning email client. And the scales will fall from the eyes of the usual fanbois and cheerleaders who suddenly gush with the paid for epiphany that Redmond was right all along and a new paradigm of computing is upon us.

If there were zero stars I would do that.
60" phones. Turbo diesel! 4 wheel drive!!!!!
because all the office heavy lifting will be done on dinky litter devices w/o keyboards.
If you mean half the cars in Palo Alto, maybe. But you're forgetting about China, South Korea, Japan, India, Brazil, Pakistan and all of Africa.

We identify with the Zuckerberg peaceful ruler of the 9 galaxies. All hail facebook. All hail.

The Sprint network of 25 years from now will be the same shit at the one today. Except it will cost more.

She hit the glass ceiling and left.

As long as you feel that this is the proper role of the 'news'. Fine. It's all good.
I was worried that MSNBC wouldn't be able to be a fully functioning arm of the White House.
Get CASH. Not stock.
Just because a bunch of suits cruise in telling you you won the lottery doesn't mean you don't check THEM out too. Seriously.
They're returning to everything being on the web. They just call it something different now.

Does it come with its own bottle of Crystal?

Look around you, budgets are tight.
