Underhanded Sprint Tactics
Published on 2010-05-23 20:23:54
In somewhat of a disappointing move, Sprint's new EVO 4G phone will come with some strings attached - specifically a $10 premium data charge. When inquired about this fee, Sprint reps recite a canned statement: The $10 Premium Data fee is for the rich data experience that HTC EVO provides. Mr. Hesse described it best when he described the EVO experience like going from regular TV to a High Definition TV. HTC EVO’s features are custom made for data-loving customers. Except that, straight from

Ah, Rober Sarver...Congratulations on tainting sports by mixing in a dash of politics.You've heard of oil and water, right? By doing this, I sincerely hope your team loses San Antonio Spurs. People don't watch sports for political opinions - we watch it for entertainment and to escape the harsh realities of a partisan world. Bravo! You've created a new jersey to "take a stand" on the issue, in what can only be conceived as a cheap and offensive marketing ploy. First, you show an amazing lack of
A History Lesson

Recently, in my quest for knowledge, I picked up a 932 page book titled A Patriot's History of the United States - From Columbus's Great Discovery To The War On Terror which is a nice play on words of the book A People's History of the United States, in which America is more oft criticized, rather than praised. While only in the second chapter, I see parallels to what is happening today, and why some of my non-American friends don't understand things here both socially and economically: "The fi
Glenn Beck's Keynote Speech at CPAC

Someone at Vimeo was kind enough to upload the video in its entirety. While I might normally ignore CPAC, I made sure to catch Beck's speech. For those of you that spew hatred at Beck - typically for simply being on Fox News or disagreeing with Obama - this is a must watch. Both parties are to blame for the fiscal irresponsibility. Common sense is crucial. There is no blind hate being pushed by Beck, only a desire to learn from history and past mistakes.

Calculated Risk posted their weekly summary and a look ahead for next week with two troubling charts.First, the percent of jobs lost - not unemployment rate - is hovering around 5.2%, making it the worst of any recession since figures were recorded in 1948. That is to say, that this recession has had the most dramatic effect on our work force. Second, and perhaps more troubling, is the statistic of workers unemployed for more than 26 weeks. Currently, the percentage of unemployed for this long i

No, I'm not agreeing with Noam Chomsky...for those of you who even know who Chomsky is. In my daily news, I stumbled upon an article in which Chomsky compares the right wing media to "Nazis." The article was unimportant and meaningless, but a comment summed up the climate of the nation. There are those that speak out against government, and those who are embracing the government, trying to paint the anti-government crowd as illiterate, backwards thinking hicks.

Sure, you thought that things were looking better - undefeated and in the top 25, with players finally buying in to Rich Rodriguez's philosophies and putting past controversies behind them. The loss to MSU today probably stings, but you'lve got something to look forward to, and that is the man in the picture - QB Tate Forcier.

Milton Friedman explains the intricacies of Socialism vs Capitalism, and why the latter is better, all while making Phil Donahue look like a fool in the process.

A tale of two poems, one embraces socialism, one capitalism. It is pretty obvious where I stand, but take a look...The first one is a real poem from 1906 distributed to spread socialism.
