Soooo…How’s That Netflix iPhone Port Coming?

On June 7, John Ciancutti, VP of Personalization Technology for Netflix announced the availability of Netflix for the iPhone “this summer”. A month later, not a word more about the port.

AT&T Rate Restructuring: The Buffet is Closed, Fatass

So AT&T has killed off the unlimited bandwidth plan for new subscribers. TUAW has a nice summary of the changes.

This isn’t a Marxist state, so people should pay for what they use, right? Tell you [...]

A lot of Apple fans are whiners. I suspect that spoon-fed sense of entitlement gets reinforced when your computer does what it’s supposed to do without having to have an advanced degree in comp sci. It breeds a sense of getting what you think you deserve‚ even when the average company would tell you to [...]
