NYC Trip
I've added a slideshow to the right -->
It shows some of what my recent NYC trip was like through the eyes of a cell phone camera! It was a really fun trip, hopefully I can go back again and see even more sights.

A Little Upsetting
So...I read in the news that, Timewarner Cable is actually going to start testing charging people for their internet usage instead of giving people unlimited as they have for a decade. One of my biggest annoyances with cell phone carriers is that they limit you to "minutes". Even more so, if I make a call that's dropped by THEIR towers, I get charged for that whole minute, rather than oh say 4 seconds.
Now, cell phone companies are starting to push forward "unlimited" plans. Sure they may cost a little more, but they're going towards it. It looks like internet service providers are going backwards instead. What's even worse is that compared to most of the rest of the world, we pay more for slower speeds when it comes to internet service.
I've said it over and over again, but Telecommunication Companies have a stranglehold on the consumer, and it's completely allowed by our government. In the same way the oil companies have a stranglehold on us, these telecommunication companies pretty much say "jump" and the consumer has to respond with "yes master". Ugh...
Anyway, here's a link to the story:

To be honest, I agree that the telcom companies diserve to get paid for their services. However, corporate America has become way too comfortable with easily hurting the consumer without reprecussion. To demand more for a service that's already behind in the world economy, and sub-par for standards in countries like South Korea, Japan, China, Sweden, and many others is a blatent slap in the face to Americans who deserve better.
