cell phone: Iphone - 10/16/07 09:38 PM

cell phone: SPRINT....You've gone too far! - 09/06/07 02:48 AM

A few months ago, I blogged about how much I hate Sprint. Shortly thereafter, Sprint announced that they are releasing "problematic" customers, who continually call their customer service, from their contracts. In other words, they are FIRING their clients.
Fine...No big deal to me...I switched to a better network. More reliable to … (15 comments)

cell phone: More Great Services From Google - 08/29/07 02:59 PM

Why pay a $1.25 to $1.75 for directory assistant on your cell phone?! Personally, I think it's a rip off. Another way for Corporate America to charge the little guy.

By definition, the term “hunting” means to actively seek something. Since the Internet has become such a driving force in selling homes, the “hunt” has become much easier. It has also lowered the barrier of entry for your competition, and has created a level playing field.
