Post to SparkWord AT&T ends unlimited data plan for iPhone/iPad.

This is a win-win. By offering more options, Apple will appeal to even more consumers than it already did. In turn, people who wouldn't normally be able to afford an iPhone might now have access.

It'd be rad if we could get a shower installed at my workplace. I know I'd ride my bike more. (And I wouldn't turn down a discount on a new bike, either.)

I think everyone gets terrified when they look at Greece, but we can rise above and bounce back... just give it time.

What else is out there besides Final Cut Pro? Any recs/comparisions for high-quality but not insanely expensive video editing software?

Definitely old. The plot and technology were simpler, but more awesome, if that makes any sense. Then again, I was a wide-eyed kid who thought anything on TV was mind-blowingly awesome. After being bombarded with technology after all these years, it takes a lot more to make an impression.

Post to SparkWord Digital Divide

Well, it exposes our priorities, doesn't it? The Googles of the world are on crack with their innovative moves, yet we're simultaneously leaving so many behind. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski: "In the 21st century, a digital divide is an opportunity divide."

Curling rules!! Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly says Curling is his favorite Olympic sport because you don't have to put your beer down to play. True dat.

Also, Norway's pants are killing it. Gotta get me a pair.

Post to SparkWord Third-Hand Smoke

Sorry, smokers, but you are walking cancer hazards. I know the addiction is horrific and really painful to break, but if you're not trying, then you're choosing to hurt yourself and everyone around you. Too harsh? Not when you've seen its tragic effects like I have.

Post to SparkWord Google in China

Computer hackers, censored searches, and more... I get Google's frustration, but I think its latest decision to postpone a mobile phone launch in China is plain stupid... unless it doesn't mind losing the largest mobile phone market on the planet. Am I missing something?
