When I realize the commandment I am weakest to keep is, "Thou shalt not covet;" I also realize that it's the one Leftists despise above all.

Come now Spain. Universidade de Vigo is carrying the water for the entire nation on iTunesU & are there any video podcasts originating here?

Bait and Switch, Telefonica Style - Movistar Engaña a Un Pringado Más

Bait and Switch, Telefonica Style
Originally uploaded by BY-YOUR-⌘

I ordered an iPhone from the only officially authorized source of iPhones in Spain: Movistar. It's the mobile / cell phone branch of the telecom monster, Telefonica.
As you can see, they did not send me an iPhone, but if I open the package any further, I will have even more difficulty than I am already in for, in trying to send it back, to get what I've paid for.

Orange, not to be outdone, will not let me unblock my old phone, that I purchased through them over 2 years ago, so I am stuck, with no working cell phone. I KNEW I NEVER SHOULD HAVE BITTEN THE APPLE OF TEMPTATION, BUT SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR iPhones TO BE OFFICIALLY CARRIER FREE!!!!! I even had an actual bad dream about getting screwed again, (not kidding,) and I still went for the bait.

My Nokia died recently. Coincidentally, Movistar had offered me a free iPhone, plus 30% discount on monthly plan. Bastards sent a Palm Pre!

Despicable, Telefonica Movistar, and Orange, too! If you change carriers in Spain, better not forget to get your phone's unlock code first!

Heavy weights, or a pole wedged in between the seat and the roof of the cab, should have been obvious to the writers of Lie to Me. Sheesh.

If a company uses my voiceprint for customer service, without asking, is that an invasion of privacy? GPS/cell triangulation for language?

If the human brain is supposed to be such an impressive, and difficult to emulate super-computer, why is it so bad at math?

Just in case anyone wonders what is my top Christmas wish?

Eric Holder could resign.

The difference between 'too much' and 'not enough' ground cumin is so difficult to measure, and yet an attempt is always worthwhile somehow.

Ugh! After just under 4 yrs, I have to give up on my N80, & standing up for Nokia. 2 screens, 5 firmware flashes. Slider phone = dead :.^(

Keynesian Economics Is Wrong: Bigger Gov't Is Not Stimulus
