Break Your Cingular Contract Without the Fee
Basically Cingular fucked themselves by raising the price of their text messaging service to $.15 per message. First this is ridiculous because Cingular is already an expensive company and not the most commonly used feater on a cell phone is 150% the price of everybody else. Aside from this, this price change will allow for anyone to be able to use their "terms of service" agreement (see below) against them leaving free of charge. Haha! Idiots. Maybe I should get out while I can. The text message rate change is effective Jan 21, 2007. You have 30 days from then to break the contract.
Cingular's Terms of Service:
"IF WE INCREASE THE PRICE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES TO WHICH YOU SUBSCRIBE... YOU MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT PAYING AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE... PROVIDED YOUR NOTICE OF TERMINATION IS DELIVERED TO US WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE FIRST BILL REFLECTING THE CHANGE."

Google Maps vs. Live Search
I checked out Windows Live Search today and I couldn't help but notice how good the satellite picture quality was compared to Google Maps. However, the birds eye view isn't always available. Don't worry, I'm still Google Maps all the way but an update wouldn't hurt.

Nintendo Replaces 3.2 Million Wii Straps
It's official. Nintendo has recalled 3.2 million Wii straps offering to replace early originals with new ones almost twice as thick. The Associated Press reports: "Nintendo will offer customers to exchange the old straps, which have a 0.6 millimeter (0.024 inch) diameter, for a beefed up strap that has a diameter of 1 millimeter (0.04 inch), company spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said. The worldwide recall is expected to cost the company several million dollars." I love Nintendo's "You've got a problem, we'll fix it" attitude.
