I guess the Portable Media Center is dead or dying?

I love my PMC . It provides video (movies, television, and DVDs), music and audio (in a wide variety of formats), and pictures and photos. The iPod only offers audio. So, the news of Microsoft releasing an iPod competitor by Christmas is a bit confusing. I own the Creative Zen PMC. A quick look on Creative...

On the phone with Cingular again today.

I feel like a bulldog on this issue. “Amanda” promised to call me back today to get this issue fixed. No call. So, I decided to call back. I have yet another Cingular rep on the phone who is now “checking into it”. He saw that Amanda promised to call me back in their computer...

Cingular still won't give my phone back

Just got off the phone with a rep. Even though I’ve filed a complaint with the BBB in Ohio, seen the news about the BBB issues in NY, and know they are being sued by the gov’t in Orgeon because of false coverage maps, they still say they can’t take care of my situation. Tomorrow, I’m...

What's next?

After my journey down the cellular-switch road these past few months, I’m convinced that cellular companies aren’t going to last. It’s all a big scam. It’s all snake oil. There simply hasn’t been any good service for any type of phone since the gov’t stepped in and...

Cingular takes the cake -- and wants YOU to pay for it

After spending a couple months trying to get a refund for Cingular’s ugly service, I chatted with the “manager”, Evelyn Malone today. She told me that even though Cingular doesn’t work in my area, they can’t refund my phone hardware cost. Oh, man. I’m going to have...

Windows IT Pro site wants you to pay to see about new security vulnerabilities.

What kind of hooey is this? I received a feed from Windows IT Pro, clicked on it, and then was sent to a page that asked me if I wanted to sign up for paid content!!!!!! Aw, man. Things are out of control. All I wanted to do was see about a new IE vulnerability, and Windows IT Pro gave me the run-around...

Agreed...pay for news sites have to go

John posted this earlier , and I have to agree. This is a big chimp category. You SHOULD NOT have to pay for news sites. This drives me nuts. When I click on a link in an email and am dumped to a pay site, I immediately close the browser window.

Cingular to Offer Music Downloads

After my experiences with Cingular (which you’ve been privy to), this doesn’t make their service any better… http://www.betanews.com/article/Cingular_to_Offer_Music_Downloads/1127426210

Interesting...

Chatted with the Better Business Bureau for Ohio today about Cingular Wireless. Wow! They have a LOT of complaints against them, and it’s not just in Ohio.

Thanks for this!

Cingular on the way out. Larry sent this to me today after my post on Cingular’s poor service. You will probably find this just a tad bit interesting: http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=1634
