allow themselves to be trained to lie and recite HALF truths verizon wireless more successful selling droid x “smart” “phones” prior to giving meth to a baby buy one $99 get one free

lies pay better.. let’s all have a lie to verizon day!

 

.

on the occasion of being asked for phone ‘advice’ the truth rarely disuades one snared by Morning Star’s twinkling light:   it’s not a phone, it’s not a tablet, it’s not smart.  It is an indentity challenged device that’s flat, can make calls though beyond the phone appellation little more regard is offered in marketing, and it’s sly at best running adroid (AOSP).  What is google’s PRIMARY function (yes, all for-profit companies exist to make money) ??   Data minining.  What is google’s SECONDARY function?  Showing ads.

Now 720p is “true HD glory” and 4.3 inches is a “large widescreen”?

If you insist on a droid x, person x, please ‘root’ it and slap in a less creepy ROM.  At the very least you’ll GAIN ADBLOCKING.

Infinitec IUM USB for boxee box instead of EyeFi SDHC card :: delightful data bridge to nowhere boundless (lacking at least esatap)

hmmmm…. suffers same defective design as boxee box.. lacks estap (power over sata: USB + esata = one port)

http://infinitec.com/ium_drive/how_it_works.php

IUM can be a read client for the boxee box

http://infinitec.com/mediakit/IUM_Product_Overview.pdf
http://infinitec.com/mediakit/IUM_Data_Sheet.pdf

this needs some testing… will IUM pair nicely with USB enabled NAS? towers of SATA port multiplication?

The IUM is a Plug-and-Play drive: when it’s connected to any USB equipped device, it will always appear as a standard off-the-shelve flash drive. This means that you’ll never need to install any drivers or software on any of the devices you want to use it with.

.

Take boxee box out of the loop entirely and jackin IUM into generation now HD LCD?

month to month pricing?? hmm

yup, you guessed it, verizon fios Bait and Switch.   Proceed to checkout and behold the amazing saving have become an inconvenient $115/mo.  Proxomitron raw captures reveal it is EVIDENT to verizon I was logged in as a fios client BEFORE displaying the 99/109 deal that self transmogrifies into 115.  Betrayed by your own bits, verizon.  LIAR LIAR marketing office on fire.

The build your own package is even more annoying.  I like my “TV Extreme HD” and my internet.  I’m not paying $20/mo for verizons near zero feature phone. [I pay $5.50/mo through via talk] I simply want to upgrade my “flex” [package] internets speed to 35/35, or 50/20, or even the as not yet released Tier 4 150/35 oooh ahhh

Tis the season to take NO crap from veriozn.  A roommate will simply order the packages we want starting with a “dry loop” pure ethernet from ONT install and quickly device we would like one of those spiffy TV & internet flex plans.  No, verizon, it’s time for Seth way, or the circuitous highway back to Seth’s way.  With overlapping services no one here will suffer any shortages.  And should there be an early termination fee I’ll sit on the status quo for a PBX experiment I’ve been drooling to try.

Verizon is not interested in RETAINING customers out of their 2 year contract with a $6.11 montly savings to keep them happy?  That’s poor karma (if it were real).

win win win… byte me verizon

Congrats me!  If I was logged out before perusing upgrades I would be entitled to a more viscious RAPE in price for the same fracking thing.. hooray?

I’m still being “puninshed” by a poor config when my ONT was prepped for downgrade from 50/20 to what it is now.  Same old entertaining inconsistencies at customer expense.  At one point in life I loathed the idea of bringing work clout down on the residential side.. but that belief is quickly eroding.

Here people grab this $104.99  TV extreme HD, 25/25 internets, terestial phone over light, and multiroom DVR free for 12 months — all this with no contracts

oh noes, ought I not to have shown this to you?  Call in and ask about it ceaselessly

Yes, Suzy, you can have Ethernet out from the ONT so you don’t have your VoIP calls raped — so you can use mature ehternet hardware like the rest of us.  Be sure to make your order contingent on that.  The very same crap they would have you buy to provide ethernet from the moca loop can provide moca for STB from the ehternet run.  pesky truth

please take a moment to “share” with verizon how you “fee”

Seth Wisely says: life is easier Seth’s way.  Seth wants everyone to benefit in every deal

verizon FIOS Tier 4 Ultimate speed Download 150 Mbps/Upload 35 Mbps

VERY important consideration.  The INITIAL provisioning of your ONT is automated.  ANY change to bandwidth provisioning (more or less) *can* result in ONT ‘design’ being constructed by hand.   Have horrific latency at saturation?  You might be the victim of ONT ‘design’ being hand constructed 😦

…

extracting deals from their site was far less irksome than fighting the meth head “design”

other great deals today… I upgraded my speed, channel linup, and added a non-voip phone line for backup and faxing and will be spending LESS each month… sure with 2 year contract

gimp or photoshop text along a shape?

of the zillions of tutorial matches for gimp [anything] or photoshop [anything] no a single match for text along a shape — like a no sign.  Sure there’s text along a path but no way of avoiding that fun level of circuity?
