AT&T Plans filing Friday in response to Sprint & Cellular South Merger Suits

AT&T is running into protest from many groups, consumers, Justice Dept, so it now places tomorrow Friday to file a motion against the suits, basically stating that the suits are not try and that the acquisition with t-mobile will in fact not hurt competition and will improve service.
I must tell you that based on my experience with AT&T, if they are allowed to acquire T-Mobile it will be an abomination of the industry that already is suffering from rampant bad service, customer service, why does AT&T think that by acquiring t-mobile this will make things better, they basically will have swallowed one of their competitors and those customers are doomed to the same fate that existing AT&T customers are locked into.

If you are a T-Mobile or AT&T customers the best thing you can do right now is as soon as your contract is up, CANCEL or actually you don’t even have to cancel, just as soon as your contract is up, DO NOT RENEW, don’t get swindled into renewing, because they have their ways.

You have options, and now is the time to do it, as customers will feel the pain if they don’t. Make AT&T accountable for their actions and deception and practices.

So what do you do when you have to swap out a hard drive with one operating system or actually a flavor of Windows XP from one machine to another?

Is there really an easy way to do this? Apparently not. Microsoft has really figured out how to make this almost impossible.

You call the support number and they pretty much no longer support Windows XP.

I have three computers all with valid XP keys on stickers attached to the systems, and I went from a computer that had Windows XP Media Center Edition on it and took that drive and put it into another system that had a key for Windows XP Professional.
Well the system did not like my activation on the hard drive going from the Windows XP Media Center to Windows XP Professional.

So I attempted to “upgrade” from Windows XP Media Center to Windows XP Professional.

None of the keys I had worked, I tried various and all returned, not a valid product code, with no option to contact Microsoft to register.

So now I am left with trying to install a new fresh copy of Windows XP Professional on this system.

Dear Microsoft, you have really managed to make the keys and registration process a nightmare, even for those who are legit, it sure stinks.

Anyone else a similar experience? Are there any work arounds? or does Microsoft assume that when you move a hard drive from one system to another that you have to re-activate that operating system?
Why?

I called this number: (888) 352 7140
and I was transferred to a something about DirecTV and ADT home security and the call was disconnected.

We love to play online. And we play cards. But the best is to play cards free for sure. Governor of poker is a great game for example. Poker is the most known card game in the world. I use to play poker for free and never for real money. The easy way is to play online poker but is more fun to play with your friends.

Will we see a new iPad? Probably not, but do expect Apple to release an iPad 3, in the coming months, most likely in January.

Amazon is making huge waves with this announcement, perfect timing as the holiday season approaches and the tablet market is maturing.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Kindle as a service, four years ago “Amazon had 90,000 books. Today we’re over a million” this is an amazing stat that compares to what has happened in other formats of media, music and movies, the digitization of content accelerates. What is important to note is how do the publishers and copyright owners fare under the new distribution models?

==================================
This is the text from the home page of the Amazon.com website:
Dear Customer,

There are two types of companies: those that work hard to charge customers more, and those that work hard to charge customers less. Both approaches can work. We are firmly in the second camp.

We are excited to announce four new products: the all-new Kindle for only $79, two new touch Kindles – Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G – for $99 and $149, and a new class of Kindle – Kindle Fire – a beautiful full color Kindle for movies, TV shows, music, books, magazines, apps, games, web browsing and more, for only $199.

These are high-end products – the best Kindles we’ve ever made. Kindle and Kindle Touch have the most-advanced E Ink display technology available, and the 3G Kindle Touch adds free 3G wireless – no monthly fees and no annual contracts. Kindle Fire brings everything we’ve been working on at Amazon for 15 years together into a single, fully-integrated experience for customers – instant access to Amazon’s massive selection of digital content, a vibrant color IPS touchscreen with extra-wide viewing angle, a 14.6 ounce design that’s easy to hold with one hand, a state-of-the-art dual core processor, free storage in the Amazon Cloud, and an ultra-fast mobile browser – Amazon Silk – available exclusively on Kindle Fire.

We are building premium products and offering them at non-premium prices.

Thank you for being a customer,

Jeff Bezos
Founder & CEO

p.s. – Kindle Fire has a radical new web browser called Amazon Silk. When you use Silk – without thinking about it or doing anything explicit – you’re calling on the raw computational horsepower of Amazon EC2 to accelerate your web browsing.
