The big carriers are definitely pushing people onto those cheap data plans. Once you get it, you just won’t go back!

It sounds like these changes are taking the paper away from hard news and moving it more toward audience entertainment. I guess drastic times call for drastic measures.

I think Microsoft is smart to move away from Windows XP. Technology is about looking forward, not back.

Ill be on metro pcs before too long!

Prices will rise, because of less competition and quality will hardly improve. I hope this merger does not happen, but I have a feeling it most definitely will.

I would not pay that much for a domain name, but I guess someone would. It is definitely an advantage to identifying and blocking porn sites on the web from children.

It seems like most big industries in America have come to this point: the two giants absorb all the smaller companies until there’s a clash of the titans, the giants get split up, and the process repeats…we’re doomed to repeat it.

I think it will help make online security better. You can now say I want to block this domain.
