AT&T spoils the party, again

In June 2008, AT&T spoiled the iPhone party by increasing the monthly data rate from $25 to $30 per month. In addition, text messaging, a service of minimal cost to providers was a minimum of $5 a month for 200 texts, with the only higher option $15 a month for 1000.

June 2009: AT&T spoils the iPhone party again by foregoing a subsidized upgrade path for current iPhone 3G owners. Awesome, thanks AT&T.

Unabated bashery of ‘bated’ naysayers

Cruel Clever Cat

Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.

~Geoffrey Taylor

Despite being one of the text-messaging generation, I am irked when I see ‘baited’ over ‘bated’. It’s almost as bad as the wanton exchange of ‘effect’ over ‘affect.’
