| And? Your Point Is? |
 It's always amazing to read the news online or watch the news on TV, especially when it's a "slow news day." Because slow news day is a synonym apparently with make up irrelevant crap and call it news.
You all know what I mean, right? TV news does those humanitarian puff pieces that they call news but really are just fabrications -- take some little orphan kid for a day on the town while interviewing them on why they're so awesome and should be adopted; show some three-legged dog that got rescued from Michael Vick's compatriots to hustle money out of you for PETA, the ASPCA, and your local animal shelters; talk about what celebrity got spotted at what grocery store chain in what neighborhood with whom; and scare you into believing that just about everything in the world can cause cancer (or, conversely, try to convince you that random things can cure or prevent cancer).

| The Lead Failed Lives Present, "The Evils of AT&T" |
So you've probably already heard that there's a large outcry against AT&T for cutting their Unlimited Data Plans for smart phones, such as the Apple iPhone. I'm not going to rant about that. I just logged into AT&T My Wireless, and I trend to using a maximum of 400 MB a month so far. I honestly thought I was a heavy iPhone user, but I guess not. So it really doesn't make a difference to me, at least at this time, so I'll consider that they're right about it not affecting 98% of customers and give them a pass on this one for judgement as evil. Besides, I'm grandfathered in to an unlimited plan as long as I don't change it.
I suppose if I was in a market for an Apple iPad, I might be a bit miffed that two months after product launch, the advertised unlimited 3G data plan for $30 a month non-contract which made the product sound so exciting is being pulled away. I'd honestly consider that a bait and switch. Okay, that's a little evil, but not a lot evil. It's kind of like Scott Evil, it's the Diet Coke of evil.
