The following is an email I sent to some friends tonight. Needless to say, I’m still fairly frustrated to still have close to a year left on my contract while my phone (Samsung Moment) has already been discontinued (about a year after being introduced) and no longer supported. WTF? ====begin email=== So are we gonna [...]

Why Sprint, Why? (Rate Increases? Really?)

Sprint shall soon be adding $10/month to users of 3G smart phones. They already did that for the 4G phones and I didn’t care that much as I don’t have a 4G phone. In fact it’s one of the reasons I didn’t go out and snag a Samsung Epic. The phone looks cool as hell [...]

We’ve heard over and over again how painfully slow the U.S. Patent Office is. I was reminded again today as I was copied on an email to a patent attorney regarding an application we sent in THREE YEARS AGO. What the hell? This wasn’t even a very complex product that we are dealing with here. [...]

We’re all pursuing the American Dream, aren’t we? Or are we? Just what exactly IS the American Dream? Is it still alive? Think back to the early days of the U.S. and what people meant when they meant when they said they were going to America to pursue the American Dream. I have a hunch [...]
