Here in the Netherlands, the largest mobile (and wired) provider has a
similar problem and attitude.
Some people seem to have learned nothing from the change from dial-up
Internet to flat-fee broadband.

And on the human side: let's think of those people in China assembling
our Apple devices at salaries that hardly earn them a living.
(But let's not talk politics here.)

i guess if the iPhone is such a financial drain on him he could dump it. Then he'd probably see what a real financial drain looks like when a large segment of his user base bails. What he fails to appreciate is how many iPhones (with the required $30 or whatever data plan) he's sold to people who likely would've never bought a smartphone, many of them likely buying more than one (four so far in my household). How much was he making in 2006 when a basic flip phone or candy bar phone was the common device? He's got the large customer base in spite of the company's service. The products are the reason he has many of them. Lose the bellcow and see how many customers are left. Quit whining about how much more you should be gouging from the customers and give them reasons to want to do business with you. They don't owe you that business.

I say that as a sometimes frustrated Cingular/AT&T customer of about 12 years.

that and the almost-certain-fact that most unlimited data users likely use
no more data than the lowest tier-based data users, some of them probably
substantially less.

I was with Verizon for 6 years, and moved to AT&T 8 years ago. On how they handle their customers, one candy coats it and the other gives it to you dry. Verizon gave me free minutes when there was an issue, AT&T doesn't, but they give you rollover. Don't use your minutes with V, A has rollover minutes. One gouges you on text messages, the other follows suit.

Free minutes or rollover minutes, how many of us ever used them?

I have the unlimited Data with AT&T. For the last 3 years, I have recorded data usage. My usage has been between 30 and 300MB with one notable exception of 790MB accumulated during a 2 day drive from Denver to Portland, OR. Even with that I generally average below 90MB per month. I don't go over 100 text messages in a month and probably average about 30 a month in the same 3 years.

Why do I stick with it? Because I am betting that something will come along that will cause me to dramatically increase my data usage. When I traveled for work, I watched more movies, when there was cell coverage I used more GPS service, that needed data to put the maps behind the pins or little car. Want me to switch away from the unlimited data plan, offer me a cheaper tiered plan that has rollover data.

I would like to tell Mr. Stephenson to put his money where his belly-aching mouth is. Right now he has a cash cow, with his near monopoly. Show us verifiable data about all this data usage, show the individuals that are getting throttled or a watchdog group, these high usage numbers. Why are people below 2GB of data being throttled for the remainder of their billing period, when the excuse is that they are in a high usage area at a high usage time. Why doesn't it un-throttle when they change areas or usage decreases? Also have him explain how 2GB is unlimited? Whose fault is it if his lawyers had not written a better contract, one that allows them to cancel the contract for abusive use or the incorrect type of use, but they had better be ready to defend that in court because they have been granted a franchise of public property, the right to use those airwaves.

If he wants us to give up our grandfathered unlimited data plans, offer us a generous rollover data plan. Most of us would never take advantage of it. In 3 years, I have dug into my rollover minutes for maybe 100 minutes. I'm on a 450 minute plan and average less than 200 used a month. I pay for and lost more minutes, than I have use every year that I have had a cell phone.

And this crap about text messages, paying for them at these rates is obscene. That you have a choice of what 10 or 20 cents a text or a $20 unlimited plan. There is that mysterious word, unlimited, what does that mean? Either way the customer is getting gouged, with few exceptions. Bring back the tiered text plans.

Stepping off the soap box.

Your last line matches my "sticky" files.

If I'd run out ouf free Dropbox space, I'd move photo galleries to
places where synchronization is not needed, like SkyDrive or
(depending on nature and purpose) places like Flickr.

I happen to have a 1GB video available on a temporary place of my own
website. The few people interested have been notified of this, and at
the end of the month I'll remove it.
By the way, that is an item that I wouldn't want to be synchronized
across all my devices in a Dropbox way. It will be moved to a
repository (external hard disk and its mirror) as soon as possible,
along with the 9 GB original.

Has something changed with DropBox? I receive some quilt patterns on my iPad, and they used to automatically go into DropBox so I could retrieve them on my MacBook. Now that isn't even an option, and I have to go to the quilt site and physically download them onto the Mac. I'm just wondering if something has happened that DropBox isn't accepting pdf's any longer?

My DropBox space has increased, so I don't think that's an issue. Thanks for any advice!

I am also a fan of a password vault. My preferred program is LastPass. It's cross platform (iOS, my Win 7 laptop and even the old Mac I use 8 hours a day at work that's running 10.4.1). I like the password generator and the secure notes. And as this thread has grown I've realized I have some sites that I'm still using old me-generated passwords that I need to change and make tougher. So I've been doing some of that.

You can still learn even random passwords. When LastPass created a random one of cap/lowercase letters and numbers for my iTunes, I got tired of having to look up the password all the time (mostly when using the iPhone version) so I just learned it. Do I do that for all the random ones? No. Just the ones I use a lot.

Exactly. With the hundreds of passwords many of us have to remember, there is no way to remember them all. And that is where a password vault app comes in.

Mine has over 400 different entries. I can remember some of the ones I use daily, but the rest, no way. I used to travel for work, and so I keep credit card info in there in case they get stolen, I have the phone number, card number, and anything else needed to report it stolen. I also keep the serial numbers of things like cameras, laptops, GPS, car VIN in there, so if they get stolen, I can identify them for the police report and for recovery.

In the end, I was talked into 1Password and have used it for 3 yrs. A password vault app is the easiest app to use for passwords. It becomes part of your life, just like using a computer, at least for me. I came from a DOS environment to a Windows environment to what I use now, Mac. Security has always been a worry for me. Even with Macs, I'm still conscious of security measures. Passwords and security questions are security measures that make the hacker work harder to get at your accounts.

Think of the questions as just numbers. When you get asked place of birth, that means "supply answer number 3", and reply with answer 3 for this site. That answer could be Patagonia, Pride and Prejudice, 4th of July, a phone number or gibberish. Randomly generated gibberish is better, because we all tend to repeat things and or are predictable.

I like that idea of taking screenshots. I also do that once in a while and I transfer all the infor for each site to an application I have that I got a long time ago. It meets my needs and is readily available. It is called navigational velocity. Far as a remember it is free. It was written by a student at the time and he has since upgraded it. It is a note taking application but very easy to put down all the things you need to remember. it is a blank page that you fill in the subject and then the infomation. Each place can have its own page. I tend to put like subjects om one page, for example all my email addresses and pws or favorite websites and logins. It is rather simple but always available. It is easy too look up what you have written by putting something related in the subject and the app will find all related places to find it. If you have a lot of items on one page, it will highlight the subject you want. My biggest problem is keeping up with all changes that often take place (bc if I don't I'm usually sorry and if it is a lost pw or security answer I have to start all over again to get a new one) and other than remembering the name of the app, the data is saved in a pref and i have a hard time remembering the name of the pref. I do print out the info. i have printed it out to save and from time to time and I save a copy of the info. on another part of my computer. I do recommend it if you want to try it.. the website is: http://notational.net/

You are quite welcome. At some in my life I had about 9 email addresses to keep track of plus other various and sundry accounts.

Sigh. The old brain can't handle all of that! Lol

will be appreciated.

Google Calendar

I have VERY few complaints about my iPhone (4S), but I do have one.

So far, the smartphones I have used have included a Palm Treo 700p, a BlackBerry Storm, a BlackBerry Tour, a Motorola Droid 2, an iPhone 4, a Motorola Droid 4, & an iPhone 4S.

I use my smartphone mostly for business, & I have to say, the worst calendar I have ever used has been on the iPhones. It is their Achilles Heel.
Long story short, has anyone tried Google Calendar? Does it have a "snooze" allotment for appointments? Is it quite reliable?

Thx. -Andy P.

I use google. It syncs wth my phone no problem. I too had many palms. And yes, my only issue wth the iPhone has been their calendar.

Not sure about the snooze button. I'm thinking no.

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Target discounting
iPhone 4S to $149, iPhone 4 to $49 – in store only via 9to5Mac by Jake
Smith on 5/7/12



If you're looking to pick up the iPhone 4S in the next couple of days,
make sure to check your local Target store before purchasing. Thanks to
a couple of tips sent to us via email, we now know that various Target
locations are now running a deal on the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 on all
carriers. The 16GB iPhone 4S is available for $149.99 on two year
contract, while the iPhone 4 is $49.99 on two year contract — both at a
$50 discount. Let us know down in the comments if your local Target is
running this deal, because sadly it isn't available online.

Cheers, Caleb, iDanny!
