Internet or not Internet

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

So I decided to drop my very expensive internet subscription (depends on how one looks at things), and change to a cheaper one…. Everything went according to plan, and I got a new line (use to have a cable modem).

2 weeks into the whole thing my modem died, and I was told that I would get a new one, so far so good, getting home today from shopping and there is a letter, saying that I’ve canceled my internet subscription… WHAT!!!!

8 minutes later on a 900 number (why do I have to pay for them to help me…), and I’m being told that they sometimes send the wrong letter when they replace the modem, and funny enough it causes a few raised eyebrows.

So I went from UPC, to Alice.nl, and if I’d known about the quality of services, the speed which I pay for (20/1Mb/s) and what I get… I would have stayed with UPC….

Silly me

Apple have discovered vCards

Friday, March 20th, 2009

The new thing is that Apple have finally discovered that vCards is use full, and can be used to replace Rolodex cards.

That is according to this “Apple Pro Tip”. Now one can hope that they also can figure out that sending vCards via SMS is also a great thing, and will include this feature in the upcoming iPhone OS v3 which is supposed to be released later this year.
