    Now, when the Iphone came out recently, a lot of morons(corporate slaves) were here at DP dancing around about how they were going to run out and buy one. I knew the phone was overpriced and a piece of crap, and I also new the service was going to suck.

    As time goes on, more news begins to come out about the Iphone. A guy recently got a 3,000 bill with his Iphone when he traveled to Europe, and you can read the article here:http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/36084

    Here is another article about Russian Hackers who found out that the Iphone has a tracking device in it that comes from none other than the NSA:

    Yep, I'm glad I didn't get scammed by AT&T and Apple. I'm actually smart enough to save and invest my money in my business rather than giving it to billion dollar companies that are already rich..........and corrupt. :rolleyes:

    These companies continue to violate your rights by spying on you, and so many of you are so brainwashed that you would turn around and give them your hard earned money.

    Damn that's some crappy news, ok I handle the bills. But imagine having an NSA tracking device in it... Scary.

    Even a $3,000 bill for overseas travel is insane. In a day and age where everything has become digital, the cost to make international calls should be cheaper than ever, and AT&T shouldn't be charging that much.

    Think about this, I can make international calls with Skype for well under a cent per minute, and AT&T should use the same price structure. But no, they are a near monopoly, and like all the companies of their size, they charge highway robbery prices for their services because they think they rule the planet.

    I could think of a bunch of ways to invest $3,000 in my business............
