AT&T Tells People to Stop Unauthorized Tethering


Engadget -By all accounts, the carrier is now cracking down on all unauthorized tethering, and it’s asking folks engaged in such behavior to either pay up for a proper tethering plan or simply stop tethering altogether — if it doesn’t hear anything back for you after sending the message, AT&T says it will automatically enroll you in a DataPro 4GB tethering plan (at a rate of $45 a month).

AHAHAHAH this company is a joke. Besides the fact that you can’t make calls, they’re actually sending people messages asking them to stop tethering. If you ignore it, they will automatically enroll you in a $45 per month ata plan? The nerve! They have some pair on them, sending this message. No one wants to pay for your expensive ass tethering rates when they already have a perfectly good data plan. I’ll do what I want with my internet connection I’m paying for, mind you!

I have Verizon and they’d never pull off this shit, butAT&T pisses me off because they do stupid things and set dumb ass precedents for all other carriers.

Dave Grohl Is Legit: Glee Sucks


MTV -“It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f—ing ‘Glee.’ And then the guy who created ‘Glee’ is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f—ing show. … F— that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do ‘Glee.’ … I watched 10 minutes. It’s not my thing.”Grohl was coming to the defense of other rock stars who have denied the show the right to turn their songs into show choir singalongs, only to then incur the wrath of show creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy. Last year, Murphy engaged in a public war of words with both legendary guitarist Slash and members of Kings of Leon over the use of their music on the show, often lashing out vitriolically about the artists for saying no.

Damn right Dave. Glee fucking sucks. It’s so bad. If I were in a band, I’d be pissed of a bunch of singsong kidsruiningmy material. Then you have that woman gym teacher who’s tucking a dick, that homosexual school for rich snobby boys and morons going around ruining songs. It’s a God awful show. It’s like high school stereotype central. Ugh.

Bro Watching TV on his iPad2 Needs to Get Out of My Way While Walking


WSJ -Researchers say the concept of “sidewalk rage” is real. One scientist has even developed a Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome Scale to map out how people express their fury. At its most extreme, sidewalk rage can signal a psychiatric condition known as “intermittent explosive disorder,” researchers say. On Facebook, there’s a group called “I Secretly Want to Punch Slow Walking People in the Back of the Head” that boasts nearly 15,000 members.

Fucking shrinks, making up nonsensical disorders such as “intermittent explosive disorder” trying to make more money treating you for stuff that isn’t even real. Is it in the DSM IV? Doubtful. But it will be added soon. You know what is real? Shitheads who get in my way when I have somewhere to go. I HATE slow walkers. If you walk slow, fine. So be it. But just do it in a place where I don’t get stuck behind you. Because then I rage. I have things to do, places to go. I don’t have time to dawdle.

Like today walking off the train, there was this dude just walking with his head glued to his iPad. Obviously, he doesn’t get over to one side and let people pass. He’s over there swaying like a drunk causing a 2mph moving roadblock with this other old decrepit bitch who has no business traveling by train. I need to get by these fuckers because there’s a smokeshow up ahead that I need to go creep on.

Obviously the iPad moron is in his own damn world and oblivious, so I can’t be polite and say excuse me (which I would have had no problem doing). The other woman was deaf. So the only solution? Get all up in their grill. Just walked right on top of their asses and start grinding. Make them uncomfortable. Pretty sure the guy watching the video had no clue but the other old bitch mumbled something under her breath and finally let me pass. Welp, she got the point at least.

I always put my iPod/music/phone etc away when I’m walking because I don’t want to be that guy. Situational awareness is important. Don’t get in people’s way and pay attention to the environment. It can save your life – either you won’t get run over by a car or someone with sidewalk rage won’t beat you up).

Rush Hour Rant: Subway Poles


I almost vomited three times while making this shitty assed photo illustration.

I will never touch a subway pole again in my life. Guaranteed. I always joked about how bad they were and Purell’d the shit out of my hands if I had to touch them, but this is the icing on the cake folks. You think wiping snot, licking, spitting, shitting, puking or coughing phlegm all over the pole is bad? Heh.

So I was on the 6 Friday morning and almost vomited all over the train. There was this woman with the biggest ass herpes cold sores all over her lips and face that I’ve ever seen before in my life. Ok so big deal, I wasn’t going anywhere near her. Whatever. I get to my stop and it’s time to get off. It’s also this infected clown’s stop.

So before she gets up, she takes a finger and starts rubbing and picking the shit out of these sores for like 20 seconds. Then she proceeds to stand up, grabbing the pole with that same hand. Delicious!

At that moment, I literally gagged and made a loud noise of disgust while staring at this filthy woman.Thanks for putting your fucking virus all over the place. Get the f off my train and clean yourself up, slut.

Fucking AT&T Started Popping Caps In Your Ass


Giz -Citing an official confirmation from AT&T rep Seth Bloom, DSLReports is, well,reporting that AT&T will pull the trigger on data caps on heavy users of its U-Verse and DSL offerings, starting May 2.DSL users will receive a 150GB cap, while U-verse users will receive a 250GB cap, with penalties imposed after a customer exceeds the limits three times or more. The penalty’s price? $10 per 50GB over the limit.

No this isn’t AT&T wireless. This is landline internet.No I don’t have AT&T for internet service. I’m lucky enough to be in a Verizon FiOS area. But this sucks because once one ISP pulls this, everyone else will follow. Pretty sure I don’t use more than 40 gigs per month, but still – it’s the principle. Bitch ass trick.
