AT&T to Cancel Unlimited Data Plans – Effective June 7th, 2010!

June 2, 2010 Gadgets No Comments

AT&T has announced that effective June 7th, 2010, they will no longer offer unlimited data plans for new/modified contracts for both the iPhone and iPad! This is a huge development in which Gizmodo has gone into much greater depth. However, it suffices to say that something big is happening in the world of the iPhone. For AT&T to announce this change effective June 7th, the first day of the WWDC, might say something about the future of AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity. If AT&T were to know that their control over iPhone consumer mobile plans were to come to an end (Verizon, anyone?) then what reason would they have to keep providing unlimited data?

On the other hand, one could argue that AT&T would have had pay-per-byte plans all along, since consumers would officially have no other option than to pay AT&T whatever they demanded.

So, why the change AT&T? Read more about it here.

1. Job as a sys admin where I sat majority of [...]

Seam Recipes [Part 1]: s:decorate

As a developer, forms are one of my biggest grievances whenever I am building a Web application. Why? Well, for one, there is nothing pretty about creating a form. Even the best Web designers, with all of their fancy CSS wizardy, struggle to build clean, consistent, and reusable form layers that can be used anywhere within an application. To complicate matters, nothing in the HTML 4 spec (though, this will change with HTML 5) provide any sort of functionality around form elements.

A Trip Down LucasArts Memory Lane; or, the Game That Started It All

Today I consider myself a computer techie; I’m a developer by trade, a “technologist” in my free time, and a gamer at heart.
All of that had to start somewhere, right?  Well, for me, it did when, at the age of 13, my father came home talking about a PC game he saw at our [...]

WoW: The B Squad

I recently came across an article on Elder Game regarding World of Warcraft and how many of Blizzard’s employees had shifted onto new projects (Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Unannounced MMO), while a newer and less experienced team was handling the current live content for WoW (dubbed the B Squad). Being a longtime (and current) player [...]
