Are People Finally Going To Figure Out Texting Is a Scam?
January 6, 2009 3:22 pm UncategorizedI don’t text. Why should I pay for something that should be free, or at least is so overpriced it can only be labeled a scam? The fact is that text can be compressed to about 5% of its original size or even smaller, so text messages — which are already small enough — can be made very tiny.
And for this the mobile carriers want to charge 10 to 20 cents a pop?
Scam scam scam.
The good news is that people are finally asking questions. Yahoo! Tech reports on how one person questioned the system.
I guess it only took 5 years to figure out something that should have been common sense to any computer person.
In other news, I collected 40 links to gaming sites today. No real reason this is news other than the fact that it took about twice as long as I’d intended to spend and was rather boring.
