Buzz Out Loud 1577: SOPA: it ain't over yet (Podcast)
The Internet flexed its power with this week's SOPA/PIPA blackouts, but make no mistake: this battle isn't over yet, and will only intensify--it might get a lot more sneaky, in fact. But this week? The Internet wins. Will students lose out with Apple's new plan to revamp the textbook industry? Or just the students (and schools) who can't can't afford iPads?

High Data Usage Alert
Really AT&T? Really?
The only reason I tolerated your crappy service for so long was that I was grandfathered into an unlimited iPhone data plan. So, really? After my whole family has iPhones on the same plan, and we’re all on 2 yr contracts, your now going to start throttling our data speeds in addition to capping the data on the new lines? Really?
I just hope this let’s me break my contract and move to sprint. I’m sure the coverage is abysmal, and the call quality stinks, but really, is that any different from AT&T?
