See profile http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/netflix_adds_77_million_subscribers_in_2010_to_pas.php Hey BOL Crew, Richard from Washington&8217;s e-mail about AT&T charging rent for their phones reminded me of a personal family story from a few years back. Around 1994 or so, we were moving my grandmother out of her house that she&8217;d been living in for the past 40+ years and into an assisted living community. One of my uncles wanted to keep the oldjackie reed bet news-school rotary telephone that resided in the kitchen as a souvenir of his childhood home&8211;the thing was probably as old as the house itself. Through a series of long and boring events, we ended up learning AT&T would not let him and said if the phone was not turned back in at an authorized collection spot (in our area it was an electrical supply place) theft charges could be brought up as the phone was still the property of AT&T.

I recently graduated high school, and the state mandated tests that we were required to take rarely represented the knowledge of the student body. Students were required to sit in a room and look at the test, were monitored to ensure that we were at least writing something, but often times students would just scribble or draw, and not try. Often times these students would skew the results; though they did test us more on if we could read rather than think critically. Thankfully my high school had a great science department, now I am studying engineering, and loving it.

Hulu is looking at becoming an online cable operator and we drool over Sonys PSP2 announcement. That was a bummer. I actually learned how to dial a telephone number on that phone&8211;I&8217;m one of a few people my age I know who can say that (I&8217;m 26, btw). And it&8217;s kind of hilarious to think that even though AT&T was in the middle of its court-ordered breaking up of its monopolies and whatnot, there was still someone there insistent that they get back their gosh darn property!

I have the AT&T Captivate (I have good AT&T service in Colorado Springs, CO). I found myself standing up and cheering on Mollys assessment of Samsung. Being tech journalists...you of course have a responsibility to report on all product....but!!!! If every journalist and/or reviewer that reported on Samsung products would just add a disclaimer that Samsung has the reputation for NOT supporting previously released products with upgrades...Im sure more people will factor that into their purchasing decision. If that disclaimer was attached to every mention of any new Samsung products...well...at least phones....Ill bet that Samsung would then take notice...and maybe change how they support past products. Wishful thinking....I know...but just a thought P.S.
