Tmobile and Sprint Merger Bad Karma?

Rumor hitting the net now about Tmobile and sprint merging.

From this Uk News Article

Hopefully this means teh end of sprints crappy CDMA signal and growth of Tmobiles more dominant gsm signal.

One of the greatest features of gsm is the ability to just yank your sim card out and plug it into another phone you have and make it work, until you can replace your broken phone. So if this happens, cross your fingers and hope for gsm. Some people like to travel, and many people like Tmobile.

Oh yeah, and a good signal.

Lost Insurance Because Of Facebook??

A woman from Canada lost her insurance after facebook visit from her insurance company. seems they saw her vacation pictures and said ” Hey you not so cool”

Here is the real story followed by  My take.

Lost her insurance because of Facebook Pictures

A Canadian woman on sick leave for depression said Monday she would fight an insurance company’s decision to cut her benefits after her agent found photos on Facebook of her vacationing, at a bar and at a party………..

Ok, You back from reading that? Really it is a short read so if you haven’t read it . Go read it.

She goofed by giving the insurance company the same email address she registered her Facebook account with. But that does not make her a bad person. Really it makes her insurance company practically an internet Stalker. Facebook is pretty strict and locked tight. Most profiles, you can’t see someone’s profile unless you are invited to see it, or if you request to be their friend and they accept. So somewhere in that area she made a mistake. That of course is not against the law. Tricking her into thinking she is going to have a new friend is deceptive though.

An insurance agent over-riding the doctor’s request, is foul, and well here in the united states, the doctor would probably sue the insurance company because of the claim against the doctor’s credibility.

So.. What have  we learned here?

Probably not much.

Example of a “Russian Connection” email

Good Day,
I am Andrei Raz***hov, I have a business brief which might interest you on the instruction of a business tycoon in Moscow whose business interest spans crude oil refining, mining, construction, real estate and tourism.

Over the past years the policies of the Kremlin has not been favorable towards his business and more importantly towards his person who seem to have a different political view from that of the Kremlin. Without boring you with politics of Russia, I will go straight to the point to ask for your cooperation to discreetly re-profile funds worth 52.2 Million euro own by this business tycoon from its present location via a bank in eastern Europe to a new investment location.

You will be paid 8% for your ‘management consultancy fees’, if we are able to reach terms. If you are interested, please write back to my senior colleague Mr. Andrev Sl**vik at **** and provide your telephone number and private e-mail address and he will provide further details.

Write back, we wait for your response.
Regards,
Andrei Raz***hov

Really if you get anything in the email from someone you do not know as an established bank that wants your routing number, credit card number, or anything that you don’t want a crack head to have…..DON’T FRICKEN GIVE IT AWAY.

“but he sounded sincere” Well you sound gullible.
