I agree that we put lots of pressure to release the iPhone on Steve. But I am dissapointed to say the least.

Just to let know everybody that i just sent my first complain about edesignuk as a moderator.
I could probably be shot for this, but when do you say anything nice about anything other than yourself?
edesignuk will do a good job as a Mod mini and I'm sure the rest of the crowd will go along with that. It's unfortunate that you're having trouble with his being chosen but you don't seem to have any reason for your statement.

Volkswagen has taken a new direction with the design of their Passat.
Whereas most automakers are putting more thought into bringing more and better small cars to the market these days, Volkswagen is making their new Passat bigger and a lot cheaper. (http://jalopnik.com/5729079/the-2011-volkswagen-passat-less-wagen-more-volk)
The engine choices remain good, especially the rare diesel option, but how are they going to shave $7000 off the base price of the Passat AND make it larger without turning it into just another Camry/Malibu/Taurus/Impala/Accord soulless bore-fest McSedan?
Volkswagen's following in the US is built on buyers looking for a more European-flavored car. Volkswagen, however, now seem intent on making their lineup more "American". This seems sure to alienate Volkswagen's core buyers in the US.
Sadly, that is exactly what they are doing. Have you seen the new US market Jetta? They stripped out a lot of the options that used to be standard, lowered the quality of the interior, and made a lot of other cuts in order to lower the price. That "under $16k" price they brag about has the ancient and underpowered 2.0L naturally aspirated four (used to be the 2.5L 5), a solid rear axle (used to be independent rear suspension), and rear drum brakes.
VW figured out that bigger sells better in the mid-size four door sedan market, so they bumped it up. They decontented a bit, and they also moved production to the US (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/09/2012-volkswagen-passat-chattanooga-vw/). I guess VW has decided to move from "affordable German luxury" back to "The people's car".

I changed my plan just now. I had the 900 min plan with a-list + unlimited text + unlimited data.
I downgraded to 450 mins + unlimited text and m2m + unlimited data.
90% of my calls are to other mobile numbers so this works out perfect for me.
I'll end up losing a ton of rollover minutes that I would never had used anyway. Too bad you can't donate them or something.
How do you know you will lose the rollover mins? Does it state this?

You could use some sort of plug in like, a vocoder, auto-tune, vocal transformer in logic.
but you would need some kind of recording software, garage band would do...

Anyone Know if Blue-Ray discs are archival? The normal DVD have a high failure rate after a few year in storage. Even CD-R media will not last decades.
Actually this has been proved wrong. As long as your careful, keep them in a good tempered area they'll be fine. I still have some of my original CDs and DVDs that I burned that work fine - of course it doesn't hurt to backup those discs though. Scratching them is easy. ;)

I'm still on an older Family 850 plan for $50.99 and it's not showing up. Is it because you have to be on a current 700+ Family Plan? If so, I don't think it would do me any good as the 700 plan cost more than the 850 I'm on now.

You are/were 1 to 2 years late with putting out this Verizon iPhone.
Android has gained adoption...
Don't worry, you will be fine in the long run - a Verizon LTE iPhone 6 will get your sales kicked in within the Verizon market. I know I will be going back to an iPhone when it happens. :cool:

I'm confused here :confused: What's the problem??
Not trying to speak for sun baked, but compared to the other additions to the mod list, you are one that stands out the most. Maybe both in a positive and negative way (though there are many other members here that fit in the negative category). To be honest I don't remember seeing the other new UK mod and their postings.
Even as a mini mod, you have to have a thick skin. And as a mod you have to lead by example.
To be honest there may be those out there that are gunning for you. Waiting for you to "slip up". In the end the powers that be at MR have chosen you to be part of the select few. And that speaks volumes.
And I for one welcome you to that new group. Though I may not always have agreed with your "macros", your heart was in the right place. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the added responsibilities. This coming from one that has done mod work in the past.

You have to understand the law. What the seller did was intentionally try to deceived. Would a reasonable person be deceived by this listing, yes, therefore the judgement would go to the plaintiff if something like this ever went to court.
The seller should be banned and hopefully will.
I do understand law.
In civil court....you are correct. In criminal court...no dice. In a criminal court the prosector has to prove that the defendant has violated the LETTER OF LAW. Clearly the seller didn't in this case.
Civil court judges have much more freedom to interpret law (and intent) than criminal.

so let get this straight AT&T is pretty much going to increase the number of minutes I do not use every month. My family already is on the lowest family plane for 5 lines and still put over 500 Roller in the account for per month. Well currently we lose about that many per month.
Guess the roll over will increase since we will not be using even more minutes.

Except that I don't jailbreak my iPad. :p I do however work in an electronics repair shop, and we do jailbreaking/unlocking for customers sometimes. Apple is beating down the jailbreak community pretty well recently. It's a pain for me because it means lots of customers coming in complaining that their jailbreak/unlock is gone. ;)
I can see your pain. :)
But I would assume you also warn your customers about what they are doing don't you? It should be a known risk.

Meanwhile in the world of tablets, RIMM is having problems:
Earlier this week it was a breakout of sudden playbook death syndrome.
Users report BlackBerry PlayBooks failing to restart (http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobile-technology/users-report-blackberry-playbooks-failing-restart-992)
APRIL 25, 2011
"Some BlackBerry PlayBook tablets that Research in Motion released last Tuesday are suddenly failing to restart. Some even simply stop working while in use and do not restart. InfoWorld.com experienced this issue with its own review unit after three days of use, and moe than a dozen users have reported the identical problem on RIM's BlackBerry.com support site.
The initial reports began on the evening of April 20, one day after the PlayBook was released, though most users reported the problem after a few days of activity. For units experiencing this "sudden death syndrome," the PlayBook's indicator light double-blinks when turned on but the screen remains black."
Now the company can't deliver its phones and the CEO is having a hard time with questions about security:
BlackBerry maker starts to feel serious squeeze (http://www.brecorder.com/world/global-business-a-economy/12934-blackberry-maker-starts-to-feel-serious-squeeze.html)
FRIDAY, 29 APRIL 2011
"Research In Motion is starting to feel a serious squeeze. The BlackBerry maker is hemorrhaging market share and just warned product delays are hurting sales. The pressure is showing: its co-CEO recently stormed off a TV interview when asked about security issues. RIMM needs to compose itself if a new tablet and operating system are to keep the firm relevant.
Cutting estimates just weeks after issuing them hardly inspires confidence. The company warned hold-ups bringing out new handsets scared off customers. Those still buying RIM devices in the United States and Latin America are choosing cheaper, lower-end ones. As a result, earnings per share will actually shrink slightly, despite the booming market for smartphones."
...
Poor RIMM. I think the end is near.
