“A federal appeals court sought to clarify matters in a ruling Wednesday by distinguishing between electronic communication that employers store on their servers, or pay someone to store, and communication they contract out for.

Employers must have either a warrant or the employee’s permission to see messages that aren’t stored by the employer or by someone the employer pays for storage, the court said.”

Bottom line.  If you want to ” holla at yo chick on da side “, get your own phone.  I think that I am going to write a post called “From Down low to Downloads-Da Playa’s Guide To Technology”.  Cell phones, texting plans, OnStar, what the playa of the 21 century needs to know, but was too whipped to ask!

HP comes to Conway. The like us, they really like us!

Arkansas Blog: The news in Conway
“From John Williams, who was there: No specifics on the nature of the jobs, but Gov. Mike Beebe said many will pay $40,000 a year to start and perhaps more. Employees will need to be “IT literate” and have other skills.”

Sounds like IC3 to me. If you need help with IC3 training call me.

Alltel Sale to Verizon Looks Likely – NYTimes.com

Chad declined to comment.  The wizard, however, said he saw this coming in his crystal ball and bought shares of Verizon.  The SEC is investigating.   What did he know and when did he know it.  LOL

“The Shroud of the Dark Side has fallen”…The Net Neutrality Wars have begun…Time Warner Cable tests metered Internet service

Posted in Digital Divide at 11:23 am by Travis

Time Warner Cable tests metered Internet service | Technology | Internet | Reuters
Consumers in the test region will be offered several levels of service. A $29.95 per month plan for slower speeds of 768 kilobits per second and a 5 gigabyte limit would let users send and receive about 349,525 e-mails, play 170 hours of online games, or download 1,383 digital songs per month.

At the high end, a $54.90 monthly fee for a 15-megabit-per-second service and a 40 gigabyte monthly limit would allow subscribers to watch 124 hours of standard-definition videos or download 11,070 songs.

Time Warner has fired the first shot.  Let me remind you.  There is no need for this.  The have the money for the next level improvements needed.  This is a merging of long distance and cellular platforms.  You get charged by going over whether you know it or not.  Here’s why.  It is more profitable to restrict the internet and nickle and dime you than it is to open the pipes up to their true ability.  Long distance charges on the internet.  Shameful shiggity.
