Sprint Customer Support

Color me unimpressed. I just realized that Sprint, which promised me a tech call back on October 22nd within two days, still hasn't called back. I guess I have to call back.

The Red Ring of Death

I think our Xbox should have been immune.

Did Not Know This

Apparently Sprint sold off most of their cell towers back in the summer.

The flagging carrier sold off "nearly all" (around 3,300) of its wireless communication towers to TowerCo for some $670 million in cash. According to Sprint Nextel's Bob Azzi, the move to lease rather than own these network facilities will enable it to "better focus on its core business of providing communications services to consumers, businesses and government customers." He continued by noting that the transaction "provides Sprint Nextel with additional liquidity [for] greater flexibility in managing the company."

Wonder why Sprint hasn't called back to explain my Sprint signal problem here at the house when our Nextel phones get great signal... 48 hour return call, BS.

Twittering

I may have the most boring Twitter stream ever.

Cybercrime

Nobody's safe.

In a sign that cybercrime can reach even heads of state, French police are scrambling to investigate the hacking of French president Nicolas Sarkozy's personal bank account.

According to reports, Sarkozy called police in September after he noticed small amounts of money had been disappearing from his account. The story first surfaced yesterday in a report by the Journal du Dimanche.

The French consulate in San Francisco did not respond to requests for comment by press time. The U.K. Daily Telegraph quoted Sarkozy's office as saying a prosecutor is investigating, together with fraud squad officers.

Weird Things

My wife and I have Nextel cell phones, and they work fine at home with strong signal. Sprint bought Nextel earlier in the year. Our daughter's birthday being yesterday, we decided to get her a cell phone, and added her to our service, which is now Sprint-Nextel. Weird thing: she's on our service, but her signal strength is VERY weak at home, hovering between zero and one bar. My wife and I have full bars on our Nextel phones at home. What's up with that? Is it possible that even though Sprint and Nextel are one company now, that service to our house comes from different towers?

HTML Earnings

Just curious: with $368,895 in "html earnings" in the past six months, when 1753 html jobs have been posted in just the last 30 days, sounds like there's not much money available through this job site. So who's doing these jobs?

Anyone have an opinion on this mass email delivery software?

How Does Twitter Make Money?

Somebody else wonders how it can survive without a revenue model.
