according to AppleInsider | Spat with Rogers leaves Canadian Apple stores without iPhones:
Apple, disgusted with Rogers Wireless for dumping egregious service plans on would-be iPhone 3G buyers, has decided that its Canadian retail stores will have no part in helping the carrier market the new handset to customers, AppleInsider has learned.
Of course, I have no personal knowledge, so I'm just passing on this quote, but I hope it is true. I've been with Fido for 3 years (one year without a contract), and I think I'm just going to use my fido $ to pay off my bill, and then cancel my contract. I may consider getting a cell again with a contract, but I'm switching to pay per use and have the phone around for emergencies. My mom pays $120 a year, she says, for her pay per use contract and keeps all her minutes.
Some people think it is ok to pay $600-1200 (or more) a year or more for a cellphone. That's the price of being connected. Then again, they may be the same people who waste money on cars and commuting when they don't need to. Some people need cars and cellphones due to special needs and responsibilities, and that's of course necessary. But if it is a lifestyle choice, I wonder why people would make such an expensive lifestyle choice. Money == time, so the more you spend on what you don't really need, couldn't someone make the argument that life itself is what is being wasted?
Anyway, no cell for me, soon enough.
I happened upon this video courtesy of Kevin Rose on FriendFeed. Pretty funny pitch, but I don't think you could use it more than once.
Finally, wandered into the Great Burger the other day. I went to the batting cages at Gaien with Matt and Chris. Matt had not had lunch yet, and as soon as he asked where to go, I answered with,"the Great Burger." Ever since, I had heard of their lamb burger, the place was on my to do list. With an added bonus of the walk from Gaien to Cat Street being a wonderful one, I was both hungry and in a jolly mood when we got to the Great Burger. The Avocado, Mozzarella cheese, Lamb Burger was fantastic. The meat was juicy, and definitely tasted of lamb, but was not overbearing in anyway. The buns were perfect (same as Burger Mania?). Another additional bonus, one of the chefs had a Burger Mania T-shirt. Full set here.
やっと念願のthe Great Burgerに行った。先日 マットとクリスと神宮外苑のバッティングセンターに行った。110キロでも130キロでもあまり前に飛ばなかったけど、充実感を味わえた。マットがまだ昼食べてなかったので、彼から問いかけがあったら""the Great Burger"と即答。ラムバーガーの存在を聞いていた瞬間から行きたかった場所へ遂に!外苑からキャットストリートへの散歩も気持ちよくお店に着いたときにはお腹も空いていて気分もハイ。注文したアボカド・モッツァレラ・ラムバーガーも最高。完全に羊だけど、臭くなく、美味しい。店員の人がバーガーマニアのT-シャツ着ていた。写真はここ。
