Verizon new fee abandoned
Yesterday there was news about Verizon planning to charge its customers a $2 convenience fee if they didn’t pay their bills over the counter or through auto-billing. Today it looks like those charges won’t ever come into play. According to reports online – Verizon has announced that it will not be charging its customers the $2 fee. This comes after the countless complaints from its customers that can be seen on blogs and in the comments section all over the internet, and also after the FCC mentioned that it would be looking into the situation.
What’s interesting is that the fee wasn’t even officially announced yet – it was discovered via a leaked document, so it makes me wonder about what would happen if the document wasn’t leaked and the convenience fees came into play without giving people a chance to complain about it beforehand – would things turn out differently?

Looking for the next cool underwater ride to spend your money on? AquaVenture’s SeaBird might be what you need. The company recently announced a new version of its SeaBird submarine – a unique submarine that doesn’t rely on an engine in order to move through water. If you’re wondering how it gets from once place to another, the answer is simple. No there’s no magic or trickery involved, but thanks to the help of another vessel.
There is nothing quite like the frustrating feeling of sinking your rear end down on an invitingly soft sofa, only to realize that someone had just got up from that spot, leaving an uncomfortable and warm ‘experience’ envelop you instead. Well, perhaps the introduction of
One thing that both men and women can agree on – they tend to disagree on many things. When it comes to home design, the same principle applies, so some sort of understanding must be arrived at if the home were to exist in harmony. Most of the working class guys out there would definitely welcome a Porsche in their homes, but how about the idea of just the rear end of a Porsche 996 that holds a 42″ flat panel TV in the process? The lady of the house will most probably not find this too amusing, as a TV rack or shelf might be far more practical.
One of the most brilliant minds on this planet belongs to Stephen Hawking, and he needs a geek who has the heart and interest in maintaining his special wheelchair. This particular gadget whiz will be paid a modest £25,000 so that Mr. Hawking’s custom-made ride will keep on rollin’. I can almost see a meme appearing already, with the tag line “They see me thinkin’, they hatin’.” What makes this wheelchair all the more special is its ability to convey what Mr. Hawking wants to say through a robotic voice box.
I know that April Fool’s Day is not here yet, but that does not mean you cannot have a good laugh before we bid 2011 goodbye. Remember the Mirrorbook Air that
Are you one of those who managed to get hold of the PlayStation Vita? It has not exactly flew off the shelves in terms of sales figures in the Land of the Rising Sun, so hopefully the rather slow start is not an omen of things to come. After all, the Sony PS3 did take its fair share of time to rise up the sales charts slowly but surely, as they were initially covered by an avalanche of Nintendo Wii sales. Well, for folks who reside in Europe and in the US, the Vita is said to arrive only on February 22nd next year. Good thing for grey imports, as well as having friends who live in another part of the world. What you see below is a video of the PS Vita being unboxed, and just in case you are not too sure whether it was a case of too much beer or your ears are giving up on you, the video’s actually in German.

Talk about taking great lengths to go green – Fisker Karma’s interior wants to wrap you in luxury, and yet it intends to maintain a balanced outlook by using low-carbon leather. Bridge of Weir leather was their main pick, where it is known for its luxurious feel as well as low environment impact during processing. Already out in the market for three months, and the Fisker Karma has picked up its fair share of bouquets, touting it to be “green” and luxurious. You will get some change (just a little) from the $100,000 you coughed up for this plug-in hybrid, but at least you know it has already picked up the “Luxury Car of the Year” gong by BBC Top Gear magazine to ferry around you in style – while having a heart for the environment, to boot.
