AT&T Doubles Data Plan Sizes in Huge Limited-Time Promo
If you are a present customer of AT&T and meet the requirement of having two or more lines or thinking of becoming a customer, AT&T will be having a month-long promo that will double your data plan just for the asking. The promotion is limited, but the doubling of data is permanent.
Of note, while these new plans are part of a limited-time promotion, the increased data plan sizes do not expire; if you switch to a promotional plan before November, the size of your data bucket will remain doubled until you cancel your service or switch to a new plan.

Miss a Payment? Good Luck Moving That Car
Big Brother is not only watching you, he is now riding shotgun in your new car thanks to some very intrusive technology. Subprime borrowers, those who buy new cars but lack a perfect credit rating, in many cases have to agree to the installation of a remotely controlled starter interrupter device prior to leaving the showroom. Ain't technology grand.
The devices, which have been installed in about two million vehicles, are helping feed the subprime boom by enabling more high-risk borrowers to get loans.

Take this for what it's worth; an unconfirmed report from an Indonesian source says that systems running Windows 8 will be entitled to a free upgrade to the upcoming Windows 9/Threshold/Whatever OS.

What better way of putting a bad version of Windows to bed than giving free upgrades to a (hopefully) better system?
All though not much is known about Windows 9 and Microsoft hasn't officially confirmed or launched the new OS yet, it is rumored to be revealed during the September 30 press event.
