KGB Sells your number!
Posted by Matt Fowler in Uncategorized on October 13, 2009
Can’t write much because I’m actually on the road to the St. Louis Dethklok/Mastodon show, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I strongly believe that the 99 cent question answerer KGB sells your cell number to sponsors and other third parties.
I know this because I hadn’t received any “spam” texts since I texted KGB (not actually asking a question – just seeing what happens when you just text them saying hello)
Then today I received a short digit text explaining the latest deals with a “reply STOP to end service”, which I did opt out of – which may have hooked me into more, we will find out.
Either way, gotta go.. My heart will go on just came on…..crying time.
Powermat?
Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on October 5, 2009
Anybody heard anything about Powermats? I mean I understand that it is something inside the back panels that connects wirelessly to the mat. Something tells me it’s not safe. Could be wrong.
Little pricey, but I guess it’s a little worth it.
$99.99 Powermat Portable Recharging Mat.
Target or Best Buy
$29.99 iPhone or iPod Touch “receivers”
And $29.99 for a DS too! Yeah!
It sounds great, but it just almost seems like something that would either get your phone hot — and you know the problems that follow that. And then maybe it would screw up the charging system. Maybe thinking that it is fully charged when it’s not. I do know that when you have a constant WiFi connection the battery power is pleh (new word) on phones. Does just fine on iPhone/iPod Touch and DS.
Hurrah! I hope it’s legit and non damaging…because…I want it.
It will make my blackberry, however, even less pocket friendly. Sadness on a silver platter.
I want one but I just wonder how legit they are. Not that it’s a scam, but maybe. Give it some thought at least.
Let me know what you think.
