Google Voice, Free calling within the US and Canada through 2013

The Gmail Team has confirmed that Google Voice will provide free calling within the US and Canada through 2013.

Many of you call phones from Gmail to easily connect with friends and family. If you’re in the US and Canada, you’ll continue to be able to make free domestic calls through 2013. Plus, in most countries, you can still call the rest of the world from Gmail at insanely low rates.

We here rely on Google Voice for our day to day operation and we are glas that Google is providing this service for free*. For that we thank Google.

* We are aware that Google is monetizing the free service in one way or another.

The Revolt Against Rogers Canada

short version which will be updated later with a longer version because this one is really bugging me.

Blah blah blah iPhone 3g blah blah Canada, blah blah blah Rogers.

Rogers reveals iPhone 3G plan for Canada. No unlimited wireless data plan.

The series of tubes explodes with anger. iPhone 3G + Rogers = Screw You Canadian.

blah blah blah, tell Steve Jobs about it blah blah blah.

——-

Compared to AT&T plan for the iPhone 3G in the United States, the Canadian seems to get the shor end of the stick.

The main question is, why the revolt now? What about the Blackberry data plan? It was even more horrible than the iPhone 3G data plan.

The iPhone 3G can stir things up better than the Blackberry. Where’s the revolt against the Blackberry data plan? Blackberry + Rogers = Screw You Canadian

All in all, the wireless data plans in Canada are horrible to begin with. That has nothing to do with the iPhone 3G. Is the iPhone 3G plan any better than before. It seems to be that way, but what do I knwo. I’m still trying to figure it out reading Rogers site.

In clonclusion, blah blah blah iPhone 3G blah blah blah Steve Jobs blah blah blah Apple blah blah blah Rogers screws customers regardless.

Season 12 Episode 4 - “Canada On Strike” - Terrance & Philip

From South Park Studios: (announced on March 30th, 2008)

This Week on South Park: “Canada on Strike”
The head of the World Canadian Bureau leads the country into a long and painful strike and the responsibility of brokering a settlement rests with the boys.

Boys call Canada

From today’s Comedy Central Press Release:

CANADA TAKES A STAND
IN AN ALL-NEW “SOUTH PARK” ON
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL

NEW YORK, March 31, 2008 – Canadians want more money and decide to stage a strike in an all-new episode of “South Park,” entitled, “Canada On Strike!,” premiering on Wednesday, April 2 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on COMEDY CENTRAL.

The head of the World Canadian Bureau leads the country into a long and painful strike and the responsibility of brokering a settlement rests with the boys. Meanwhile, people from Denmark flock to the U.S. and cross the picket lines to take the place of the striking Canadians. In conflict over whether or not to stand with their countrymen, Terrance and Phillip uncover the truth behind the outrageous cost of the strike.

South Park Season 12 Episode 4 on:

  • iTunes Store – UNCENSORED (available on Saturday – April 5th, 2008)
  • Amazon Unbox (available on Saturday – April 5th, 2008)

South Park Studios and Comedy Central would like to remind you if you are looking for South Park episode, you can get it at iTunes Store, Amazon Unbox, or xBox LIVE instead of downloading the AVI or RM files off torrents from site likes mrtwig.net or southparkfiles.com. Comedy Central is so relieved that mrtwig.net is currently down. Another reminder from the Good Ol’ Comedy Central that asks everyone to stay away from southparkfiles.com, because southparkfiles.com has every single South Park episode made available in one form or another. Yeah, please do not go search for “South Park Torrent” on Google.

Remember downloading TV episodes off torrents is generally frowned upon by the TV networks. It’d be very very very wrong to download South Park episodes off torrent sites such as mrtwig.net where you can find high quality South Park episodes in AVI and RM. Please forget that you can find high quality South Park episode links on the Internet because Comedy Central would like you to purchase them. One final note, Comedy Central thanks you for purchasing South Park DVDs.

South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy DVD
Dubbed as “Uncensored Director’s Cut”, this DVD would include unaired scenes from the trilogy. Would the DVD set make any different since all of Season Eleven Episodes are available for purchase on iTunes Store and Amazon Unbox. Of course! The DVD is higher quality than the digital download version, and it is not crippled with DRM.
