I picked up a...

new Mac mini this past weekend (the 1.66 version) to act as my media server. I did some pricing and after purchasing a network attached storage device, which are sketchy at best without shelling out major cash, and other components I decided that for just a bit more I could get a full service computer. So far everything is running very smoothly and I'm rather pleased with the setup. The $100 Mac rebate doesn't exactly hurt either.

I had been reading...

about Verizon Wireless cracking down on people exceeding this new "5 gig limit" on their supposed "unlimited" EVDO network but so soon?! My account was having authentication issues starting Tuesday night and after a nice little call I was made aware my account has been cancelled due to excessive, use which violate my Terms of Service. I was told I can reactivate my card now that I am aware of what I am allowed to do... but do I really want to go back to them? Not right now I don't. I just placed my order to have my home broadband installed again. So much for unlimited broadband anywhere.
