This article was great. I appreciated the dry humor, and the know-how of Shawn.

I still use Reader, but just follow the info I want, subscribing and unsubscribing from feeds as necessary. Also, am using it through Feedly extension in Chrome.

I know the guy behind this, also happens to be one of the guys behind HarrisburgNightOut.com - I actually worked for them almost a year ago. The traffic is exagerated, this guy is full of it. The Google Analytics data that they show is altered, severely.

Re: iSupportHarrisburg… from where?

Haha... yeah, I hate seeing sites like this that "look" like they are local, but in reality are run from some company 1,000 miles away and no nothing about the local area. Boo...

Funny, this same thing happened to me in NH a few years back. Comcast would do nothing. I eventually tried hooking my TV into the cable and had signal. Signal was good the entire 11 months I was in NH. So Comcast lost out on a digit triple play package for a year while I got free TV/Internet...

Yes whine! It's the internet way of civil disobedience.

Better yet, have the CSR put a notation on the disconnect/reconnect order to verify the copy of the lease when he/she arrives, just like would be done at the office. This will save a truck roll (e.g. do only ONE instead of TWO ... to disconnect, then a week later, reconnect).

Still, whatever the process, the CSR should have been the one to recommend something reasonable (suggesting to wait until 30 days past the next billing cycle is absolutely not reasonable).

Hi Verizon LPC Team

The level 1 CSRs should be (trained to be) able to at least recognize this type of situation, and either forward the call, or inform the customer directly, of the Verizon LPC Team @ 973-622-1109. No CSR should ever leave a customer hanging just because the fix is outside of their authority or training. What happened to @Shawn is a "CSR FAIL".

So ... can you make the suggestion to management to get this kind of thing fixed so that any future customers with this situation ... especially already existing Verizon customers that just moving and want to move services ... can get the matter proper referred by 1st level CSRs when it is encountered? It would help make Verizon look much better than that other company. But don't tell that to management ... just tell them it will help the bottom line.

With Comcast, you should be able to go to your local service centre with a copy of your lease and have them disconnect services (at least that was how it worked when I was with them).

Worth a shot perhaps?

Shawn, Call the Verizon LPC @ 973-622-1109 We should be able to assist or get someone that can get this issue resolved.

Regards Verizon LPC Team

Re: Facebook’s acquisition of Drop.io: file-sharing on the way?

This is interesting. I'm guessing that this might be to improve Facebook's video uploading service (which stinks like rotten raccoon)

You certainly can take a screenshot without rooting your phone. Setting it up isn't as easy as an apple app, no doubt about that, but it took me maybe 5 mins.

You can easily lock screen rotation with the app AutoRotate OnOff in the market.

You can control Pandora through a home screen widget if you don't want to open the app.

Not a chance. I like the idea, but it's impossible. No Office. No Photoshop. No local storage. :)

I don't know if that's the right answer? Every app could use some work. But it's often true that the big blogs are only looking for big names. We should connect and see who you reached out to and what the pitch was.

Yeah, excellent point, although IIRC, AT&T didn't do that (notify you) in the beginning either.

I had this post in my head, and when I got too close to Robert, I backed off. You don't want to cross Scoble. Trust me.
