There was no word on the cause or how widespread the outage was. …

my blackberry works. doom waits another day.

[Brock]

it's seems possible that "they" are testing distruptions in communication, to see how the public reacts, and also to use a "Cook the Frog Slowly" strategy. There recently was an iPhone falure in the US, and internet cables cut.

That's terrible!

Folks-you may not realize this, but as we speak thousands of self absorbed upwardly mobile types are taking out their rage on some poor clerk behind the counter.

They take this disruption in service very serious, I guess we should too.

[Daculling]

Good! It's a start. I just checked, my leash still works. But then again is it still a leash if I only check that it's not working?

Although Gold said he thought last year's outage gave him a needed break from work, Monday's frayed his last nerve.

"I cannot believe this happened again," he said as he got off a plane Monday. "I'm on the road 300 days a year. My entire life is in my BlackBerry — my family life, my professional life, my emotional life, everything. ... They're not allowed to do this to me."

I do not own a cell phone, I do not own a mobile anything. I do not rely on the trappings that most modern sheep rely on. I own a computer, but that is for my own personal pleasure and decandance. I can do without.. How many of you can honestly claim to be free of the devices that enslave those that you laugh at? I would say very few of you.


I personally think that 99% of you still do not get it ( Oh sure I hear you hem and hawing and talking about the end of the modern era, but you are not living it), and I am forced to post BS in order to stir you up to realize that the end game is approaching. You are all wearing my patience thin. This is not a game, this is real. Until you wake up, I hope you keep enjoying your half caff extra foam grande latte's and that suv you have parked in your soccermom garage.

How many of you are in good enough shape? How many of you can do 30 pushups or even run a mile? How many of you are just a bunch of fat computer loving slobs with crumbs all over your bloated gut from the Extra Cheese Meat Lovers pizza you had tonight?

Worried about fucking black berry service... damn you all sometimes sicken the fuck out of me.

And you wonder why I would choose the military over you all.

[vision-master]

Never heard of "blackberry" service? Is it some kind of cell phone thingy? I hate those contraptions anyhoo.

[eXpat]

I used to work (till very recently) in a call center for tech support for the VAIO's, i had a good 50% of customers that will bitch for ages if the f**cking machine had a failure, because they said their hole life was there, and the problem with the computer was putting stress in the relation with family and friends. No folks, they are not prepared for the ramifications of PO or anything at all...
