that’s really unbelievable I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use http://s6x.it/2volf

I find it sad that people have to do this. Especially when you are judged by who you have in your friends list. Just because you consider someone a friend doesn’t mean you have the same values.

I agree that internet access should be free for everyone;even high speed broadband.Many things that we do,in our daily lives,are becoming more & more dependent,on the internet.Most websites you go to,no matter what ISP you have,show advertisements.The companies,that sell the space,to the advertisers,should pay a percentage(or a bigger percentage)of their sales,to the ISP,as an access fee.These fees would then be used as a substitute for ISP user subscriber fees. I’m not completely in agreement,with censoring adult content.What may be considered “adult” by one person,may not be thought of,as the same,by someone else;& you get into a slippery slope.I personally do not go to sex sites,but I have gone to some sites,including Lockergnome,& because of some software,I have on my PC,have been classified as adult.I feel that it is up to parents & guardians to monitor children’s web usage, There are plenty of(many free)software & hardware programs,that can help filter out unwanted websites.Cable & phone companies charge too much for internet access now – especially for middle & lower income people.If the government doesn’t step in,to require free high-speed,with a reasonable usage cap.like Comcast has(no,I’m NOT a Comcast fan);then the prices will continue to soar.
As a side thought;if the cable,satellite & phone companies,would charge the programmers access fees,instead of it being the other way around;we wouldn’t have to pay to watch commercials.Without the cable,satellite & phone providers;the programmers(like ESPN,FX,DISCOVERY,MTV etc.)wouldn’t have any way of getting their shows televised – just a thought

Do we want it passed? Whenever I see the term ‘free’ I have to wonder what’s in it for them.

Free now days just means you give up more privacy so advertiser and governments have an easier time to collect more information about you.
