Geeking out!

I just want to get vocal about a few things that are really cheesing me right now.

I got a sms, email, and a letter is apparently on the way, from AT&T yesterday.  It seems that AT&T doesn’t own any cellular infastructure in Dodgeville, where I work.  So any time I use my iPhone in Dodgeville I am using “off-network” data.  The sms/email/letter state that I am using too much data (I’m paying for unlimited data), and that if I continue to use this amount of data my service agreement may be terminated with them.  So… basically they can’t deliver the service I’m paying for.  And they’re going to kick me out.  In 120 days when my situation is “re-evaluated”.  At this point I would be totally ok with that, they’d be doing me a favor.

Item 2 on my “things I hate” list right now is a game publisher called Ubisoft.  Ubisoft will henceforth require an active internet connection to play every single one of their newly published games for the PC, regardless of whether the gameplay would actually require one (all single player games will have this “functionality”).  So if you internet ever goes down, if you are traveling, if your router sneezes, you will be unable to play.  If you are in the middle of a game when your internet hiccups you will get booted from your game.  Ubisoft is now on the list of banned games in my household.  I will be doing what I can to warn people of this disease of a company.
