  10. Its interesting that the increase in spam, and the corresponding drop in signal to noise ratio is why some people have moved away from email as a communications medium.

  12. But will deleting your account remove your email from their (previously sold?) mailing list? In the same way as using a unique identifier (middle initial, etc) when "registering" stuff with your physical name / address - so you can identify the source of spam , maybe you should use a disposable / forwarding / aggregating email address . Of course now that the HF horse has bolted its a bit late to bar the email gate as it were. Mind you, if you, like me, have friends + relations who don't and won't understand the concept of bcc, no matter how many times you tell them, then many of your email addresses are already out in the wild, never to fade away. (E.g. how many times have you seen a "Here's a funny" with multiple fw's and cascaded email addresses ripe for harvesting.)

  18. the cost of service is the same no matter who's phone you have - if all you were buying was the service. If they can offer you a "free" phone, then guess what - you're overpaying for the service. In some countries they have this thing called "transparency" where you can compare the cost of the service vs the cost of the phone, and work out how much the effective APR is for the loan on the phone the telco is providing you with. People who can do TCO calculations have picked up on this and engage in phone arbitrage in some markets, where they acquire in one market at resell it in another at an effective profit. As to "used" non apple devices having no value, it would appear that some people have spotted the opportunity for arbitrage here as well. http://www.gazelle.com/sell/cell-phone http://sellphonebuyback.com/default/ http://www.buybackworld.com/sell-and-recycle-android http://www.talkandroid.com/125953-samsung-offering-buyback-program-for-old-phones-if-you-buy-a-galaxy-device/
