AT&T 3g Coverage

AT&T has been known for promoting their efficient 3g coverage. Unfortunately, their coverage is not currently available everywhere. Florence is one of those areas that does not offer 3g coverage. I am not doubting the quality of AT&T as a phone service, but some of their newest commercials and advertisements include statements that are not necessarily true for every location. I am an AT&T user, but lack service in many places (even my apartment). Also, those who have the Iphone can not use every feature without access to a working 3g network. The company previously stated that towers around the area would be updated by February 2009, but now they are saying that it will not be until "first quarter 2010".

The mobile market is one of the most competitive today. All phone companies have had to step up their game to survive the economic recession. AT&T is known for using celebrity endorsements and humorous content to promote their products. They also do not hesitate say slanderous comments about their competitors.

Do you think AT&T's advertisements are misleading to the public? Also, do you think their advertising methods are an effective way to promote their products or do you think they are merely trying to mask some unfortunate truths about their phone service?

New Compurters Feature Face Detection Logins

The latest computers have become so innovative that they now include a new face detection login feature. Instead of typing in a password to log on, when a user turns the computer on it automatically scans their face and immediately logs the user in to their personal settings. The function can be turned on or off depending on the user's preference.

Do you think this new way to personalize your computer is a good development in the right direction for security purposes?
