AT&T and Verizon Slash Their Prices in an All-Out Price War
In: web resources
18 Jan 2010
If you thought AT&T and Verizon weren’t at war already, today will change your mind. In an effort to undercut each other, both networks have dropped the prices of their unlimited voice plans, including the unlimited plans of iPhone owners (but with a caveat).
Verizon was the first to strike. Earlier today they revealed a new set of nationwide plans for unlimited talk and text. An Unlimited Talk plan now costs $69.99, a full $29 cheaper per month. Unlimited Talk and Text now costs $89.99. Family plans and low-end data plans have also been overhauled (the $19.99 3G data package no longer exists). These new prices will not impact existing customers unless they change their plans (which requires no contract extension or penalty).
It didn’t take long for AT&T to respond, though. It just announced its own price cuts, matching the price of Verizon’s unlimited voice plan ($69.99) and unlimited talk and text ($89.99). The iPhone, labeled by AT&T as a smartphone, costs $99.99 for unlimited voice and data, while texting plans remain unchanged ($20 for unlimited). And just like Verizon, AT&T customers can switch to these new plans, starting on Monday, without penalty or contract extension.
If you want all of the details of the new package plans, you can read the announcements from Verizon and AT&T, but the point is that all of us iPhone and Droid subscribers can start enjoying lower price starting Monday.
Don’t you just love all-out competition? I sure do, and so does my wallet.

A Cavaeat is a clause, usually a disclaimer. It would depend on exactly how it is worded as to what it means, but basically it usually is that their are no implied warranties on anything that is not specifically indicated – you are basically getting it "as is" and have no recourse unless the seller/landlord fraudulently represented something to be something that was not true (ex: said the water heater was 1 yr old and turns out the model hasn't been made in over 10 years).

This depends on the conditions stipulated in the original contract. However it would be good practice to indicate to the employer in writing that you are not going to be extending the contract. They will probably be used as a reference at some point in your career and it is advisable to keep things professional and polite. For examples of resignation letters go to the website below.

Maybe it'd be best to be an example and try to get involved in some physical activities with her. Maybe ask her if she'd like to take walks, or maybe join a fun class at the Y like kickboxing or swimming (whatever you think she might be interested in) And be sure to cook healthy meals at home. Instilling healthy habits will be more effective than trying to talk to a 13 year old about her weight – they are very self-conscience and sensitive at that age and will probably just take offense.

There is this alternate office suite:

It can save in many different formats, even PDF. Besides, if using OpenDocument format, files are smaller.
