Mobil @ MindSay

I just picked up 10 quarts of Mobile 5-40w synthetic oil for my car. With the coupon you buy 4 get one free. Turned out to be pretty god deal. I think the deal expires september 1 2009. 

Der Mobilfunkanbieter "MoobiCent" konnte sich mit der ersten HSDPA Flatrate den Monopol sichern, versicherte einst eine echte Flatrate bis man schließlich die Kunden mit einer lahmen Konnektivität belästigte. Internet-Flatrates gab es zwar auch schon vorher, nur bieten "MoobiCent" als einziger Anbieter die unlimitierte Variante des HSDPA, die mit 3,6 Megabyte pro Sekunde im Downstream sicher nicht geizen.

Das Internetportal "teltarif.de" nahm das Angebot genauer unter die Lupe. Fakt ist, dass sich das Angebot nicht nur an Poweruser richtet, sondern unter anderem auch an Gelegenheitsnutzer, die das Netz quasi "entlasten". Nichtsdestotrotz: User mit einem exzessiven Verbraucher sind sicherlich gerne gesehen. Wie in dem Test beschrieben, kamen von Kunden, die bis zu drei Gigabyte monatlich verbraten, Beschwerden über gelegenlichte Performanceeinbrüche. Nicht DSL, was man ja eigentlich in mobiles Internet übertragen möchte, sondern ein Modem soll laut diesen die technische Vorlage sein. Die "RadiCens GmbH", welche für die Vermarktung des Düsseldorfer Anbieters "MoobiCent" verantwortlich ist, bestätigte diese Leistungsschwankungen gegenüber dem Handyportal "teltarif.de". Offen lies man allerdings die Frage, wie ausschweifend man sich mobil durch das World Wide Web klicken muss, um wirklich eine spürbare Veränderung zu bemerken. Wie solch eine Begrenzung auch zustande kommt, lies man unbeantwortet. Allerdings: Man versprach gegenüber dem Berliner Magazin, dass man sich dringend um das Problem kümmere und mit Hochdruck an einer Lösung arbeite.

Die Probleme seien nur von vorübergehender Natur. Man stehe aber Kunden, "die ihren Anschluss wegen der reduzierten Bandbreite kündigen wollen, nicht im Wege", heißt es aus Düsseldorf. Stellt sich noch die Frage nach (vielleicht besseren?) Alternativen. Die sind nämlich in jedem Fall gegeben, zum Beispiel bei der Konkurrenz von "E-Plus", aus dessen Lager es zwar nicht über Performanceeinbrüche zu hören gibt, dafür macht aber das Netz Probleme. Hier soll aber auch schon bald Nachhilfe in Form eines Updates gegeben sein.

here's something i got in my e-mail. i don't know if it'll actually work, but i s'pose it's worth a try if we all do it.

GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies
who retired from Halliburton. It's worth your consideration.

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might
go higher!!  Want gasoline prices to come down?  We need to take some intelligent, united action.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.  It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
$2.79 for regular unleaded in my town.  Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How?

Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if
we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.  If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an
impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now,
don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of
people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers.

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all! (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am so trust me on this one.) How long would all that take? If each of us sends
this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL  UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

First, the celebrity grocery store. I only saw a man buying an Ann Tyler book (she is known for being a women's writer) and so I wondered.  There was also a guy hitting up a girl and I wondered why I never get hit on in the grocery store...

Then on the way home three police cars passed me.  There must have been something going on at the Mobil at Bronson & Sunset. I was going to stop at McDonald's on the way home (I was very hungry), so I had to make a detour and eat at Tommy Burger instead (which was probably much better than McDonald's).
