Instead of sending me spam email advertising your new GPS service, how about pulling your finger out and providing the MMS service that Apple have been dubiously promoting for around six months now? (“Late Summer” my arse).

The moment I can get an iPhone on Verizon, you guys are toast.

Bests,

Andrew

No, none of these were the number I eventually chose, but I do wonder why companies such as AT&T don’t offer anything like this. (Ok, I already know – these types of company rarely innovate until forced to by threats to their market share from younger companies or changing technology).

If you haven’t checked out Google Voice yet then you definitely should, it’s very very neat.

Actually it’s not just LA – one time in San Francisco the window of my hotel room was somewhere in the middle of a giant Giselle’s left boob.

Sometimes you’ll see brilliant advertisements, like this one for Resistance 2 on a Wilshire Blvd office block.

On the other side of the coin, this is the advert that appeared on the side of my office this week;

My window is right above the cheese topping :(
