Screem bloody robbery! According a recent publication in New York Times SMS messages are an ingenious way to rip off phone consumers. See, these messages contain miniscule amounts of data in comparison to any phone call, so they should cost around $0.00001. Why are the prices so high then? The usual suspects are collusion by the biggest of telecom companies. Where are the healthy workings of capitalism now?

Slate writes that AT&T is seriously considering digging through all our emails, chats, downloads and web stumbles. The excuse is "looking for content that violates US copyright laws", but the possibilities are truly endless!

Like that story goes, it's enough for that poor senator to google "hot asses" once in his life and his political career is riuned. Brought to you by your friends at AT&T!
