Stay away from Software Upgrade Assistant...

About 2 weeks ago I read a very disturbing article in the LA Times about Verizon and one of their Marketing strategies that I found deeply disturbing. Now, it dawned on me that certainly Verizon is looking for a way to introduce the idea and certainly pushing this KitKat update in the way it is being handled rather than the form of an OTA kinda plays well with this article. I suggest reading the article; again it was listed in the LA Times called, "Verizon Wireless sells out customers with creepy new tactic." None-the-less this something to be on the look out for.

Yea I saw that article a few weeks ago...it's sad that all the carriers are doing that. What was it...a few years ago there was a big stink about cell phone browsers routing through a DoD database....the price of technology.

Nice and informative read, but the one thing they writer of the article could have covered was how to find that page on Verizon Wireless.com and opt out. That is how you provide your readers with value and service. We all know links can become invalid so put in the keywords or something. I am going back grudgingly to Verizon (coverage in certain areas is a must) and I will be looking for the opt out page, using "Disconnect" in Google Chrome and clearing my browser history after each Verizon Wireless.com log in. You need to take a shower after you visit them.
