Mobile operators have charged too much for too long. Rebtel will change that forever. Check out the rates. CellCom/Orange/Pelephone wake up!
For only $1 USD a week, Rebtel gives you local numbers for all your global friends. If you don't make any Rebtel calls during a week there are no charges, not even the $1 USD per-week fee.
YackieMobile from my friend Florian is also pushing in that sense

Florian just indicated me something that really blew me. By default microsoft takes/steals 20% of your bandwith (reserved for updates)
If you don't believe me check out that screenshot below i discovered on my windows XP
So if you don't have 100% of bandwith here is what you should do (takes 10secs)
If you like the story you can digg it

Israel is probably one of the only countries i know where you can negotiate virtually anything. I mean anything. For good and for bad.
Another stunning thing is that most of the time most service providers (telphone..) will not inform (or will do it in a very bad way) of a change of price of service (specially if it goes down) and i personnally ended paying more for longer many times.
Most services company in Israel hardly use direct mail (for cost reason i guess) and expect you to be aware of all terms of your contract (end of promotion, new prices published on their website,..)
Which makes me UPSET. REALLY UPSET.
And therefore you have to get used to complaining to get your point. And complaining is an art/sport that is took me time to learn in Israel. So if you are new to this country here is some tips
I will illustrate it with an example that shows how much you can earn from it.
I discovered yesterday that YES my Cable TV was charge me an Extra dollar for France 2. I discovered it by chance. which started to get me hot. Instead of sending a mail or even an email, they published a small tv message accessible only if you know to read hebrew by pressing a green button on your remote control. Meaning no chance to get the message (that mentions i will be charged automatically)
Anyway, this put me in a total rage after France 2 was stop being broadcast here and then came back after thousands of people complained about it. So here is what happens this morning.
Conclusion:
I use that pattern often and IT WORKS. I got recently a Free pizza with all supplements and drings, i reduced my phone bill by 50% and even got a lot of extra miles to my frequent flyer.
Why do i do that? for the money? no (at the end of the end it is nothing).

> Here are the services that let you watch tvs for free from your computer. You can watch in streaming quality a very high selection of real TV channels on the internet without paying a dime.
There is no doubt those services will be shut down as they are not legal, but they start to be numerous and war against them will not be an easy one.
Those services let you access TONES of TV channels for free from all over the world including BBC news, ESPN…
Quality is not the best but HEY IT S FREE! That is just blowing me up. Btw, this is a reason more to believe that TV+COMPUTER is an inevitable merge.
So my question is: for when a service that will let you buy products for free?

Forget about any free storage solution offering you 1/2/3 giga for free. Mediamax is offering you 25Giga of storage with 500M of download /share per month.
You can storage/ share / stream / view Photos, audio, sounds, files. Smart storage feature: just upload your file and it will be placed automatically in the right type file
I tried it: it is quite good although i deplore the user interface could be more sexy and upload faster.
This is the largest free storage solution on the market. When i think that Gmail, Yahoo, Boltfolio, Flickr (even typepad…)and others limit you to 1/2 Giga…Come one guys you can do better than that….
I believe in desktop dematerialization and anticipate hardware storage will be soon hard-anywhere (already wrote about it): your files in one centrale place accessible from everywhere from any device, safely guarded and backed-up.
I also believe the price of the hosted giga will dramatically decrease in the next couple of years as usage (couple with very high speed internet) will increase.
PS: if you are willing to pay it goes up to 1 tera…

I just discovered that you can save 1.57% on amazon by using A9. That s not negligeable if you are buying a lot on amazon. How?
You are supposed to be eligible to the reward programm after “a few days” of use of A9. But amazon does not precise how much you have to use A9. The regularity is the key factor to keep the elegibility (but again what is elegibility). Apparently they can generate this rebate thanks to sponsored links revenue although you don t have to click to get the rebate.
One metaphysical question: How did they they calculate 1.57%? why not 1.58%?
One business question: will that make a difference? Don t know.
My Tip: before you buy your product on amazon, first search for it in A9, even if you know exactly what you need. like that you get your reduction
