I normally don’t blog about the auto industry unless its tech related but I just felt like blogging about this at the time of this writing because this is something that you don’t see everyday. You pretty much don’t want to see this happen anyway.

I’ve been reading news about the big three auto makers – Ford, GM and Chrysler asking for bailouts with GM needing the bailout asap because it will run out of money at the end of this year. More than 50% of the people oppose that idea. I too agree with these people mainly because I believe that if a company fails, it is its responsibilty to manage its own mess either by some form of restructuring and job cutting instead of simply asking for the government’s help. I think all these reason bailouts are really spoiling these bailed out companies. So people running businesses will now think that failing is ok because our government will always bail us out. As much as I don’t want to see any company fails, these companies, specifically the big 3s, need to accept failures. And I can imagine why people are opposing since the bailout money comes from tax payers.

There are different wireless companies out there and most likely you have heard of them like AT & T, Sprint, Tmobile and Verizon. Another competitor out there called SouthernLINC Wireless offers competitive cell phone plans compare to those wireless service providers. SouthernLINC Wireless also has a feature called Push To Talk or PTT developed by Motorola, which is a 2-way radio technology that offers talking one-to-one, in a group, off-network or even directly from your computer! This technology is very secure as there is no known scanners that can intercept communications between you and the other person. PTT can benefit businesses in particular because it allows employees to freely and easily communicate with one another and its cheaper than with a phone call.

Reliability-wise, SoutherLINC Wireless has a utility grade network with proven reliability through all kinds of weather and has the most comprehensive coverage throughout the Southeast (Georgia to Alabama to Southeast Mississippi to Northwest Florida).

Another thing I like about it is the fact that you will get a notification when you are roaming outside of SouthernLINC Wireless calling area so you won’t accidentally make calls and get charged because it SoutherLINC Wireless knows you don’t want to pay that high roaming charges unintentionally.

If you are looking for a different wireless service provider, you should check out SouthernLINC Wireless’ business cell phone plans as well as their family cell phone plans.

Its been more than 1 year since I got my copy of Call of Duty 4 for the PlayStation 3 and I am still crazy about this game. So far I have logged more than 7 days worth online, which is on average more than 40 minutes a day. I just can’t stop playing this game, mainly because I have always been into guns my whole life since my uncle introduced me to the world of BB guns when I was less than 10 years old! I used to be a Counter Strike addict since high school but as soon as COD 4 was released I jumped the boat almost right away. Honestly CS:S was getting a bit old, playing the same people/servers/maps (I used to play dust/dust2 24/7 servers by the way). Still it was and still is one of the best first person shooter out there in my opinion.

I was really and I mean REALLY tempted to buy Call of Duty: World at War, mainly because of its co-op multiplayer game mode, the flame thrower, the unlockable zombie level and finally one of my ex co-worker told me to get it because he is playing with my other ex co-workers (used to play COD4 with them almost every Thursday).

In the end I have decided not to get it simply because my preference for modern/futuristic first person shooter weights far more than the said reasons why I wanted to buy. Another deal breaker is the fact that I won’t have time to play both series since I hardly have time to play COD4 these days.

Even after the release of Call of Duty: World at War, I haven’t noticed any drop in players for COD4 at all. I guess I’m not the only one who prefers having modern wars, or maybe some people just have the time for both series.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I still miss the co-op missions, the mighty flame thrower and most of all, the unlockable zombie level! For those that have the game, I am sure you guys are enjoying it.
