Don't Freak Out if Your iPhone Is Wonky

Gizmodo reports that AT&T's data service is currently kaput in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. We haven't been able to access any data-related services since 10 a.m. or so, and we're guessing most other folks are experiencing much the same. So far no one's lodged any serious complaints, but it's a safe bet that if this lingers for more than a day or two, society as we know it will come to a screeching halt. Update: coincidentally, a new survey reveals that over 60% of Americans simply cannot be without their cell phone service. [Giz] [Austin Business Journal]

I was wondering what the hell was going on. Tried to read the NYTimes while at lunch and just thought that Chick-Fil-A didn't allow such a liberal rag to be viewed inside their establishment.....

Oh goodie! I shall expect a discount on my next phone bill.

Hah, I hope so, but doubt it will happen.

I never get service anywhere anyway. I thought it was just a normal day.
