I am wondering how expensive this would be for a pre-paid plan as a last resort to google information or fetch some mobile sites. I know it is 10c to send SMS and 25c to receive MMS, so can we assume that it would cost a minimum of 35c per each request? If the browser requests more resources when the JS is executed, would it automatically result in more requests to be sent? Can this be somehow controlled? I have unlimited data, so don't need this, but the wife uses a prepaid plan and T-Mobile has no viable data options, so would like to give this option in case of "emergency".


Article says deoxidation causes the orange juice to become bland, so what happens to the original sugars? I can understand adding flavors, but that would not bring back the sweetness, if the deoxidation destroyed them, so do they add extra sugars as well?


Well said! Very badly written.


If any caller can find out if I am on a call or not (among other details), it could be a big privacy or even a security issue.


Likewise, only trusted callers can. Think your mother ;).


Thanks for asking the question, I have been doing the research myself to move away from google notes and google bookmarks. I have been trying Evernote and so far don't like it much. All the interfaces that I tried (web, windows client, chrome extension, iphone and android apps) are clumsy, slow and lacking. I don't especially like the fact that desktop clients have offline support for free, but you need to pay for the mobile clients to get this functionality. I am looking at SpringPad as an alternative (their web and android interface seems snappy, and they support offline storage as well as no storage limits), but waiting for them to add a feature to import and export data. I will not try a product that locks in user data.
