Tech: We owe AT&T an apology for that iPhone tethering thing

  • There are a lot of reports out there, but wanted you guys to know that rumors of $55 tethering plan on top of an unlimited data plan are false. We’ll have more news to share when the iPhone tethering option is closer to launch.
  • AT&T • In a statement on their Facebook page. They claim that the iPhone won’t have a super-expensive tethering plan, as some sites (uh, us) reported. However, in case anyone’s wondering, the simple tethering-enabling hack works – and well, too, with speeds that compare favorably to wi-fi connections. It’s freaking fast. • source

Tech: Available options for enabling tethering on your AT&T iPhone

  • According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (where friend of the site Megan Lavey works), AT&T plans to offer a super-expensive $55 data plan to allow you to use the iPhone’s 3G on your laptop. Laaaaaaaaame.
  • According to 9to5Mac (where, sadly, no friends of the site work), you can hack your 3.0-upgraded iPhone using some simple non-jailbreaking steps to enable tethering in five minutes. Guess which one we’re doing?

Politics, Tech: You’re lying to yourself if you think you’ll make money blogging

  • Google ads pay almost nothing. Banner ads are worth almost nothing, and the market for advertising has cratered with the Great Recession.
  • Blogger Jake Seliger • Who combined the main points of two articles we recently posted about to make the argument that we’ll never make money blogging. But it doesn’t mean we won’t keep trying. Because we’re crazy and apparently aren’t sure how to stop. • source
