I'm acutally suprised Apple isn't suing for ripping off the "theres an app for that" instead of app, verizon used map, but mabey At&T is suing too for that same reason

Look at the very bottom between the comments and the verdict, it shows prices. and they probaly don't list in in the actual article cause it can change, they use the price grabber thing so it auto updates

The issue isn't so much cost, more so the principal, but it also kinda sucks throwing money at them too but i don't know if i'm the only person to think your kinda creapy stalker ish to be able to even find my old comment, and why would you anyways. and i nkow i'm the only person who thinks they need to stop doing this, look at the replies to my thread

What i'm wondering, is what the heck are they doing with releasing the upgrades without having achievments. I think they should have to earn them like they have in the past

"I think the problem is that people need to understand that there are different kinds of data."

 Like you didn't understand about packets on the internet! There are two main types, TCP/IP packets, and UDP Packets. TCP always establishes a connection to the other host before sending any data, while UDP just sends it to the address and hopes it gets there. And while TCP has Acknowledgements to let the sender know that it recieved the packet, UDP doesn't. And if a packet is lost, TCP will send a new packet, while UDP will not. 

TCP is used mainly for Webbrowsing and other common tasks were speed is not as important as reliability. While UDP is used in places that speed is what matters, and if you lose a packet or two, oh well Such as video streaming(YouTube) and Voice Streaming(VOIP). 

As you could guess that UDP uses a lot less bandwidth for each packet, while TCP uses a lot more for FIN, ACK, SYN, and other commands that each go in a seprate packet back to the host

Now please take note that this is a rather simplified version, but you get the basic idea.

It would take a long time to explain everything in great detail, but this is about as simplified as i could be while still proving a point
