Telekom Austria (AON) also thinks we are stupid
Seems like AON is trying to fool consumers. They have launched (quite some time ago but I saw it now for the first time) a commercial campaign against mobile internet. They say that “real broadband” is better, faster and cheaper and also that if you have reached your limit you will have to pay for mobile internet but with “real broadband” you pay from 4 euro more and have flat rate.
Ok, lets compare
We will take the cheapest AON has to offer, that will be AON speed 500. This will be 20 Euro a month and receive 500MB traffic included and a speed of 512kbit/s down, we will ignore upstream. This means you could download with max 64kb/s!
And what if you exceed the included 500MB ? You pay 7 cents for each MB!
Oh, almost forgot, you need a phone connection for AON ! This means you also have to pay the phone, this is NOT included in the 20 Euro.
Now let’s look at what one HUI has to offer.
You pay 10 Euro a month and get 250MB for this, if you want extra 250MB you pay 5 Euro. So you have the 500MB for 15 Euro. How about the speed? See for your self

And what happens at one if you exceed the 500MB? Your speed will be limited. Thats all, no extra costs.
So, it’s cheaper, faster, which one would you chose?
But wait, AON said something about 4 Euro and flatrate …. yes, if you have the big package which costs 40 Euro, else the flatrate costs 10 Euro.
So it would be possible to get a flatrate from AON for 30 Euro (not included phone costs) but sure not as cheap as they are trying to tell you in the commercial.

Fuck MTV and VIVA, long live gotv
I didn’t watch MTV or VIVA since a long long time (over a year if not already two). First of all, the music they play is mostly crap. Second, the commercials, the ring tone commercials are just unbearable! Then they have got so many stupid shows. ehmmm… wasn’t MTV supposed to be “Music Television”? So who needs shows about the 16th birthday of some stupid kids? No matter if anybody knows them or not. Anyway, gotv also has commercials (why shouldn’t they) but they have maximum one commercial about ring tones and way on a higher IQ level then the stupid commercials from MTV.
Enough complaining today, it’s way to hot …

Mediamarkt thinks everyone is stupid …
Mediamarkt uses the slogan “I’m not stupid” in it’s commercial in Austria (probably also in Germany). Trying to say something like “I’m not stupid to buy somewhere else, I go directly to mediamarkt”
Well reality is a bit different then commercials. Mediamarkt offers (as seen some minutes ago) the “DeLonghi EN180 Nespresso Le Cube” for 199 Euro. A short search (took me about 20 seconds) showed me the same espresso machine for 165 Euro. Yeah mediamarkt, you are right, I’m not stupid … that’s why I don’t buy from mediamarkt.

I love public transport in Vienna
People who know me know that I really hate going with public transport in Vienna. Why?
By car I need about 25 min. to work, with the great public transport I need over an hour, up to one and a half hours to get from home to work and the same way back again. Thats a difference of about one hour, and now multiply this with 9 years that I work at SGI, I would have wasted a whole lot of my life in public transports. The next thing I hate is when in summer some people thing there is no need to take a shower as log as not everybody from the tram will trough up their guts.
I would really use the public transport if there would be a fast way to get at work. I would agree with 30 mins, but over an hour compared to 25 mins by car is really a bad argument for the public transport.
Oh and why did all of this happen? Two cars and still I have to go by public transport.
Well on the Passat the Air Condition is gone so I brought the car to fix that problem and the golf has no valid verification (you have to do this once a year in Austria for older cars) I could bring the car to get my sticker that it passed the verification, but then I would have to do it again in september so I will just wait a bit and then have that also done.

Procurorii nu l-au gasit acasa pe Dumnezeu.ro
Victor Ciutacu » vorbe grele » Procurorii nu l-au gasit acasa pe Dumnezeu.ro
Pavel Mircea, condamnat la 20 de ani de puscãrie pentru omor, l-a chemat în 2005 în instantã pe Dumnezeu deoarece, contrar ‘contractului’ fãcut la Botez, prin care Divinitatea trebuia sã-l apere de toate cele rele, Dumnezeu nu s-a tinut de cuvânt si l-a lãsat pradã în calea Satanei, care l-a împins la omor.
