The War of The Carriers
For those of you who haven't noticed the endless amount of advertisements that the four major carriers Sprint, At&t, Verizon, and T- Mobile have put forth to the general public. The ads all try to depict how they are the company has best cellular service option. I cant help but notice how this is forcing cellular companies to change in a radical way. This is incredible for customers there has never been a time where they have gotten so much for most times just simply being a customer. These freebies include international long distance, international text, and cloud storage space. This continuous need to change ultimately all began when T-mobile announced they no longer were going to offer service contracts a move that took the cellular service industry by storm. A benefit of T-mobile decisions they could list the price of just service in their advertising which most of the general public assume that they had lower prices which in a way they did. T-mobile because of its genius marketing move started gaining customers rapidly. The other companies were caught off guard by T-mobile’s actions and started to scramble. The scramble led to the companies changing the way their plans were structured especially Verizon and At&t. They no longer offered plans revolving around talk time and started to offer plans around data. Wait, one might ask the question with the wide spread popularity of smartphones since the iPhone 4S (widespread meaning a majority of people had smartphones) shouldn't have the data became the most important part of the cellular plans a long time ago. Well up until a year ago that wasn't the case for the cellular companies. However the elimination of contracts wasn't the move T-mobile made the greatest impact on the industry, It was the introduction of the buy-out program. The buyout program was t-mobile's guarantee that if you switch to them that they would pay off your earlier termination fee. This gave customers the ability to leave their current carrier whenever they chose and thus other cellular companies now really had to worry about losing their customers. Soon after the other companies choose to implement some type of reward incentive to switch to their company. Then on the companies started doing the only other thing they could do which was price cut. Several price cuts have actually been preformed by all the companies. In the end as the current state of the cellular world is great for customers but seemingly not for the companies.

Samsung’s New Super Model Phone ( The Galaxy Alpha )
Samsung recently announced that it will release the Galaxy Alpha. The announcement also included marketing for the phone. The commercial for the phone in particular pretty much sums up where Samsung is going with this phone, Samsung wants this phone to be it’s sexier more visually appealing phone in its line up. Looking at the phone the first thing you will notice is that the phone is metal rather than the usual plastic of the other samsung phones. The images of the phone that have been released show an actually beautiful phone. The size of the phone which is a 4.7-inch AMOLED display is a different from the direction that Samsung was heading with its phone which was bigger is better. The decision to make this phone smaller was a good idea in my opinion . There is a large sector of people that prefer smaller phones and this sector of people is largely dominated by Apple . I know there are smaller Samsung phones but there simply put dumb down versions of Samsung’s flagship phones with a mini tag put in after the name (Galaxy 4 Mini) .With the Galaxy Alpha Samsung can now truly compete in this sector. As mentioned the external aspects of this phone are pretty nice but how is the internal aspects. Well the Galaxy Alpha does okay in that department. The phone features a display at 720p HD, a 12-megapixel camera , a 1,860 mAh battery, and an Octa Core processor. Also one unexpected detail about this phone is that it does not include an MicroSD slot but only the 32GB of internal storage. I personally hope that this is not something that Samsung is planning to do with its other phones. All in all I am excited to see this new addition to Samsung’s ever expanding phone line up.

A poem that captured a movie
One of my favorite poems from one of my favorite movies. This movie captured the reality of falling for someone so deeply that that it feels like that person took residence in your heart and mind . At the end when this poem was read it utterly captured what the movie was about. I won't ever get tired of watching Eric Schaeffer' s Fall and listening to the poem that solidified the message of the movie.
Eric Schaeffer- Fall (1997)
" I wanted so badly to tell you that I loved you. The words, each time, graced my lips like an impostor, only to fall away like some great blizzard that was taken out to sea to rain it's fury on the dark ocean, alone, unbeknownsnt to any hearing... And whether that day is tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or next lifetime...I will finally get to tell you to your sweet face. The face I will miss more than I could ever tell, that...I love You. And you'll smile wryly, close your eyes, say 'catch me baby,'...and fall."

Fx (The best network today)
Archer, The Bridge, The Americans, Fargo, Justified, Louie, American Horror Story, Tyrant, and Sons of Anarchy all shows on one of the best networks today, Fx. Fx has become the show hit maker of television today. Part of the success of the network is that the network takes chances with styles of shows like no one else. Louie for example is not a type of show seen in other networks. Honestly it is not a show for everyone. I personally love the show but to some people I have suggested the show to have had opposite feelings towards the show . I imagine this being the case for the american population were some very much love the show while others sit on the opposite end of the spectrum . American horror stories being another example of the networks ability to take chances. The show has a different story line every season that is a crazy concept. If someone were to tell me years ago that this would be a successful concept for a show I would immediately tell them that no network would go for it merely for the risk factor of losing viewers who do not like the current season's story line. Aside from taking risk the network continues to hit homeruns. This year already the network has brought us Fargo a dark yet comical show that had us yearning for more at the end of each episode and Tyrant a show that depicts a perspective like no other. I personally can't wait to see what FX bring us next.
