So before the holidays, I noticed over a few days that my cell phone battery was draining rather quickly. I checked it over, and discovered that I had accidentally forgotten to quit a buggy Smartphone data application that draws real-time Seattle bus maps -- and updates automatically every minute. It had been running for two days and racked up 16 MB of usage. Good thing I switched from an unlimited data plan to a 4 MB per month plan several months ago!
Grand total, it'll probably run me $140. Sigh. I'm trying to think up excuses to use to lower my bill, but I don't think "I was running beta software" will cut it. A few people pointed out that this is just karmic payback for the deal I got on the TV.
