- [Starting a Bank — Matt Mullenweg](http://ma.tt/2009/08/starting-a-bank/)
    
    say what you will about the (acknowledged) naivete of this, but seriously – do you know anyone who loves their bank? interesting that i thought of USAA when reading this and Matt mentions that's the closest example he could think of.

- [Andy Kessler: Why AT&T Killed Google Voice – WSJ.com](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204683204574358552882901262.html?mod=rss_opinion_main#)
    
    "How could AT&T not object? AT&T clings to the old business of charging for voice calls in minutes. It takes not much more than 10 kilobits per second of data to handle voice. In a world of megabit per-second connections, that's nothing—hence Google's proposal to offer voice calls for no cost and heap on features galore." – voice is only 10 kilobits? i hadn't known that.
