AT&T silently offers an option allowing iPhone users to remove EDGE data plan option that would save them $20/month. Just go to your AT&T myAccount page and click "Add/Manage Features".

This will additionally remove text messaging, you should add a text messaging plan if you don't want to pay by the message. You will no longer have access to Visual Voicemail if data is removed. You'll have to call for voicemail just like any other phone.

When Jeneane Sessum logged into her Gmail account on the afternoon of Oct. 27, she was greeted with a horrifying sight: an empty inbox.

A Gmail user since 2004, Sessum, a social media consultant and writer in Atlanta, had thousands of messages there, enough to use up almost 30 percent of her allotted storage space.

Because Gmail is her primary work and personal e-mail service, Sessum lost many important messages, including some she needed at that moment for a project.

Lost drivers in U.S. soon will be able to find Google Map in Gas station across the country beginning early next month.

The pumps, made by Gilbarco Veeder-Root, include an Internet connection and will display Google's mapping service in color on a small screen.

Motorists will be able to scroll through several categories to find local landmarks, hotels, restaurants and hospitals selected by the gas station's owner. After the driver selects a destination, the pump will print out directions.
