Lacking anything interesting to blog, let me just extend my criticism of Hotlink's SMS Super Savers.
The question that begs to be answered is, "Who sends 400 SMSes in a day?" More specifically, between 1am - 7pm (the only time it is active). In fact, I think most people never send messages while they are asleep from 1am to whatever time they wake up.
Take the average case of someone who wakes up at 7am (me!). That means I have 12 hours to send 400 SMS. A quick calculation* reveals that I need to send 33.33 SMSes every hour, or basically once every 2 minutes. Can YOU type a full SMS every two minutes, for 12 hours non-stop?
Even if I were to stay up from 1am and SMS non-stop, that would require me to send 22.22 SMSes every hour.
So the question is, who would benefit from this? I'll tell you who - SPAMMERS! By unfallible logic, we can deduce that Hotlink supports spammers as they are the only ones who can actually send out that many SMSes per day.
Shame on you, Hotlink.
* On a sad note, I now use Windows Calculator even for the most rudimentary of divisions.
