Pandora builds playlists around your music preferences (yes, they profile you!). They call these playlists “stations”.
After a while, your stations play a variety of music that you actually like, and almost nothing that you hate.
I won a netbook with a built in aircard. It’s pretty sweet as I can take internet anywhere. However, as I already pay for an unlimited data plan on my Motorola Droid, I did not care to pay another service fee to have internet on the netbook.
So the solution was easily the coolest thing I’ve seen and done in a long time.
With the help from some google searches, I was able to obtain root access to my Droid. Tweaking it up a bit, my cellphone is now a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. So now, I get broadband speeds wireless on my laptop. No additional fees! Literally saved me $60 a month.
I was able to turn a Sprint cell phone into a modem once. I had to call Sprint with a fake tech problem and get the master unlock code for the phone. once I changed some settings on the phone I could tether it to my laptop.
