It's the same with loans. First they'll get a hot receptionist to sign you up and then on any delay, send their recovery-agents to squeeze the money out of you.
Why bother?
Save money and then buy!

A Beautiful Thought That Can Put My Mind At Ease
On our last day our GTO told “If you are not recommended please understand that this is not your field”. (link)
Regarding my dream to serve in the Military as an Officer and after my three attempts at the prestigious SSB Interviews, when I discovered my love for computers.
Still, can get emotional at times when think about a career in Army, my first-hand experience with the lifestyle in Army Attachment NCC Camp, or when play lots of Company of Heroes.
Yeah, I know every guy is suited for some particular job, where he can excel easily, while may have to push in some other one, like trying to be a square peg in a round hole- that would be un-optimised, right?

100hitz.com- Good Enough To Do Away With The iPod (Review Of Internet Radio Station)
While trying the Internet Radio (bundled with FM Radio app) on my Nokia mobile, I tried 100hitz.com Hip-Hop and I love the service.
It features hit songs and most of them are very enjoyable, together with details of the singer and album. And you can always buy the songs you find extraordinary from their playlist. And the number of ads is also minimum.
Dear Reader, if you are into hip-hop and enjoy TV channels like Vh1, you must try this Internet radio station. Works on computers as well as mobiles.
It streams at 32kbps and the sound quality is fine.
Tell you what, coupled with local FM stations for Hindi and Punjabi songs (India) and a cheap GPRS/EDGE plan on mobile, I might not need to buy an iPod, really :)

Tagging Tweeps- No More Local Lists, Know Who’s Actually The Funniest or Geekiest or Conversationalist
I see too many separate lists, possibly all good, tagging funny, conversationalists, and even maals (babes) on Twitter. It’s all about fun, but this technique is like the local maxima we read about in Artificial Intelligence books.
In my humble opinion, the next level for Twitter could be to allow signed-in users to thumbs up the users they’ve followed for a certain amount of time (say a week, to add credibility to the votes) to thumbs-up certain characteristics.
There’s a reason why YouTube has shifted from star ratings to a simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down system
Similar to what is used on sites like StackOverflow.com- to ensure fun for all and prevent abuse, Twitter will create the tags and like horoscopes published in newspapers, everyone will be a winner here.
e.g. funny, conversationalists, tech, society, local, news, opinion, reviews etc
And, to empower the user, it’ll be opt-in i.e. the user will explicitly permit display and voting on his page. But, I think the user should not be allowed to select the tags. Let it be binary- on or off.
Finally, I don’t know how does Twitter make money now, but it would do no harm to further an already fascinating product. We should do this :)
