Superbe sortie ce dimanche après les chutes de neige de la fin de semaine. Nous sommes monté à “La Para”, officiellement “La Tornette” qui se situe dans les Alpes Vaudoises. Une jolie course variée et techniquement facile de 1350m de dénivellation et qui nous emmène à 2540m d’altitude. La vue depuis le sommet est superbe et, avec le temps qu’il faisait, il était difficile de ne pas s’arrêter tous les 100m pour prendre des photos…


Depuis le sommet, Le Taran et le village de Leysin en fond

This is a great piece of research on comparing the actual completely out of this world price of SMS messages. Even though the price base used on the article is taken from AT&T and more expensive to SMS prices we have around in Europe, the calculation shows how the mobile phone companies are screwing up their customers.

A little exemple :

Cost to transfer 2560 songs

From my ISP: $1
Via SMS messaging: $15,339,212.80

So, even though SMS prices in Europe are about 3 times cheaper than in the US… ;)
