Not Using Paperless Billing? T-Mobile Will Charge You $1.50
I've already told you how I've tried to move all of my bill-paying online because it's not only easier, but the greener option as well. How would you feel if a company started charging you for not paying a bill online?

Do You Pay All Your Bills Online?
It must be tax season, because I'm in a money mood; combine that with the recession, and it's one of the main things on my mind lately.
One thing I've tried to do is streamline the way I manage my money, and I accomplish that with technology; in addition to some great websites and services for managing money, I've tried to move all of my bill-paying online. If the place I need to pay has an online service to pay my bill, I use that, and if they don't, I simply set it up with my bank.
Over Half of Internet Users Pay Some Bills Online — Do You?
I love being able to do my banking online, in the comfort of my home and mainly away from long line-ups at the bank. Unless I absolutely have to, you're rarely ever going to see me stepping into a bank.
A new study shows that 51 percent of Internet users in Canada and the US are now paying at least one monthly bill online.
Website of the Day: Watch My Cell
Since most of you are paying hefty cell phone bills each month, I thought I'd post this website which offers a useful app that will prevent you from going over your total amount of free monthly minutes. Watch My Cell periodically checks your cell phone account (every three hours) and sends you a text message or email alert when you're close to going over, so you don't have to learn the hard way with an outrageous bill. Once downloaded, you will need to configure this free application with your cell phone provider, how many minutes you get for free, and when you want to receive a notification.

Would You Pay $35k For a Tour of Bill Gates's Home?
As part of Microsoft's charitable giving campaign, founder Bill Gates is again auctioning off a tour of his Medina, WA, home. Last year the tour sold for $8,600, but this year the bidding has already reached $35,000.

AT&T Puts A Halt To 300-Page Phone Bills
This week everyone's been talking about the woman (it was actually lifecaster Justine!), who received a 300-page iPhone bill from AT&T in a box. The enormous bill was due in part to the fact that AT&T had a policy of recording every single text message, data transaction, and every phone call their customer's make and printing each on a separate line of their bill. For people using the iPhone's many applications, that means a book-sized report if you don't opt for web billing.
Vintage Geeks: Young Steve vs. Young Bill
Get a load of these vintage magazine covers of a young Bill Gates (LOLZ-worthy title: "Computer Software: The Magic Inside the Machine") and an equally young Steve Jobs (LOLZ-worthy title: "The Fall of Steve Jobs")!
Although the stylistic choices vary for both (Steve has a passion for fashion, whereas inside Bill beats the heart of a bang stylist), I have a soft spot for both, especially in their more youthful and arguably handsomer days. Seeing them like this reminds me of the idealistic young whippersnappers they must have been and how exciting things were at that time.
Saying Goodbye to Bill Gates: A Legacy of Innovation and Bad Hairstyles
To fete Bill Gates stepping down from Microsoft, I thought I'd give him a little send-off, celebrating not his technological accomplishments, like every other tech site is doing, but by looking at the one thing that we as a public have judged Bill Gates on for years. Yes, I'm referring to his bangs. Join me, friends, on a journey, a hirsute journey of wacky hairdos worn by the Grand Poo-bah of the PC, Bill Gates.
