Do I have this new ATT upgrade policy right?

From what I just read on their site today, IF you qualify for an upgrade this July, August, or September, you can get the iPhone 3G S now for the $199/$299 pricing, but otherwise the cost is $399/$499 plus a 2 year contract extension AND an $18 upgrade fee (LOL?!?), only IF you have spent enough monthly ($99+) on your ATT bill for them to consider offering you the $399/$499 upgrade price. . OR you can choose to buy the phone at full price w/o no contract extension for $599+. According to my ATT Wireless account info, I do not qualify for upgrade until June 25, 2010!
Wow.

This is an email I received from Apple today:
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
On June 17, AT&T announced a change to their upgrade eligibility policy
and ‘best upgrade pricing’ for qualifying iPhone 3G owners.
Based on AT&T’s updated qualification criteria, we are pleased to inform
you that you are eligible to receive a refund on your recent
iPhone 3G S purchase.
Your Order Acknowledgment and Shipment Notification emails will reflect
the original purchase price. However, Apple will issue you a refund in
the amount of $200.00, which is the difference between your original
purchase price and the new qualifying price.
Apple will process your refund in the next 5 days, and will send you an
email when this has been completed. We will process your refund based
on your original payment method. See below for details.
No additional action is needed on your part for you to receive the

See p. 10-11 of the User Guide.

Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
WORKAROUNDS
That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

With Firefox 11 I have a new item on the right click menu called Volcano. Does this mean I have been hacked or this a feature I can't find and info on?

With Firefox 11 it looks like I have been hacked but I can't tell for sure. With a right click in the browser menu there is a Volcano option at the top. I can't find and help information of this menu option. I don't dare click on it.
Is this something new that was added?

No feature I have heard of?

What on earth is this new $30 upgrade fee?

Talk about being nickel and dimed to death! They get us to sign up for 2 more years in exchange for the lower price on the phones. How on earth can they justify charging $30 for the "privilege"? Shameful!

You are free to do as you wish. You asked a question. I answered.
I am a smart shopper and that is why I won't buy a used device from some random stranger on ebay. I will buy it from VZW or Best Buy where I know I will get a warranty against defects. You won't get a newer iPhone or Galaxy device for less than the price of a brand new subsidized once INCLUDING the $30 upgrade fee.

VZW had had Technicians in their stores prior to September of 2012. These employees provided 15 minute 1 on 1 sessions to learn the basics of your new phone. VZW started their workshops around August of 2012, 4 months after the upgrade fee was introduced. These workshops are attended by large numbers of groups.
I also said that VZW is a for-profit organization but so is AT&T and Sprint and T-Mobile. They will all do what they need to to make money. Looks like VZW has found a way to maximize the services they provide to us while paying little out of pocket to do so while still charging us a fair price to obtain those service. That's what making a profit is.
Sprint's customers are saying the same things you are:
Sprint Community: Device Upgrade Fee
Oh, look at that...so are AT&T's customers
Charged for UPGRADE? - AT&T Community Support
So where did you get the information that not every carrier is charging it. Only T-Mobile doesn't charge the upgrade fee and that is because they don't do contracts. They force you to buy the phone at full retail but they charge you a fee for being on the Jump program of $10 a month. http://www.t-mobile.com/phone-upgrade.html
This does include insurance of $8 (they're forcing you to take it). That means $2 a month goes to be on their no contract. That's $36 per year. More than the $30 VZW want you to pay to take their 2 year contract or $15 a year.
So I would say no, you haven't educated yourself and are obviously not aware that there are fees for almost everything. Oh wait. Except VZW Edge. No fee for program like T-Mobile and, like I said, you may qualify for incentives with VZW for being an Edge customer.

I got a new macbook air and took my old macs back up and put it on the new macs desktop. How do I put my old files and apps to have this new computer look like my old one?

Help! Please! Thanks so much!!!!!

Well, I don't know how you made the backup nor how you restored the backup. However, you don't put an entire backup on to the Desktop.
I suggest you do the following:
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click ont the lock icon and authenticate with the admin password you are currently using. Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account named "temp" (no quotes) and give the account admin status. Assign any password you want (but assign a password.)
Log out of the account you are using and log into the new, temp, account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon. Authenticate with the password you used for "temp." Select the other user account (not the one named Guest) and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third removal option and click on the OK button.
Connect your backup drive. Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. Select the option to migrate from another Mac or connected hard drive or select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup if TM was used to back up your old computer. Restore your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences per instructions in Migration Assistant.
After the migration has completed (will take several hours) log out of "temp" and log into your newly migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate with your normal account's password. Select the "temp" account, click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third option and click on the OK button.
You should now have just one user account. The one migrated from your old computer.

Don't have "Open New Tab" when I right click an open tab after Firefox 18 upgrade

I used to be able to right click an open tab and one of the drop down options was to open a new tab. Where did it go?

You can also use this extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-4-ui-fixer/?src=search UI Fixer] that adds back that option,amongst other ones,or this other extension that does just that [https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/new-tab-in-tab-context-menu/ New Tab in Tab Context Menu] .

Upgrade Policy Change Catch 22

Simplified pricing; ya you are doing this to help me out. Typical Verizon nonsense with some not so cleaver scam wording. No one actually believes you are making this policy change to simplify anything, it's targeted to hurt customers and make more money. I said it years ago when the CDMA iPhone rumor started it would be nothing but trouble for those of us who don't want that Apple garbage. Now its here, soccer moms, over privileged high school kids, and stupid hipsters rejoice while the rest of us suffer. I have taken a bunch of bandwidth tests and saved screenshots on my Droid X just so I can get a lawyer and sue your company when my service degrades due to this nonsense. Your network nodes in the CT/NY area already have problems handling the current load, never mind all the rats coming over from the AT&T ship. They should just stay there as the quality of iOS matches the quality of AT&T's service.
This rant however is not about the garbage iPhone. If people are smart they will wait till June when Apple releases the iPhone 5 4g LTE, but again I would not call iPhone users smart so I am sure Verizon will make a killing off of people buying year old technology at new technology prices. I only mention the iPhone because its the reason I have lost my early upgrade option.
My problem with this change is that those of us who are grandfathered in for one last early upgrade now get to face a catch 22. Per the terms of the early upgrade I have to sign another two year contract, something that has not bothered me for the past 10 years I have been with Verizon because they have always let me upgrade a year later, even with a two year agreement. It is NO LONGER worth signing a two year agreement with Verizon. Who keeps a smartphone for more then a year?
From a financial standpoint, paying the extra $70 up front when I buy a new phone so that I am on a one year contract and thus can upgrade every 10 months for a discounted price makes far more sense. The problem is that I can not go to a one year contract and take my last early upgrade. Again, the terms of the early upgrade state I need to sign a two year agreement.
What this means is I have to wait another year and a half for the full 24 months to run out before I can get a phone at an upgrade price, or upgrade in six months with my last early upgrade but then be stuck with that phone for 20 months unless I want to pay $600 for a new device.
For those who say Verizon is loosing money with people early upgrading your delusional. Below is one source and one example, but there are many more out there just use google.
http://gizmodo.com/229664/iphone-only-costs-250-to-make-rest-of-price-is-fanboy-tax
I have seen new numbers that state the iPhone 4 actually costs around $200 to make, because while technology has gotten better, its also gotten cheaper since the original iPhone release. Even if you include R&D costs, they are still making a killing on full retail price phones. There is no reason to assume that all the smartphones they sell have a similar markup.
Furthermore, don't forget the money they are making on service, those hidden fees they throw in on your bill, and ALL THE BLOATWARE. That's right, they are making money off of the spam they force on your phone like Amazon MP3, NFL, Blockbuster, Skype, etc. When does it end? Whats even worse is that If I pay full price for my phone I still have their bloatware installed, which can't be removed. So they are double dipping by making money off of bloatware and then charging me full price for a phone. YOU CHARGE ME FULL PRICE FOR A PHONE AND STILL ADD BLOATWARE I CAN'T REMOVE THAT YOU MAKE MONEY ON BY PUTTING ON MY PHONE! Why should you make a dime off of the device if I am the one paying full retail? You should not make money on bloatware if I pay full retail price.
I should not have to get stuck in a two year contract again to use my last early upgrade. You have made changes to your policy that now prevents me form upgrading every year like I have always had available in the past. You are saying you grandfathered me in for one last upgrade but that upgrade forces me into this new total nonsense policy.

@dunkinh
"Since you're so much smarter than us iPhone users, I'm sure you make enough money to buy phones at retail. Then you can upgrade whenever the heck you want. "
Oh you can count on that; but I work for it unlike most of the iPhone hipsters that get it from their parents. Notice most of the threads on this forum asking about upgrades are kids? I am fairly sure if you crack that sucker open it says Fisher Price somewhere on the inside, which is why the iPhone is sealed.
@Grothka
Is says your device is a HTC Droid Eris. I don't know its current state, but that phone scores ~65 points higher on quadrent benchmarks after the bloatware is removed. That may not seem like much but considering the phone get a dismal score of ~210 stock, the jump you get in 65 points really means a boost in performance by around 30%. That performance increase you get by removing the bloatware is more noticeable on older droids that have less RAM and slower processors. Apps like CityID and Verizon Backup are always running whether you use them or not, which sucks phone resources. Bloatware does make a difference, unless you have rooted and removed it you have no idea how much it DOES effect your phone.
Nothing in your reply explains why VZW gets to make money off of bloatware [which they undeniably do] when you buy your phone full retail price. It has been said they have pre installed applications [bloatware] installed to subsidize the cost they have to pay when they give you a discounted phone. First that's a crock, they never loose money on a phone, even discounted but I will admit they are not making as much as full price. Bloatware is extra revenue, not income needed to offset their discounted phone price. Again, if you buy a phone at full price then why would they need to offset anything with bloatware as there is no loss in a phone discount. My point is they are going to make money off of bloatware regardless of what price the phone sells at, that's why its on there in the first place. It has nothing to do with keeping phone costs down, that's another Verizon LIE.
"They have no reason to allow you to get a 1 year contract on the EU as you have been made aware of all the changes that have been made."
Have you gotten a call, text, or letter from Verizon? I still have not been made aware of this officially. No one I know has. There is no post on the VZW website, no information, etc. They tried to SNEAK this by customers and keep it hush hush. They still are for that matter and probably will never make an official announcement. The only way we know is some VZW employee leaked information on the net.
As for what "we" have been told, nothing is official. Honestly, do you really trust these reps? In my 10 years with Verizon I have been told so much wrong information I no longer listen to a word they say. These forums are PROOF. How many posts with misinformation regarding the iPhone upgrade have you seen? That's ONE example. I have 10 years worth of them.
The simple fact is that it effects EVERY two year contract holder. Does that seem like a minority? The MAJORITY of people hold two year contracts with Verizon. That means they do one of two things, upgrade every two years and get $50 off with the every two or upgrade after 13 months and get discounted pricing. If you are a two year contract holder it was one of those two no matter what they say. Therefore, I state again this effected every two year contract holder whether they realize it or not. How is that a minority? When your kid falls down and skins their knee you don't freak out, tell them its all right, and send them back to play. If you don't do that they cry like hell. Is it really alright? No they are bleeding and injured. The point is that Verizon is doing the same thing "Oh its alright, this is not a bad thing, its simplified pricing, it only effects a minority and not you." They can shove it up their ... it effects every two year contract holder.
Per terms and agreement, if you did not take an early upgrade you got an every two discount; one way or the other you got something. With that gone how does that only effect a minority? Its just more Verizon **bleep** word games.
@Wsuraider09
Oh I have NO plans on switching; everything you said is totally true. I never said it wasn't. What I am going to do is be a thorn in their side letting everyone know they are screwing customers. If enough people complain, things will change. We would not be dealing with this if that stupid kids toy of an iPhone was not being released on VZW.
BTW as for a lawsuit due to network overload: http://tinyurl.com/5wloat7
We have several legs to stand on, not just one. Don't even start with me about legal issues. When I see a slowdown in my service this Feb 12th, they are going to get sued. Have you have been around long enough to member the Motorola V710 lawsuit? Remember that outcome? I think we did alright. My name is somewhere in that legal document.
They want to play games, we can play games back. I am not like this till some tries to tell me "its no big deal" and then screw me out of money. I am not rich, I work 60+ hour work weeks on an ambulance being exposed to all sorts of garbage to be able to live comfortable. These over privileged executives that have a laissez-faire "let them eat cake" attitude can go sit on fence and spin.

Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
