Last week I brought you the news of Time Warner’s outrageous price gouging with metered bandwidth. Well it seems that there has been a bit of an update to the situation. No, they haven’t backed down, but rather given us some details on precisely how they are planning to screw their customers out of money.

Apparently the COO over at Time Warner has been listening to the outcry from the vast internet community, and decided to respond to our concerns. First, they know that some users out there spend only a few measly minutes a day checking their email, so there is now a plan for such people. They’ve also decided that they will be kindly putting a cap on overage charges. If you’re really worried about that bill at the end of the month, rest easy that you won’t see more than $75 in overage fees. Hit the jump for the full breakdown from COO Landel Hobbs.

• To accommodate lighter Internet users and those who need a lower priced option, we are introducing a 1 GB per month tier offering speeds of 768 KB/128 KB for $15 per month. Overage charges will be $2 per GB per month. Our usage data show that about 30% of our customers use less than 1 GB per month.

• We are increasing the bandwidth tier sizes included in all existing packages in the trial markets to 10, 20, 40 and 60 GB for Road Runner Lite, Basic, Standard and Turbo packages, respectively. Package prices will remain the same. Overage charges will be $1 per GB per month.

• We will introduce a 100 GB Road Runner Turbo package for $75 per month (offering speeds of 10 MB/1 MB). Overage charges will be $1 per GB per month.

• Overage charges will be capped at $75 per month. That means that for $150 per month customers could have virtually unlimited usage at Turbo speeds.

• Once we implement this trial, we will not immediately start billing customers for overage. Rather, we will first provide two months of usage data. Then we will provide a one-month grace period in which overages will be noted on customers’ bills, but they will not be charged. So, customers will have an opportunity to assess their usage and right-size their service packages before usage charges are applied.

So for $15 (the same price as AT&T’s cheapest unlimited DSL plan) you can download up to 1GB of data at really crappy speeds. Awesome. You’ll also have a high-end 10MB down/1MB up plan for $75 and an overage cap of $75. Seems to me like that’s slower than my Comcast connection, and I get 250GB of bandwidth. Lets see, $35 a month with Comcast, or $150 with Time Warner? I think I speak for almost everyone when I say you can take your metered bandwidth and shove it.

I love the results that talented photographers manage to get from cameras like Lomos and Holgas, and while I’d like to give it a go myself, I just can’t bring myself to spend money on film or developing ever again. But the keychain-friendly VistaQuest VQ 1005 from Superheadz promises Holga-like effects with the convenience of a basic 1.3 megapixel digital camera.

On-board there’s just 4MB of built-in memory, but surprisingly, even though it has a compact design, they’ve still included a built-in SD card slot which means you’ll probably be able to snap thousands of photos with a decent-sized card. I also managed to find a thread about the VQ 1005 on the Camera Hacker forums that included a couple of sample shots that don’t actually look too bad.

Adjusting the focus is apparently a bit of a pain, since you’ll need to open up the camera and screw or unscrew the lens to get what you’re after, but with some trial and error it seems a few users have been quite happy with the results. And while AudioCubes is currently selling it for $89.99, users on the Camera Hacker forum are reporting that they’ve found them at Wal-Mart for about $20.

What’s the world coming too, really? Not only did we see the first official presidential portrait shot with a DSLR this year, but we’re also seeing the first feature film to be entirely shot on one as well. Searching For Sonny has grabbed the rights to that latter claim, a little ditty written and directed by one Andrew Disney. As expected, we have Canon’s almighty EOS 5D Mark II to thank, though Nikon fanboys will surely love that their lenses were used. Head past the break for a sneak peek, and hit up the read link on April 15th for the full trailer. Indie filmmakers, this is the break you’ve been waiting for — don’t screw it up.

Carriers and Palm have been absolutely silent on the matter, but let’s be honest: there’s very likely been one of the most heated, no-holds-barred wars over the past few months to score European exclusivity on the Pre since the Storm and the iPhone — and with launches broadly expected by mid-year, time is running out to secure a deal. Spanish media is reporting that Telefonica has now locked up that deal, not just for Spain and the UK (where it operates as O2) but for Latin America as well under the Movistar brand. If true, that’d be a nice, big “screw you” to archrival Vodafone, which has the mighty Storm / Magic two-pack under its belt. Even more interesting, though, is the fact that most of Latin America operates 3G on the 850 and 1900MHz bands — the very same used in the US and Canada — which means that our assumptions that the Pre would be 2100-only may have been wrong all along. Awesomely wrong. We wouldn’t get our hopes up that the Pre will be a walk in the park to unlock and use on AT&T or Rogers just yet, but it’s a glimmer of hope that we’ll gladly take.
