I think that there are lots of people out there on AT&T feeling that way about now. The first hint was the recent change in data pricing for the iPhone and iPad, right?

One AT&T customer has really come face to face with the reality that AT&T’s CEO really hates his opinions. Hates his opinions enough in fact to threaten the customer with legal action for emailing him. I blame Steve Jobs for this one. If Jobs didn’t answer his own emails, geeks around the world wouldn’t think a CEO should actually have a rapport with the people who pay for their massive golden parachutes.

A guy named Giorgio G. emailed AT&T CEO Tooly McTool, I mean Randall Stephenson. The subject of the email the first time around was to ask for a change in the guy’s iPhone upgrade status and the second email landed him a call from an executive response staffer telling him to stop emailing the CEO. Brilliant. The customer is always right, right?

Feel free to drop Randall your own email here.

Developed by California’s TrackingTheWorld, the gadget is slipped inside of a letter, and tracks the precise journey of an individual piece of mail.

The LetterLogger is small enough to be concealed inside of a standard #10 business envelope, yet contains sophisticated GPS and motion-sensing technology which can record every movement along the letter’s travels. Not only can it record the precise position and timing of each location, but its motion sensors can detect the amount of time when the letter is sitting still, which could help ferret out wasted time during the delivery process.

They should slap one of these directly on every mail carrier too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some delays at the neighborhood bar, donut shop and strip club.
