The next time Verizon or Sprint cripples some phone’s Bluetooth implementation or locks you into some crazy two-year contract, take a look at this rechargeable SIM card vending machine in Tsim Sha Shui, Hong Kong, and ask yourself why we aren’t using a system where switching carriers is as easy as putting $13 in to a machine and buying a new card. Then ask yourself why you aren’t drinking a foil box with a quenching fruit concoction. And then ask why your juice box doesn’t include some promotional mobile phone minutes *.
