      Tires Prices Increasing Soon, At Least For Cooper

      Are you planning on buying tires soon? According to this report from TireBusiness.com, Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. is planning on raising its prices for passenger and light truck tires by "up to 12 percent," in response to an increase on tarrifs from China. They wouldn't provide a hard date for the price increase, but said "soon."

      The increases vary by line, the company said, with most but not all product lines affected.

      AT&T Isn't Going To Reduce iPhone Data Plans

      For a while now, there have been rumors and speculation that AT&T was considering reducing its data plan by $10 per month in an attempt to be more competitive with other carriers. Today AT&T officially put the kibosh on that scuttlebutt, which is how I write once the cocktail hour kicks in on Friday. Says an AT&T spokesman, "We've been very happy with our pricing."

      Think The iPhone 3G S Costs Too Much? Don't Buy It

      Apple fans around the country are foaming at the mouths over the jacked-up pricing AT&T has announced for the upgraded iPhone. AT&T apparently can't afford to subsidize the phones for existing customers, because if you currently have an iPhone and more than 6 months left on your contract, you'll have to pay $417-$517 for the newer model (that includes an $18 "upgrade" fee).
