Yes, and most plans tethering is an additional cost as well.

Not with VZW or AT&T at least.  It's free.  It's even based upon a court case:

Now if you have unlimited data from an old grandfathered account, then no you don't - but that's your choice to keep, or change.

Okay, Verizon I5 and she says she cannot find an app.

By any chance do you have a link on where to look?

There is no easy solution to get everyone able to play Xbox One without issues.

Also, if you haven't gone to majornelson.com and commented to win an Xbox One, you might want to consider it.  The contest is open for entries for a week - until the 21st.

I am not really a fan. I prefer the traditional thick cut stuff, pancetta or prosciutto.

Ugh. You guys are talking about the Canadian Bacon that isn't bacon and isn't Canadian aren't you? I never heard of Canadian Bacon until I joined 2old2play.  I think it was always called peameal ham or breakfast loaf here. In any case if you order bacon and eggs in Canada you will get real bacon slices of cured/smoked fat and meat that you are used to. If you want eggs and Canadian Bacon in Canada you need to order eggs and ham. Gah!

Apparently, as the history lessons go, Canadian bacon came about during the War, England was short on pork and a lot was imported from Canada. Some how the name Canadian and bacon got tied to Ham there.

At least that what I've heard. So for fucks sake, if you want bacon in Canada, order bacon. :)

Give disc to a buddy. He uses disk to install game. At this point, he has no license, his game will not run. He signs onto XBL. He is denied a license because the license linked to the disk has already been issued to your account. His game install will not run.

So he unregisters the game from you and registers it to him (or to Gamestop).

All of what you wrote is how it works, except this part. This is because you will be able to unregister a game without the other person's box being connected. Because of this, you need to connect that other box within 24 hours in order to retake that license from that installed game. MS can't force you to have your primary box turned on at all times. That is the reason for 24 hour check, to revoke or add licenses that may have happened elsewhere.

Your license may have been revoked on your account, but your box doesn't know that. Hence the connection.

Took three beers, but I think I got it.

Like you said, it’s the sharing component that complicates the system.  I loan a game to Uncle Billy, then he goes on an indefinite bender in Vegas.  I can unregister the game from my GT, but because Billy has claimed a license against my install, I don’t have clear title to sell the disc for reuse, which would tick me off.  And if I was permitted to sell the disc anyway so that it can get reissued, then Billy still has an activated version of the game, he can play Barbie’s Great Horse Adventure offline indefinitely.  That is when he’s not snorting tequila out of a prostitute’s naval.  So, force everyone who share’s to have a persistent connection and no part of the license is left out of the system.  And since everyone has the freedom to share, everyone’s online.

That makes sense to me.  So I’m probably still buzzed.

If you lend your Xbox 360 disc to Uncle Billy, and he moves across the country with it (happened to me many times), gets pretty hard to trade that one in too :)

English Fish and Chips, I mean really; I'll just stop and get plain old fish and chips at the greasy spoon. I'm not swimming to England.

New York Fries, no way! Too dangerous!

iPhone 5?  It's just in your settings.  Settings > Personal Hotspot > On.  You can set your password.

If it says you have to contact VZW, that means you're still on the old unlimited data plan and I don't think you can do it.

are you updated to iOS6 on the 4S?

edit: if you don't have iOS6, it's a little more buried:

Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot
