After talking to eight Verizon employees, my simple question didn’t get answered. Although I explained to them my concern, all of them asked me the same question: “What is it that you trying to do?” All I need is to be able to view my latest charges online since my online account shows information from March. I was passed on like a cheap whore from FiOS department to Wireless department to landline office to One Bill department to Internet support to communication center to payment center to some center in Ohio, and then to some department in Virginia. The last representative couldn’t even find my information. Both my phone and my account don’t even exist in the system. She couldn’t pass me on to anyone anymore and didn’t know what to do with me. I finally told her that I guess I don’t have to pay anything since I am not in the system.

Adobe Scene7 seems like a great tool for turning PDF into an interactive format. I tried it out with the GW Business Magazine. Although it takes a bit of time, the process is very easy. The result looks nice, but I don’t like the interface at all. Adobe should allow us to scale the size of the magazine so we can display it at the size that is readable. Right now users can zoom in to read but it’s not intuitive at all.
