Facts about Data

Pig is a high level scripting language that is used with Apache Hadoop. Pig enables data workers to write complex data transformations without knowing Java. Pig's simple SQL-like scripting language is called Pig Latin, and appeals to developers already familiar with scripting languages and SQL.

By default, the iPhone sends text messages over your cellular network through a service called Short Messaging Service. While SMS messages don't count against your data plan, your carrier charges for each message sent and received if text messages aren't included in your plan.

Text messaging doesn't use "data" as defined by cell phone networks-- if you can make and receive calls, you can send text messages, even if you can't connect to the internet. To disable data on an iPhone, look in Settings under General --> Network. Turn off "Cellular Data".
