All Recent Tags I Know, I know, big screen TV's are all the rage and just about everybody wants one. I want one myself, but I'll be a fat man if I let a store, like one of these huge chains is doing, buy me one. Just what am I talking about, you ask? I'm talking about one of these national chain electronics stores...

An elderly woman in Ohio has been pretty much beaten to a pulp by AT&T (not physically, of course, but it almost might well have been). Here's the story:
Mandatory phone rentals went out in the 80's when the big phone company breakup went down, right?. There is this woman in Ohio, who had two of...

It was just a rumor. I said it was just a rumor. I reported it as a rumor. I had heard a few months ago that a rumor had surfaced about the pricing for Windows Vista. I had heard that the Home Premiun version (the version I would most likely buy, if I was going to buy Vista at all) was going to...

Well, well, well. Just as I got done ratting out the mobile phone companies for various beat-downs, guess what I found out? Well, actually, I found out two things: one, I found out that I should be glad I don't have a monthly mobile phone service plan. I wouldn't even consider it. I have long...

Microsoft's patch-the-patch policy and practice has just rubbed a hole in their own breeches that they need to patch!
