Wesley Snipes gets sentenced to 3 years

Friday, April 25th, 2008

This is a bunch of crap seriously.? Sure, he definitely needs to make good on the amount he owes, PLUS fines.? But sentencing him to 3 years in jail that they taxpayers have to pay for is ridiculous.? ? I know it will be appealed and at ...

EBay sues Craigslist

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

For whatever reason, EBay is suing Craigslist.? What is more surprising to me is that EBay owns roughly 28% of Craigslist.? I suppose it is smart for EBay since they are probably losing money because since they keep raising their fees, it is more lucrative for sellers to ...

Vista upgrade version to require OS installed

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Unlike previous versions of Windows upgrade versions, Vista will require an OS to already be installed on the hard drive.? You can pretty much kiss your clean install goodbye unless you spring for the full version.? I don't know which angle they are going for, either anti-piracy or ...

Credit Card Information Sent Over AOL Instant Messenger (w/pic of receipt!)

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

Don't let this happen to you!? Be care what bozo's you give your credit card to :) I thought he was entering data on a Point-Of-Sale machine. Imagine my surprise when he showed me that my name, street, city, state, zip, credit card number and expiration date had just ...

Robots with machine guns…

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Samsung developed a machine guy sentry that will be deployed in the DMZ between North and South Korea. Take a look at the video, it's pretty interesting! The robot also has a speaker to warn the intruder to surrender or get a perfect headshot.

This definitely falls in the “what the ?” category.

Net Neutrality and you

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

I found this article to be a pretty good read about net neutrality. It explains what's going on in pretty simple terms. I just hope that the big companies (Google, Yahoo, eBay etc.) against it prevail... If phone companies could wave a magic wand they'd have the whole kit ...

Ever been put on hold with Comcast?

Looks like even their own employees get to wait too! Although make them wait too long, they may fall asleep on your couch! [gv data="CvVp7b5gzqU"][/gv]Сувенири

Warning drug users?

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

Huh?? Why are we warning heroin users that there is shipments of heroin tainted with fentanyl? Here's an idea, let them find out themselves! It's already illegal to do heroin so people shouldn't need to be warned. If they are going to do it, they know ...

Not only is gambling illegal in Washington State…

Friday, June 16th, 2006

But apparently you can't even promote it now. According to this article on NWsource.com a Bellingham man got a cease and desist letter from the state for his site http://integritycasinoguide.com. I think the new law prohibiting online gambling is absolutely ridiculous in the first place, and I'm quite ...
