    USPS Launches Smartphones Recycling

    Broker than broke, because of matters outside their control. Blame congress for this. Anyway, this is business that would otherwise be lost to UPS or FedEx. Smart move on their part, I think. Cites if you're interested. From a USPS handout: "The Postal Service receives no tax...

    Stupid Google Street View Criminal of the Day

    Open or concealed carry, by any citizen, when carried in accordance with the law, is the exercise of one's 2nd amendment rights. When carrying openly, it is generally accepted knowledge that having the firearm holstered(and in some states that allow long gun open carry, slung) is the way to...

    White House Prepares to Convene Anti-Botnet Summit

    It's like a terrorist organization. If they ever actually achieved their stated goals, they would lose their reason to exist. So either they will subconsciously fail on purpose, or restate their goals each time they get close to completion.

    California Passes Facebook Password Bill

    Funny, had an interview with Maryland Dept of Corrections, and they asked flat out for it, in a tone that was less asking, and more demanding. In the heat of the moment, I gave it up, because I need the job. However upon returning home, I found out that it's not a legit question to ask...

    One In Five U.S. Adults Do Not Use the Internet

    I live in an area with such poverty, that the kids that my fiance teaches have to worry about saving enough of their school lunch, so that they can have dinner that night. They don't have internet. These kids don't have iPads either. I think you got scammed.

    Teacher’s Aide Fired For Not Handing Over Facebook Password

    Well, Since the incident, I've become a much more fervent libertarian/small gov't conservative. I used to be one of those people who thought "it's for the good of everyone!" Now I want them to get out, and stay out of my life. Also, if offered the job, even though it's loaded with cushy...

    Teacher’s Aide Fired For Not Handing Over Facebook Password

    I was asked for my FB log in information by a state employer. The way in which it was asked did not convey that it was an optional thing. More of a "You will give us your password, or you will not get the job". In today's job market, especially with federal/state/local jobs diminishing...

    Motorola Bionic...

    The concern is, that both of the apps I installed, one was a day or so after I got the phone, the other was on friday afternoon, about 5 days later. Why would the one installed most recently have the highest data count? o.O

    Motorola Bionic...

    Loving the phone, only one question that some of you may be able to help me figure out. I've got three data monitoring apps (trying to figure out which one i can trust) and i'm getting three different readouts. Onavo says I'm at 96.6 MB 3G Watchdog says I'm at 788.43 MB MyVerizon says...

    Need advice...

    Ended up scoring the Bionic for free. Considering that I've gone so long with a "dumb" phone, I think I can live with buying a "sub-uber" phone for now. With no job on the horizon, price really did matter, and I got double the data, as well. Creasty, I have no idea what the hell...

    Courts Approve Warrantless Cell Phone Searches

    The problem I have with that, especially with smartphones, is push notifications. If something pops up instantly on your phone when they turn it on to check the number that is incriminating (even if it's just a joke text from a friend)... Would that be considered "In plain view"? If it is...

    Half Of All Smart TVs Aren't Connected To The Net

    Have you tried one of these? (might not be long enough, don't know where your router's hiding) http://www.amazon.com/TRIPP-Gigabit-Right-Straight-N204-005-BL-DN/dp/B005WKIQOA/ref=pd_cp_e_2

    Half Of All Smart TVs Aren't Connected To The Net

    The gf & I were shopping for a HDTV this past holiday season. Ended up getting a 32" Sony Google TV. It integrates with the Dish receiver. It gives us Netflix. The picture quality is excellent, 1080P. Cost a whole $400 because no one was buying them (and they were on sale). We use the hell...

    Need advice...

    Samsung Alias 2 just croaked a week or so ago, and frankly, where I've moved to in rural VA, it simply wasn't cutting it. Inside the house, it would be constantly roaming/searching for a signal (we live on the edge of the Verizon service map). I missed a call back from a few people on the...
