    Redbox Testing Higher Priced DVD Rentals, Offering Games

    Redbox is da bomb for me. Small town, only one video store that wants $5.99 for a two-day rental. So with 5 Redbox machines guess who is going out of business. I reserve the movie online, so all I have to do is swipe the cc and I'm out of there. Usually I can select a location that doesn't...

    Foxconn Suicides Are Officially Out of Control

    Must be all those bad 1156 brackets and sockets... I noticed that MSI went to all LOTES brackets and mostly LOTES sockets as well. This is too bad. Although there is a cultural bias for this behavior, it is still too bad.

    DVD Rentals Beating DVD Sales

    When I can rent a movie for $1, I will ALWAYS rent it, then if I like it buy it. So I guess the stoopid studio execs don't understand the concept or "pre-view"??? Just how damn dumb can they be?

    Wireless Hospitals Systems Can Disrupt Med Devices

    QFT As a Hospital CEO I know that cell phones do not interfere with equipment--that is unless the user is within 6 feet of the patient. That actually is the 20 some odd year old rule. So to enforce the rule most hospital's just put up the NO CELL notice and call it good. That is until the...
