    Angie’s List Defends Removing Negative Reviews

    Personally, my take is this. The bad review should not be taken down, instead it should be updated that it was resolved through a refund or through rework or whatever. This is both a win-win for Angie's list the consumer. Both identified a bad contractor while the consumer didn't lose any...

    Seattle Considers Allowing Uber And Lyft Drivers To Unionize

    Uber and Lyft are privately own companies. I've never had qualm against Unions in the private sectors. At least the private sector has the option of shutting down or moving their operations somewhere else. Let them drivers have a vote and then unionize as they wish. If Uber and Lyft cannot grant...

    New PayPal Phishing Scheme

    Courts: You Can't Collect $3,500 For Negative Review

    Now that we all know about KlearGear, I wonder who shops there? Anybody? The damn store sounds like a communist store from China! Maybe worse!

    58% of Americans Still Own a VCR

    With new DVR, you either pay subscription fee to make it work or you pay an arm & leg and still comes short of all the channels available. Maybe if there is one company that can interface an HDMI input (from a HD cable box) and HDMI output to the TV at a price less than $200, many people will...

    Undercover Cops Selling Stolen iPhones

    Well, this is only to validate that crooks are now way smarter than Cops. In this case the Cops cannot catch the crooks so they focused on the crooks "to be customers"! I wonder if they have tried Gazelle yet?

    T-Mobile Ordered to Rehire Whistleblowers

    Fine appeal it! But if your appeal is unsubstantiated which will dearly cost the employee concerned, then the labor dept should just order the permanent termination of the said employee with a compensation equal to life time wages (62 years old) with the company at the current wage rate! You...

    T-Mobile Ordered to Rehire Whistleblowers

    This is the old ways for business. In these days of digital communication firms actually should prefer to hire those who had the guts to rat not only on the company they work for but also for their fellow workers. Now don't assume the firm wants to hear everything about ratting but only those...

    Apple Has 8.8% Phone Market Share But 73% Of Profits

    When 100% of your products are made from 100% sweatshops paying 15 cents an hour what do you expect? Not to mention the invisible level of support including defective products!

    Biographer Says Bill Gates Was Smarter Than Steve Jobs

    I don't think I agree. I think as far as Jobs is concerned he was not really able to make Apple get off the mud until Apple decided to use sweatshops in China to make a decent profit. Bill made profits big time even before China even understood what the word "DOS" really means!

    Can Brick-And-Mortar Retailers Beat Amazon At The Pricing Game?

    It's not impossible for B&M to overtake Amazon but it will be very hard! With very little overhead costs & Amazon's free shipping policy on most items or purchases of more than $25 it will not be easy. B&M's greatest advantage over Amazon is their ability to provide instant gratification. So...

    IE Reclaims Lost Ground in Browser Battle

    After crashes and crashed in one day and then turns into weeks, it was time to switch off Firefox and decided to stick with Chrome. Speed and simplicity wise nothing beats the Chrome. IE9 is just annoying for slowness although it seems to be more solid compare to 6 and 8. The biggest adoption...

    Best Buy Closing 50 Stores

    When BB opted to give up and not to support or attract (bargain hunters) customers because it thinks they are not profitable, I guess it didn't realize besides the ignorant 10%, all customers are bargain hunters. Hence they mostly all do online shopping!

    Why Won’t Wireless Companies Help Stop Cell Phone Thefts?

    The Japanese cell phone system has been designed to ward off thieves right from the get go. All cell phones are locked and if you report it stolen, the cellphone companies disables service to that stolen cell phone and it ain't worth but 100 Yen for salvage. You can take a tour of Akihabara and...

    Raidmax Seiran Full Tower Case

    That's what I thought. My current full tower soars at 25" (including the base and 24" without the base). This one only measures at a lowly 19" high! Sounds more like a extended mid-tower rather than a full tower. I like full tower because it can stand on the floor without having to take on desk...

    Comcast Charges Its Customers $25 To Fix Billing Mistake

    I used to let them do the auto-billing but after reading all those stoopid billing mistakes, I resorted back to the old snail mail. It doesn't do me any good having the auto-biller or the snail mail but I sure do get control of my money. I still use my bank's free online web bill pay so it's...
