    HP kills WebOS, exits PC business?

    Funny how “He also made it clear that any possible spin-off of the PC business won't happen soon, and said that the company will take 12 to 18 months to consider its options, further adding that he is "taking ownership" of all of these decisions.” Translates into HP is toast. Go spread your...

    HP kills WebOS, exits PC business?

    I really hope HP doesn’t spin off their PC operations. I’ve been loyal to Compaq and now HP since 1996. They put together some nice machines and make some truly awesome displays. Can’t say I’ve ever had any big time issue with any of the HP products I’ve purchased over the years, a Compaq...

    The Stupidest Commercial I have ever seen...

    Some of the best advertising campaigns are ones that hit your sense of curiosity. They hit on something but don’t let the cat out of the bag. This drives up web traffic. AT&T did this some years ago with ‘MLife’ which was totally retarded but did exactly what they wanted it to do. I take...

    The Stupidest Commercial I have ever seen...

    Yep. Axe (or Lynx, as it’s called in the rest of the world) is a Unilever product (the company that makes Dove, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Ben & Jerrys Ice cream and a buch of other stuff) that makes products for men, hair care, deodorants, body spray and such. Their commercials and been...

    VoIP Provider Recommendations

    Hey, I'll quote you on that in 2 years from now when you're looking for a new VoIP provider because your current one went out of business. I’d rather be able to say with certainty that I’ll have phone service tomorrow then look at my call history, which I can’t say I’ve ever had the inkling to...

    How to put phone number on permanent ignore in Android?

    You shouldn't need to do anything on your phone itself. If Verizon Wireless is like every other phone provider you should be able to log on to your online account management and be able to block specific phone numbers from calling and/or texting you. Between being on the state and federal...

    VoIP Provider Recommendations

    And in a few years when Ooma goes a la SunRocket, will you just move over to the next cheapest rinky dink provider until they go belly up? Never had any issues with my TW digital phone service. It's nice having the peace of mind knowing that tomorrow morning when I pick up the phone there is a...

    Sony cuts PlayStation prices

    Never had that happen, I’ve always been reimbursed the differences on my credit card. This past winter when I bought my A/V receiver Best Buy played teeter-totter with the pricing. I paid $1000 for it, they raised it $100, then lowered it $200 a few weeks later, making it $900. I went back...

    BBC Radio 1 Being Removed from SIRIUS/XM

    I can't say I've used a normal Sirius receiver in a long time, but my Sony A/V receiver had no issues a few months ago when the channel lineup was completely redone

    VoIP Provider Recommendations

    The situation with Ooma the other day is why I would NEVER EVER use any of these rinky dink VoIP providers. They simply cannot be trusted. You get for what you pay for, and there is a reason why these companies charge very little to nothing for their services.

    AT&T Mobility To Throttle Unlimited Users

    And this is why AT&T sucks. Complaining about it on an internet message board isn't going to do anything. Cancel your AT&T service and tell them to shove it.
