    Samsung Sucks -- Less (Updated!)

    Scott, did you buy it with a credit card? Cards like American Express may have extended warranty coverage that you don't realize you may have. That could be another route to go.

    Samsung Sucks -- Less (Updated!)

    My wife has a Samsung Blackjack phone that always glitched. We both went to iPhones after that and they just work...... I decided to give Samsung another look after seeing the amazing picture on the 50" model instore, and the price was right. Good reviews online, but I am a little wary. I...

    Samsung Sucks -- Less (Updated!)

    Also, I'm a little nervous as I just bought a new Samsung TV to replace my old 2003 era Sony Rear Projection Set that finally died. Hopefully, it doesn't misbehave like your appliance. Refrigerators have always been problematic for me. I had one (bought in 2007) that required a $600 repair...

    Samsung Sucks -- Less (Updated!)

    Time to call a lawyer. Lemon law time. You can also call the news department at someone like WABC in New York.... They have the reporter who fights on consumers' behalf, of course shaming them on TV in a major media market. That may help your case. The fact that you run a technology...

    Gas Price Info With National Gas Temperature Map

    Gas prices do this every year... they plunge in the fall/early winter and then creep back up before popping in the late spring/early summer. As for the 4Q2012 0.1% contraction, it was due to a 15% drop in federal defense spending (many contracts call for 90 day prior notice, so it was a mini...

    Gas Price Info With National Gas Temperature Map

    Local Exxon had regular gas for $2.99 at the Jersey Shore just before Christmas, it is now at $3.29 one month later. Getting nervous that this fledgling economy is gonna get tagged by gas prices again. They are shutting down two refineries near Philly as well, which isn't helping matters...

    You might be a SatGuy if you reel off a dozen technical reasons to the telemarketer who calls you at dinner WHY you don't want to switch TV providers (Your model XYZ-30 is too slow, your guide refresh rate is too slow, I can't attach my 2 TB external hard drive to it, you don't have the adult...

    Wow! I still only have two of the items. (I had a third, but it was a duplicate) Too bad the Daily Take doesn't spot me one of those every now and then. Did you get something decent at least for your trouble? (edit - never mind - just saw the 10% loot drop when reading further) BTW, anyone...

    He had probably bought some of the ninjas and stuff at the faction store, but then had to sell it at 50 cents on the dollar when he had required items to buy. That's what happened to me.... I have completed New York and Cuba, but I still have two chapters to complete in Russia. Whenever I hit...

    I just like that they lowered the energy costs. I hated doing only about a dozen jobs a day... It is nice to be able to do a bunch again... Bangkok is mega stingy though... and I thought Russia was tightfisted with the cash disbursements...
