Raelyn Campbell is suing Best Buy for $54 million
for losing her laptop and lying to her for months about it. She bought
a laptop from Best Buy with an extended warranty, it broke, she sent it
in for repairs, months later she didn’t have her laptop and after
getting the runaround the store finally said it had lost [...]

After spending about half an hour a day on Facebook (in which Microsoft has invested), Bill Gates closes his Facebook account when his incoming number of friend requests overwhelmed him.
…furthermore, for his crimes against humanity, he should be forced to use his own products for the rest of his life.  Some will say it’s too [...]

After several long hard looks at my ailing Windows box, I have come to the conclusion that the problem is either the motherboard or processor.
Regardless of which, the problem is fatal.

It’s not like I used to pay tons of attention to this, but I have never heard anything like this.  It’s all right out on the open, like most of the Bush-ops.
Ron Paul’s name was crossed off on ballots in Brooklyn.  Further, voters were told there were only two republicans running.
Are we going to sit [...]

So I was minding my own business the other day, when my remaining Windows box took a dump. 
This was apparently a continuation of the last time it went wonky for no particular reason.  It’s a bit difficult to diagnose a computer that spontaneously reboots itself.
After a few tries, I managed to get the computer [...]

Featured on the rear of Guitar Player magazine is Slash, holding an Epi Les Paul.
Now we professionals, who have at some time or another gotten paid to play on an actual stage, or at least know someone who was on a stage, know that old Slashy (his friends call him Saul Hudson) doesn’t play an [...]

Just opened this month’s issue of Guitar Player magazine.
A quote jumped right off the page and bit me.  This is from Billy Duffy, of the Cult:
“I don’t get involved with turning knobs,” says Duffy, who lets others construct his tones in the studio.  “I’d rather have that third-person view, where I can just listen to [...]

In a move that should surprise no one, our ass-covering, back-stabbing congresscritters passed the `stimulus package.’
Now let’s talk turkey here (or frog, if you’d rather): even the name is bullshit.  This is a typical political tactic, much like the Patriot Act that took away rights.  That’s not very patriotic, is it?
They are no more stimulating [...]

Hey, I forget… does the blinking red light mean it’s ok?
Yes, a red light always means everything is fine and you should go ahead.Especially when driving.

I can’t remember my password after being away over the weekend.
Ok, I changed it.
I still can’t log in.
What’s your login?
I… dunno.
[hint] it’s usually your first name
Ummmmm…… I dunno…..

Hi!
Hi.
Remember last weekend, [...]

The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people’s
physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to
better identify criminals and terrorists. But it’s an issue that raises
major privacy concerns — what one civil liberties expert says should
concern all Americans.
Read the complete story here.
Yeah, it’s ok.  Trust us.  We’re the [...]
