• Commented on McDonald's Shamrock Shake To Spread Minty Green Rapture Nationwide For The First Time
  I don't understand why this post says it's going out nationwide for the first time ever? Hasn't it always been the "special" shake flavor at every Mickey D's every St. Patty's Day for time immemorial? (still jonesing for a Jack...

  Yelp reviews -- http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-quyen-san-jose And an older CBS5 story on the place -- http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/06/20/concerns-over-scantly-clad-waitresses-in-san-jose-cafes -- apparently many wives of the clientele didn't take too kindly to their husbands oogling the barristas. :-)...

  I couldn't really care what a full-of-himself actor really thinks of a regular working class schmuck who was probably already having a tough day before said pompous actor walked in the doors....

• Commented on Track Your Frequent Flyer Miles With Award Wallet
  I pay for a MileageManager (or actually did pay; my multi-year membership just expired a few days ago and I'm mulling whether to renew), a website much like Award Wallet. How does Award Wallet make their revenue, if it's free...
• Commented on Come November You Will Be Able To Search Netflix Streaming Content Via Xbox

• Commented on Make Free Cell Phone Calls With...MagicJack?
  everything I've read about this product has been good which means A) it's a sham (gosh, reading Consumerist makes me jaded) and / or B) AT&T is probably already ordering their hordes of lawyers and lobbyists to pester the FCC...
• Commented on JFK Delta Terminal A Living Hellhole, Cops Called To Quell Crowds
  I escaped JFK yesterday out of that same gate (and truly thankful I made it, even though the confirmed first class upgrade that I had used miles to upgrade when ticketing got yanked away and I was put in a...
• Commented on Yeah, It's Pretty Much Chaos At Delta/Northwest Right Now
  Delta is doing away with Northwest flight numbers (and selling Northwest coded tickets) sometime in January. As a Northwest "Elite" (that just means I endure more abuse than most), I'm really dreading that....
• Commented on Hilton Complimentary Internet Access In Lobby Costs $10 A Day
  Customers should consider themselves lucky to even get access to $10 "Complimentary" Internet. I've stayed at hotels in Europe where in-room Internet access can set the guest back between $30 - $40 per DAY....

• Commented on Nobody Look At The Paypal Secretly Adding New Fees
  As a self-employed kind of contractor who sometimes receives credit card payments via PayPal (where there's already a 2.9% + $0.30 fee deducted from anything I receive), is there any benefit for using somewhere else different as a "micro" credit...
