Fashion Photographer Offers $5,000 Reward For Demi Moore's Hip
The curve of the hip and the angle of the leg below the dress do not match up even if she had an indentation in her hip. The other tell tale glitch is the gathering on the two edges of fabric of the dress. It is obviously a thin drapey fabric. For it to stick out like that it would have to be padded with something. If it was stiffened like with a starch it would not have the smooth round curve. The image defies physics and is photoshopped within an inch of its life.
Cracker Barrel Maple Syrup Struck By Shrink Ray And Sugar Ray
@h3llc4t, breaker of office dress codes: This ruins the point of getting pancakes at Cracker Barrel. It is one of those high calorie indulgence meals. The pure maple syrup was one of the indulgences because I rarely keep the real deal in the kitchen at home. I would rather they increased prices.

@TCama: wouldn't a squeeze bottle be sanitary? But then they would have the issue of people using half the bottle at one sitting. Maybe they should just upcharge if you want real maple syrup rather than the flavored stuff or fruit syrups.

@bornonbord: They also cut the portion sizes in half over about a year period of time. We used to eat at Cracker Barrel frequently when we traveled on weekends. One of their big breakfast meals was enough to last you all day, this is why we ate there before we hit the road. We noticed portions became smaller about late 2007. Then they became smaller again in 2008. That was the point we quit eating there. They quit serving the purpose of a large meal before we traveled home.
Fewer Consumers Write Personal Checks, Fewer Retailers Accept Them
I write 2-3 paper checks a month. Two are for groceries because go to the grocery store in the morning the same day that payroll hits the bank and our bank doesn't always have accounts updated by 8am. I only write a third check if house payment is due right after payday since doing an online bill pay from our other bank takes about 3-5 days to get it there.
I don't even have paper checks for one of our checking accounts and can't remember what year I bought the box of checks I am using.
Fewer Consumers Write Personal Checks, Fewer Retailers Accept Them
@Stephen Colon: This is one of my pet peeve's with our school district. There is no way to pay electronically on their website for things like school lunch or routine fees. They don't want kids bringing cash to school.
They lost a paper check I wrote between the slats of the wood elevated sidewalk and called to have me write them a new one. That would have also cost me a $25 stop check fee at the bank and a check with my signature would have been blowing around town. I made them send the janitor out to get it.
Possible Class-Action Suit Alleges Xbox Bans Result Of Vast Redmond Conspiracy
@Chumas: This is really at the core of my problem with what Microsoft did. They determined that owners of an xbox could not open their consoles or have anyone but Microsoft do any repairs and at a grossly inflated price. Can you imagine the outrage if some company tried to do this with computers? Telling someone they can't repair or replace their own hardware is excessive and sounds like possibly an illegal business practice. What if Chevy said you could only get your vehicle serviced with them at 10x the going rate?
Microsoft took many benign actions and lumped them in with the one mod that would allow pirated games. Then banned everyone.

@ximmaculatex: So you have no problem adding this logic to PCs and cars then?
This whole deal with the Xboxes caused us to finally mark them off our list of possible new game consoles for the house.

Cheap Package Design Tricks People Into Dropping Motorola Droid On Floor
This is quite the money making scam. Sell someone a very expensive phone that breaks right out of the box (literally) with no hope of refund and a 2 year contract!
