• Commented on College Students Arrested For Refusing To Pay Tip
  Karma has been balanced. If this has been on the local news then they've lost much more business than the lousy tip came to. I'm sure the case will either be dropped or they judge will fine them the 18%...
• Commented on Reader Says He Was Tackled At Walmart For Not Showing Receipt

• Commented on Will You Try To Drop Your Voice Plan Now That There's VoIP On The iPhone?

• Commented on Is The iPhone 3G Liquid Sensor A Filthy Liar?

• Commented on Home Depot Won't Let You Buy Stuff Without Knowing What You Plan To Do With It
