• Commented on One Man's Campaign To End Six Months Without A Working Haier TV
  A friend of mine bought a Haier washer/drier set. Took him 18 months to get the issue resolved with Haier finally taking the machine back and refunding his money. He claimed the models were were ranked fairly high on Consumer...
• Commented on Report: Warner Bros. Will Stretch New Release Rental Window From 28 To 56 Days
  The rental market is returning to the 80's mindset when it used to take forever for a movie to release on VHS, and then it was really expensive to buy....
• Commented on SiriusXM 'Everything' Plan Does Not, In Fact, Include Everything
  Netflix should pay attention to Sirius/XM. Once a good thing gone bad with horrible business decisions. I cancelled a radio back in Feb only to get charged in August because the CSR decided I didn't really want to cancel, I...
• Commented on Christmas Creep Pops Up Down Under
  Cracker Barrel has the fall/winter holiday orgy with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all on display....
• Commented on Time Warner Cable Expands With Purchase Of Insight Communications
  Doesn't TWC have some of the lowest broadband caps in the land? I just moved back to KY and got Insight Business for broadband, paid the extra $ so I wouldn't have to deal with caps. Hopefully TWC doesn't screw...
• Commented on Capital One Sends You Over 20 Credit Card Offers In 3 Months
  I wrote in to Consumerist a month ago about a similar experience with Chase - guess since I didn't include pictures for proof it wasn't worthy. Today, I received 4 offers from Chase, duplicates mind you of 2 offers. Normally...
• Commented on Ultimate Electronics To Liquidate, Close All Stores
  next on the chopping block, HH Gregg. They're expanding in the same way Ultimate did with the same product lines....
• Commented on Ultimate Electronics To Liquidate, Close All Stores
  This is shocking. Just moved from Denver this summer and last year they shut down the stores in Denver for at least a couple of weeks for remodeling and reopened the week before Black Friday. Oddly enough, they were intentionally?...
• Commented on Best Buy Puts An End To Tyrannical Restocking Fees
  Amazon appears to be selective, I returned a Mac-Mini with no restocking fee after keeping it for 2 weeks. Of course, it might have something to do with me being a Prime member and spending an insane amount of money...
• Commented on Amazon Prime Customers Don't Like Ensenda, Either
  Here in NW PA, Amazon will use a company called Prestige. They show up in worn-out mini-vans with little to no marking on the vehicles. I've actually had a package delayed due to "weather conditions" in the middle of September....
• Commented on Good News, Everyone: Microwaveable Milkshakes Exist
  These things were a life saver when I had my wisdom teeth pulled out 20 years ago. As an adult, these things are calorie bombs....
• Commented on Consumer Advocate Says Protection Agency Should Be Like Harvard's Elizabeth Warren
  I only hope, since this isn't cabinet level, Obama can just appoint her. As you said, if he doesn't, it will prove (not trying to get political here) that he is now warmed by the same Wall St. blanket that...
• Commented on Consumer Advocate Says Protection Agency Should Be Like Harvard's Elizabeth Warren
  She is brilliant. I saw her on Bill Maher just after the credit card reform act passed (or was set to take effect) and she was nothing but brutally honest, indicating that of the 10 or so measures outlined, at...
• Commented on I Couldn't Download Album From Amazon, Which Says It's Not Them, It's Me
  Odd, I had an issue with downloads and emailed Amazon customer service. They quickly replied saying they had reset the ability to download the title from my Amazon library....
• Commented on Lady Enters Security With $24,000 Rolex, Leaves Without, Suit Alleges
  Happened to me at DIA last week, though it was a Citizen watch and not a Rolex....
• Commented on Delete Your Facebook Account Forever
  I think your preferences are going to be ignored when it comes to them selling ad-space and access to their "apps". That's the whole issue at stake. Users are not going to be able to see your data, but when...
• Commented on Delete Your Facebook Account Forever
  I posted a link to the EFF site with these changes, biding adieu to FB. Like you, will keep the account for 7 days, then no mas....
• Commented on Bank Sues Victim To Avoid Replacing $200k In Stolen Funds
  The IP address should have been a HUGE red flag for the bank, but with so many "bots" on unprotected computers this could have easily be routed via US IP addresses. The fact that the computers were able to register...
• Commented on Ohio Spends $1 Million Of Stimulus Money To Tell You It's Spending Stimulus Money
  Anderson Cooper had a segment on this last night. There were but a handful of states not using stimulus money for the signs. Some states are putting up signs months ahead of any construction being performed....
• Commented on Netflix CEO Explains Why They Made The 28-Day Delay Deal
  Something that irritated me when this was announced was Comcast can still deliver the movie on release-day via On-Demand, albeit at a higher price and much more limited viewing period. And since Comcast has a 250GB cap on internet activity,...
• Commented on Bacon Salt Gift Pack: The Only Thing You Need To Buy Today
  Amazon had a bigger set of this right before x-mas.. I used it for white elephant gift exchange and it was a huge hit. People were fighting over it. I'm sure the idea of "bacon everything" sounds better in theory...
• Commented on 24 Hour Fitness Sued For Charging Ex-Customers Fees
  Costco sells a 2 year 24 Hour membership for about the same or less than a 1 year if purchased directly from 24 Hour. That would be one way of preventing them from having access to your bank info, assuming...
• Commented on CVS Will Automatically Refill Your Prescription, Consent Be Damned
  Target is doing this as well. I get the phone call once a month the the 612 area code, even though the refill count has been exceeded from the original prescription. Wonder how long they can get away with this...
• Commented on
  If only people wouldn't read while driving as well. I realize I-71 though Ohio isn't the most challenging of roads, but I remember seeing several people with a book propped up on the steering wheel.....
• Commented on Microsoft Retail Stores Prepare For Sensory Overload, Global Domination
  I imagine these will be Zune, 360 & Windows Mobile centric. I doubt they're going to be showcasing server SKU's. I bet the stores come and go like fireworks stands & Christmas stores. Unlike Apple, you don't need an vendor...
• Commented on Twitter Lawsuit Company Tells Its Side Of Story
  @Gamerver05: Agreed. And moving out without fulfilling lease because of mold she may not have reported is unacceptable as well. I can pseudo-relate to tenant -if- she reported it. My previous apartment didn't let me know that if parked in...
• Commented on Twitter Lawsuit Company Tells Its Side Of Story
  @Mackinstyle: From the most trusted source of all this correct, paraphrasing wikipedia: "However, when mold spores are present in large quantities, they can present a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems." So, yeah, coming home...
• Commented on Twitter Lawsuit Company Tells Its Side Of Story
  Lease agreements generally have a "can't sue while tenant" clause, don't they? I guess this is why she sued and her attorney filed for class-action status -after- she moved out. The person at Horizon is an idiot..."much to our surprise...
• Commented on Kaplan GRE Test Prep Software Fails Windows Vista Exam
  @bobert: Oh, then shame on Kaplan all the way. Agreed on their business model, hopefully this post will bring light to it and coerce them into at least making the product capable with Windows PC's build after 2007....
• Commented on Kaplan GRE Test Prep Software Fails Windows Vista Exam
  Just out of curiosity, did the book list the supported O/S for the software? If so, there isn't much of a fight if it didn't list Vista. Granted, most people do think to check that. I remember running NT4 workstation...
