• Commented on Google Slaps Overstock.com On The Wrists For Tinkering With Search Results
  Okay, point taken. Those things help to identify your content, which does help improve rankings. However, in my experience, content is the deciding factor. You could have absolutely lousy SEO and still have great ranking. And, you could have great...
• Commented on Undercover TSA Agent Makes It Through Full-Body Scanners With Gun In Her Undies
  The screeners were "disciplined?" What does it take for these guys to get fired? I'm sorry, but if a person is able to get through airline security with a gun, not once but 5 times, then someone clearly wasn't doing...
• Commented on Is This A Macy's Ad, Or A Math Test?
  They probably don't want to show the real price of the jewelry up front. That way, the sales rep has a chance to explain to the customers what an awesome deal they are getting....
• Commented on Google Slaps Overstock.com On The Wrists For Tinkering With Search Results
  Really, the only good way to boost search engine rankings is to serve good content. Most other methods will run the risk of getting your site penalized by Google....
• Commented on GM Didn't Tell Me About Recall Before My Engine Caught Fire, Won't Help Me Out
  Wouldn't he risk a price increase and/or a deductible amount if he filed a claim under insurance?...
• Commented on This Is Why You Don't Answer Anonymous Telephone Surveys At Work
  The trick is to provide proof that they altered the recording....
• Commented on UPS Guy Outwits Thieves With Clever Hiding Place
  So, don't keep us waiting... where's the package?...
• Commented on Target Ignores Its Own Ban, Lets Petitioners Annoy Shoppers
  Absolutely. I see the display, I see the uniforms, I see the signs... if I wanted cookies, I think I could find them if I really wanted to. No need to harass everyone walking past....
• Commented on Target Ignores Its Own Ban, Lets Petitioners Annoy Shoppers
  It's one thing for a Salvation Army worker to stand there ringing a bell. It's another to be stopped and asked for something. One is a passive approach, and the other is more aggressive. I'm fine with a passive type...
• Commented on Oregon Woman Sues McDonalds Over Too-Hot Coffee
  I'm sure that McDonalds, after losing the original lawsuit, made the necessary changes required to keep from losing this lawsuit again. If not, then they absolutely deserve what's coming....
• Commented on Senate Concerned About Buy.com's Aggressive Webloyalty Checkout Hardsell
  Also, as a web designer, one of the first things you learn when designing a commerce site is that people don't read if they don't have to. This page's design definitely plays on that....
• Commented on Senate Concerned About Buy.com's Aggressive Webloyalty Checkout Hardsell
  "Please draw me a sketch of how this could be idiot-proofed any more than it is." There are a number of sleazy tactics at work here that need to be addressed: 1) The action buttons are below the fold, making...
• Commented on Senate Concerned About Buy.com's Aggressive Webloyalty Checkout Hardsell
  I would say it's deceptive. Shopping cart pages should be designed to reach one goal, which is the purchase of a product. The positioning of the elements in this page would confuse some users into thinking that the sign-up was...
• Commented on College Students Arrested For Refusing To Pay Tip
  @RvLeshrac: "Why should the waiter bother coming by to check on your drinks if they aren't getting paid based on performance?" If waiters/waitresses are crappy at their job, they would get fired. Just like any other job. We ALL get...
• Commented on Verizon Configures Phones So You Incur Erroenous Data Charges? (To The Tune Of $300 Million)
  @plim: Yes, but 1.99 times the number of people that this applies to = big cost to Verizon....
• Commented on How Epic Bureaucracy Led To GM's Doom
  @IfThenElvis: I test drove one, and I must admit it was a very comfortable and spacious vehicle. They're also dirt cheap. I almost considered buying it despite its outward appearance. But then I did some more research and found that...
• Commented on Walmart Security Guard Gets Head-butted, Sat On, Peed On
  @bloggerX: Agreed. It's generally a bad idea to chase shoplifters... it could lead to people getting hurt or worse. The stuff is insured, and the police will have a description of the shoplifter. The guards should be satisfied with that...
• Commented on Walmart Security Guard Gets Head-butted, Sat On, Peed On
  @Nogard13: I don't know about that... all the research I've done seems to indicate that store security DOES have the right to detain shoplifters until police arrive....
• Commented on Verizon Customer Finds Upgrade Dates Can Be Flexible If You Want A Droid
  @h3llc4t, breaker of office dress codes: The end of a contract doesn't refer to the end of service, it just means that once the contract is over, you would no longer get stuck with fees if you decided to leave...
• Commented on Never Follow A Security Guard Into The Back Of The Store
  @Chris Walters: It reminds me of someone I know in loss prevention who caught a city official stealing a food item from Walmart... There was absolutely no reason for the guy to steal, he had plenty of money. I guess...
• Commented on Denied A Credit Card? Try A Reconsideration Letter
  First step before you do this: take a step back and carefully consider if there is a good reason you were denied the card in the first place. Credit card companies want to give people credit cards; it's how they...
• Commented on Never Follow A Security Guard Into The Back Of The Store
  @shadowkahn: Unfortunately, I don't see anything that Menards could be charged with. (but then again, IANAL.) First of all, Menards had the 5 point checklist they need to accuse someone of shoplifting. The need to witness: 1) customer entering the...
• Commented on PerfectPitch Owner Apologizes For DMCA Notice, Explains What Happened
  @PSUSkier: Yeah, I snickered a bit too when I read that they were in "shock and horror."...
• Commented on Guy Orders 20 Xboxes, Microsoft Won't Give Him Right Power Brick For Just One
  At that point I would hang up and try again. You might get a rep that will actually help you out....
• Commented on Should We Tax Junk Food?
  I am against any special taxes on any sort of food, beverage, or tobacco product. Why? Because the only reason the government chooses to tax those products is because people with strong convictions will vote for them. It has nothing...
• Commented on If Best Buy Gave You A Free Xbox 360 By Accident, Would You Give It Back?
  @Radi0logy: If rights and wrongs are purely subjective, then every criminal out there could argue (correctly) that what they did was "the right thing to do." Of course, if anyone were to argue that, then they'd be right as well....
• Commented on If Best Buy Gave You A Free Xbox 360 By Accident, Would You Give It Back?
  @coren: no, it's still stealing, even if it was their mistake. Consent implies that Best Buy knows the full situation. If you go back to them and tell them, and they let you keep the second one anyways, then it's...
• Commented on How To Ruin Your Jeans On The Cheap
  @Techguy1138: I'm of the opinion that there's some marketing genius out there that figured out a way to sell worn out jeans, charge more for them than regular jeans, and pass them off as "rugged" or "personalized." It's also sad...
• Commented on Capital One To Credit Card Applicant: It's Not So Much You, It's Your Area
  @NeverLetMeDown: couldn't agree more. The fact that the company is "desperate" for more credit seems to indicate the the company is on a down hill slope, and only trying to delay the inevitable. A higher credit line is not going...
• Commented on Monster Energy Threatens Actual Movie Monster (We're Not Kidding)
  @CaptZ: Now we need someone to photoshop a picture of Monster Cable's CEO holding a can of Monster energy drink. That would be amazing....
