Lady Weeps With Joy As First Texas In-N-Out Burger Opens
Hopefully they last longer than Fatburger did here in Texas...it was a sad sad day when I discovered their San Antonio location had closed.
This Blockbuster Has Pretty Much Given Up
Blockbusters have been closing left and right in my area, I went to one last Saturday night, and there were maybe eight people total in the store, including the two employees. Netflix was good before, and with instant watch via Xbox 360 it is now AWESOME.

I Lowered My Time Warner Bill In 4 Minutes, Just By Asking
Here is the deal with the "on hold" thing, or at least the way it worked when I worked at Time Warner:
When you call the tech support line and threaten to cancel, the sales/tech support CSR should put you on hold and transfer you over to the retention department.
Now unless you have a really dim CSR, they aren't going to TELL you that (I did overhear it a few times myself). Once you're in retention its time to play "let's make a deal." That said, your account may have a note saying "Do NOT send to retention" if they feel you've gone to the well too many times.

Poll: Will You Shop At Bankrupt Circuit City?
