Sports Authority Is Selling An Extended Warranty For Shoes
@MonkeyMonk: Try playing real tennis at a good level of competition.
I used to wear normal shoes it in a few weeks. In a month, they were unplayable by any standard. When I started buying REAL tennis shoes.... they started lasting 1-2 months. With an additional few bonus weeks until being unplayable. It's common in tennis that shoes come with sole durability guarantees. And most reputable shoes warranty the shoe from other types of screw ups.
So you can spend anywhere from $50 up to $110 (for the premium top of the line models) for a shoe that will last you a handful of months guaranteed.
They're obviously still making money. This is hardly I new business model......
Hey, Skype, Why Can't I Change My Billing Information?
I don't get it. The exact same thing happened to me with a citibank breach. It was no trouble at all to go in and change my account.
Apparently, I'm a genius and every one else is a moron. Go me!
Easy peazy.
Sorry Miss Butt, Your Name Is Illegal

Intern For Consumers Union In Austin
The language confuses me though.... "only applicants currently enrolled in college will be considered."
If I'm not taking summer school, does that mean it's a no-go for me?
Anyway, this time I'll apply and see.

Time Warner Cable: You're Not Getting HD Because FOX Stopped Broadcasting It
@davebg5: Basically, if it's not hooked up directly to the cable modem via ethernet, you can't be sure it's Time Warner's problem. I've given up on wireless as it's too unreliable. Then I gave up on the router altogether. Solved most issues completely. Sometimes the modem itself is at fault. When I signed up for service in my name (switched from my dads name) I got a new router and I RARELY get a dropped signal or have to re-cycle the system to get it up and running again.
In this case, I think chances are it's something you can much more easily fix on your end (and you may actually be responsible for as well) as opposed to TWC.
Though, if I was in your situation with all the other issues, I'd definitely add it to the pot. All that typed above is just meant to be FYI.
Moms Don't Want Stuff This Mother's Day
Funny. My mom usually says she doesn't want anything.... just well behaved kids that are nice to each other.
This year? She says she doesn't care about that, she wants a gift. Something material :)

Jobless College Grad Sues To Get Tuition Back, Misspells "Tuition"
@supercereal: "If anything, this case just shows you what I've noticed for awhile -- college kids have an overwhelming sense of entitlement. Now that so many people have them, a four year degree isn't a guaranteed ticket to anything these days. Just like any purchase, one has to weigh the benefits before undertaking a degree, and unfortunately, most kids out of high school don't have that kind of foresight."
That's just it though. So many people have degrees now it's not the same as it used to be. I think undergrad tuition should be lowered in general... I mean, universities are in a business gray area right now. The people don't realize that it's not worth what it used to be worth to have a college degree. The colleges are taking advantage of this.... instead of lowering prices like they should..... they keep going up!!! Despite what anyone says, I believe college has become more of a business institution than an education institution.
I think the whole system needs some regulation and revamping.
