This Target Coupon Is Made Of Lies
Why use a 10% B&B coupon when they give 20% all the time to people?
The First Batch Of One-Year iPhone Warranties Are About To Expire, Or Why You Shouldn't Be An Early Adopter
First of all, paying 69$ for another few years of warranty on a phone that is outdated as of next month and whose new version sells for 200$ doesn't make sense whatsoever.
Second, even though the iPhone was extremely expensive (I was one of the ones that got screwed with the early purchase) it does things that no other phone do: Full web (except for flash) without any adaptation. My workplace uses a crappy webmail system, and I haven't seen the phone that can handle that except for the iPhone. Being able ot have full internet rather than "mobile sites' rocks.
Third, kudos to apple for replacing my phone and the headset right away (admittedly, with a refurb) when I finally came to the store a few days ago with a few problems on my phone.
Privacy: What It's Like To Fly With No ID Under The TSA's New Regulations
As much as I value individual rights and all the yada yada yada, the US is unique in the range of things one can do without an id card, INCLUDING VOTE.
I have flown frequently in Europe and you simply don't go on a plane without an identification. Its a basic security precaution. Can it be faked? Of course, but it's one more obstacle and a way to identify suspicious behavior. Terrorists are not actually as smart and complicated as one they expect; they typically use glaring holes in a security system.
Also, what sort of an idiot goes to a different part of the country without any form of ID or a driver's license (I know this is a funeral, but he did this before). How do you check into a hotel, rent a car, enter a cab, buy liquor, or visit a hospital if you're sick without any form of photo ID?
And to the person who asked about the "did you pack yourself?" stuff: It's obvious to people who fly regularly, but if you're not used to traveling outside your tiny little hamlet, you might be willing to do a favour for that nice man in the terminal who asked you to bring something to his friend at your destination. Pigs don't fly, but idiots do.
Dear New York Philharmonic: Please Don't Call Me In The Middle Of Performances To Ask For Money
It's a fact of life that telemarketers, solicitors, and direct mailers don't really cross check their lists. It's easier to just call or mail than to spend the effort figuring out who not to contact.
For example, I routinely get recruitment mail from all branches of the military, and requests for donations from both Democrats and Republicans. This wouldn't be a problem, except that I am not a US citizen, so I cannot join the army, nor can I contribute to a party or even registered to vote.
"So Apparently They Decided To Turn Our Apartment Complex Into A Nudist Colony"
Maybe I'm not understanding something, but the description doesn't seem true nudist... The swimming pool is described as "European style" (though in the pool image they seem fully nude). European style applies just to women, what about the men ? :)
7 Ways To Have A Gorgeous And Inexpensive Wedding
7 Ways To Have A Gorgeous And Inexpensive Wedding
We had a small wedding and didn't want to go with the fancy wedding cakes that taste like stale bread. We ended up getting a huge two-level decorated cake at Coldstone Creamery (I'm not kidding). It was the tastiest wedding cake ever, and only cost a fraction of what other places would want.
UPDATE: I Am Fed Up With HP And Bought A Macbook Instead
HP sucks. They keep outdating every product (printer, scanner, etc.) when operating systems change (e.g., vista) so you have to buy new ones.
McDonald's CEO Calls Customers Who Want Calories On Menu Boards "CAVE People"
McDonalds are actually very good about advertising nutritional info. Every burger has the nutritional info on the wrapper, and there is a full table on every tray-paper.
PErsonally, I'd like the full info when I order (especially drive through).
However, it seems that most people really don't give a damn, or they wouldn't be eating those three triples.

100 Calorie Packs Makes You Fat
This is the dumbest thing that I've ever seen.
The whole point of the small bags is that people tend to finish the portion that they're given, so a smaller bag allows them to take on small portion. Obviously taking more than one bag beats the purpose.
