Best Amazon.com Customer Reviews page EVAR!

I never got around to writing about it, but awhile back word was spreading on the blogs about an amazingly overpriced set of ethernet cables being put out by the folks at Denon that supposedly enhanced audio playback to such a degree that they were selling these cables for a mere $500.

An amusing discussion at work over the “Zeitgeist” movie.

Every morning at work we gather in the cafeteria of one of the buildings to check-in with the boss and find out what most of us will be doing that day. For me it’s the same thing, I run tickets, which I hate, but which I’m overly competent at so all the RC’s ask that . . . → Read More: An amusing discussion at work over the “Zeitgeist” movie.

Makers of “Airborne” opt to settle in class action suit.

If you’ve caught a cold in the last ten years then you’ve probably had at least one person try to convince you to use a product called Airborne, a purported cure for the common cold which proudly proclaims it was invented by a school teacher. Because the first person you look for when you’re sick . . . → Read More: Makers of “Airborne” opt to settle in class action suit.

Maybe this will wipe that grin off “Smilin’ Bob’s” smarmy face.

The verdict is in on the Enzyte fraud case I wrote about awhile back. Owner Steve Warshak has been found guilty:

Here’s a shocker: Those Enzyte ads are pure bullshit.

I’ve written about Enzyte before after a man had the balls to admit the product didn’t help his undersized manhood become super-sized, something the company was hoping would never happen. I’ve not kept up with what the company has been up to since then, but it turns out that the Feds have gone after them . . . → Read More: Here’s a shocker: Those Enzyte ads are pure bullshit.

Excellent OpEd from an airline pilot on the idiocy of airport security.

Go read this New York Times OpEd by Patrick Smith. It’s an excellent rant about the idiocy that passes for security that is the TSA. A snippet:

No matter that a deadly sharp can be fashioned from virtually anything found on a plane, be it a broken wine bottle or a snapped-off length of . . . → Read More: Excellent OpEd from an airline pilot on the idiocy of airport security.

Fuck you AT&T.

AT&T just released a new Terms of Service agreement which has a provision that says they can cancel your service if you say bad things about them:

5.1 Suspension/Termination. Your Service may be suspended or terminated if your payment is past due and such condition continues un-remedied for thirty (30) days. In addition, AT&T may . . . → Read More: Fuck you AT&T.

Viacom demonstrates the meaning of the word “hypocrisy.”

Viacom luvs them some Reality TV Programming because it tends to be cheap as hell to make in part because it’s often composed of work generated by someone else. A good example of this is their VH1 show Web Junk 2.0 which is composed entirely of viral video clips that have been making the rounds . . . → Read More: Viacom demonstrates the meaning of the word “hypocrisy.”
