Trying to add an additional line to my account tonight… apparently AT&T doesn’t want my money. I (did) have the 550 family talk plan and was trying to add an additional line to that – apparently that is not possible as that plan has a 3 line limit (wtf?). I was getting a message that said there was a “Unidentified Problem” with my account. O rly? How do you know there’s a problem if you [...]
I have to deal with printers a lot. Sometimes they’re just small, personal ones. And sometimes they’re large, “enterprise” versions. Almost all of them are made by HP… for one reason or another. I’ve noticed many stupid things with these printers (and HP) that I really do not understand. Here are a couple examples… I was looking up replacing a large color printer and was eying the CP5525dn. The problem is that it needs to [...]
Dear all US news outlets: Please ease up on the “royal wedding” coverage. IT IS JUST A WEDDING. No, I don’t care where this girl grew up. Nor do I want to watch an interview with one of her former preschool teachers talk about how she was such a good kid and she knew she was destined for great things and blah blah blah (I just made that up – but I’m surprised that hasn’t [...]
I can understand paying more money for access to BluRay discs. That’s fine. I like the BR option and get anything in BR that I can. We currently have the 3 at a time plan and it costs about $23 / month after taxes. That’s not bad considering that some months I’ll go through 8-10 movies if I watch them right away (I do that quite often). Two of those 3 are from my queue [...]
Do people think that repetition honestly works so well? “Hey, look, a commercial for XYZ! Oh, wait, I’m not interested in that.” *more tv show* “Hey, look, another commercial for XYZ. Nope, still not interested.” *more tv show* “Oh joy… Another XYZ commercial. Hey wait… I’m interested now… Oh wait, strike that, no I’m not.” Is that really how they imagine it going? Do people get browbeaten with 30 commercials of the same thing and [...]
… since all of the studios decided to totally fuck Netflix in the ass. This 28 day wait thing is total bullshit. I don’t care what Warner Brothers says it is doing for their sales… the increase could be ANYTHING. Maybe they actually released a few decent movies recently that people actually wanted to buy? Maybe people had a little more disposable income in that time frame? How the hell would WB know? Even if [...]
There are some times when you feel like you’re getting some sort of run around from people… like when you try to do anything with the government. The DMV for example, it just feels like those people love to fuck with you because they can. What do they care? They’re just slaves for the day anyway. Then there are times when you’re just not sure if someone is fucking with you because it wouldn’t make [...]
Is yours?
I don’t remember having this much trouble last year when I bought my 3GS but this was certainly what I would label an “ordeal” … if there ever were such a thing.
It’s just a preorder, right? How bad could it be? That bad.
If there’s one thing the internet car world has been patiently waiting for in the past few years, it is the the Toyota FT-86. The design was practically an instant classic. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone that really didn’t like it (though they are out there). The promise of a fairly affordable, fun, good-looking, rear wheel drive coupe was salivating… it would just take time. I honestly can’t remember how far back the [...]
I don’t care what friends of my friends think. I clicked “like” on something one of my friends posted yesterday. Throughout the day I continued to be notified of new “notifications” that someone had commented or liked the thing that I liked. These were people I do not know, have no reason to know, and do not care what they are doing. I don’t want to know if 500 other people “like” what I just [...]
