Commented on Games are recession-proof earners?
The reality is that by becoming more "social" games have actually become less social. Anyone with a PS3 or 360 will have noticed that there are dramatically fewer games which you can actually play locally. There are huge numbers of...
Commented on Apple discontinues 160GB iPod Classic: 120GB the only model now
I have a 5th gen 60 gig iPod from Nov 2005 and with the use I've given it I'm kind of expecting it to go anytime in the next 6-12 months. When I heard about this, I got upset.My 40...
Commented on Ford dealership uses bigoted radio ads to sell cars
I'd love to go in and ask if an atheist gets the same mileage as a Christian. I'm assuming Catholics get worse mileage than Protestants, what with all the guilt weighing them down and all....
Commented on Vintage aviation hostess photos
I won't lie, as uncomfortable as those boots may be, as a passenger it'd be a lot harder to stay irritable on a flight because of the cramped seats or horrible in-flight movie with those stewardesses....
Commented on Coupon queen spends $10/week on family groceries
The one thing I wanted to know is how many hours per week (or even per day) she spends on this to save this money. What people often overlook is that all our time is valuable. If you spend 1...
Commented on Report: some recent iPods won't work with iTunes video rentals
How to solve: 1. Rent DVD. 2. Rip. 3. Put on 5th Gen iPod. 4. Give Apple finger. 5. Move on....
Commented on 500 Euro notes not welcome here
I worked in retail for about 5 years in Toronto, where there was always the possibility for counterfeit bills. Hardly anyone knew -any- of the ways to check a bill. Some thought you had to have a UV light, but...
Commented on Is Comcast really blocking P2P? EFF + SF Weekly conclude: yeah.
@ #12: I had this happen to a friend with Rogers last year. She was using Limewire and Azureus, and they put her service on hold and notified by phone. They told her if it "happened again" they'd cancel her...
Commented on Apple cripples debugging tool to keep iTunes DRM safe
I think someone giving up on Macs over this is a little harsh. If you're at all tech-savvy and bought any DRM-ridden tracks/videos from iTunes then you get what you deserve. Otherwise it's like suing McDonald's for coffee being too...
Commented on Midwest airlines to passenger who was screwed over and shouted at: we did nothing wrong and owe you nothing
A lot of people didn't read the letter. - An exit row is not an aisle seat, but the row in which the emergency exits are located. These rows have superior leg room compared to other rows. This can be...
Commented on How Circuit City Committed Suicide
I've found salespeople (at least in terms of computers, electronics, cars) essentially obsolete ever since I first got internet in '96. Something like this at Circuit City wouldn't have any effect on how I go about purchases. In fact, something...
Commented on Steve Jobs pitching "premium," iPod-loadable DVDs
It burns all the same....
Commented on P2P users buy more music -- Canadian govt study
Its all about consumer freedom and how threatening it is to corporations. I just picked up Saul Williams' latest album last week. I voluntarily paid $5 for a legal download. This is an artist that I found out about through...

Littlemissknowitall commented on Coupon queen spends $10/week on family groceries
Wow! A lot of judgment going on over here! 1. Coupon queens save on average $600 a month (or more) for 5 hours of work a week. I'm glad so many of you can afford to blow $600 a month. Many of us can't--or would rather have the $600 for ourselves. I also eat almost all name-brand products. 2. Many, many websites (including my own) put together the deals for you. You don't have to spend so much time if someone else does the footwork! 3. The myth that there are no coupons for healthy foods lives. I regularly buy...

I can vouch for this... HMV in the UK has reduced drastically the footage allocated to Music CDs and DVDs, and expanded the space for Console games... they must know something based on their sales figures over the past few months....
margretli commented on Games are recession-proof earners?
I am sooo happy to see these kind of reports. I have been playing video and computer games since when I was a tiny little girl. We were the first family on our block (this was China in the 80's) to own a coloured TV and a video game console. The entire family had a blast. It was beyond luxury for us. Nowadays, I some time get the odd comment from friends telling me to "get out more often", and I tell them, I will if you are going to pay for all the expenses. We don't own a car,...
wolfiesma commented on Games are recession-proof earners?
MargretLi, Vancouver is the coolest city. You should get out more. Just kidding. I played video games as a little girl, too, but at some point got the idea that it was more for boys. Obviously, I missed out on a lot. I'm going to try to get up to speed, though, as we prepare for the long lean winter ahead......
think_about_this commented on Coupon queen spends $10/week on family groceries
Most stores I know will NOT DOUBLE $1.00 coupons. So I have no idea where this person is shopping, but it is NOT at Price Chopper, Wal-Mart's, Stop and Shop or Shop Rite which are in my area. So forget about the $1.00 coupons. The mfg. knows most stores will not double these, some will not even take them. The clerk will say "Oh there is a .99 cent limit". So you get to check out and look like a dope putting back items. Next if you have constant burping, and a slight cough a lot of time... it could...
