I'd be pretty pissed off if I was Michael Dell, and had spent big money on OS licensing and advertising my products as being designed for using Windows, only to have Microsoft turn around and stab me in the back by telling all my PC customers that t…

Microsoft and PC people attacking the Mac for costing too much. That's a novel approach. No doubt they went that way because "easy to use" and "desirable" were already taken. Edit: just watched the ad with "Lauren" shopping for the sub-$100…

I think it's funny that posters here are using computers and the internet --all powered by greenhouse gas-producing utilities-- to debate the value (or lack thereof) of reducing plastic bag distribution. If you were serious about wanting to provi…

I'd gladly pay extra for every song I buy, even up to $1.50 or more, if I could somehow "block" artists I don't care to see any notice of or have their titles clutter my searches. I mean really, between the 40 some odd emails I get each week from…
