I realize it has been a while since my last post and the only excuse I have is this: writing of topics other than fashion, politics, and pop music requires thought, and my intellectual stamina is at an all time low.

The amount of technological advancement coming from the minds of Google employees is

For most hacker types, including myself, NEC is a name that has been associated with quality for quite some time. But a recent experience with NEC tech support has me questioning their integrity, and may foreshadow a drop in loyalty from computer professionals. The ability to deliver a reputable product or service is what makes the CEO a million (or billion) dollar asset. The inability to

As of late, Google has taken a lot of heat over minor glitches in its Gmail service.

All the major news organizations would love to have you believe that the content they give birth to is factual, researched and void of opinion. As such, we would all like to think that the news media has a set of standards that prevents them from crossing into unethical territory.

If you are the type of person that is constantly looking for a way to con millions of dollars from thousands of reputable and ethical businesses, consider modeling your methods after Richard Gingras, Founder Yahoo! will be receiving an unknown percentage of revenue for their participation in this scam.
