I guess the Portable Media Center is dead or dying?

I love my PMC . It provides video (movies, television, and DVDs), music and audio (in a wide variety of formats), and pictures and photos. The iPod only offers audio. So, the news of Microsoft releasing an iPod competitor by Christmas is a bit confusing. I own the Creative Zen PMC. A quick look on Creative...

On the phone with Cingular again today.

I feel like a bulldog on this issue. “Amanda” promised to call me back today to get this issue fixed. No call. So, I decided to call back. I have yet another Cingular rep on the phone who is now “checking into it”. He saw that Amanda promised to call me back in their computer...

Cingular still won't give my phone back

What's next?

After my journey down the cellular-switch road these past few months, I’m convinced that cellular companies aren’t going to last. It’s all a big scam. It’s all snake oil. There simply hasn’t been any good service for any type of phone since the gov’t stepped in and...

Cingular takes the cake -- and wants YOU to pay for it

After spending a couple months trying to get a refund for Cingular’s ugly service, I chatted with the “manager”, Evelyn Malone today. She told me that even though Cingular doesn’t work in my area, they can’t refund my phone hardware cost. Oh, man. I’m going to have...

Windows IT Pro site wants you to pay to see about new security vulnerabilities.

What kind of hooey is this? I received a feed from Windows IT Pro, clicked on it, and then was sent to a page that asked me if I wanted to sign up for paid content!!!!!! Aw, man. Things are out of control. All I wanted to do was see about a new IE vulnerability, and Windows IT Pro gave me the run-around...
