Why Palm and Apple Annoy Me
March 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Business Practices, Gadgets
I’ve got the Palm Treo 755p that I use on Sprint’s network. Perhaps you’ve seen me write about it in a previous post here. Sprint’s network is nice and fast and I’ve had no problems with it. I’d love to stay on with them. I also love my Treo. I’ve got loads of apps on [...]

March 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Technology, Web Services, Websites

March 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Mergers/Acquisitions, Other
Returning from a trip recently I had the joys of experiencing Delta Airline’s ridiculous TV/movie viewing program. Here’s what you get…a screen on the headrest in front of you that allows you to choose from a number of “free” TV shows or pay $5 for a movie. Why do I have the word “free” in [...]
