My family buys a lot of stuff from Amazon. We definitely get our value out of prime many times over. Recently though we had three items we had to return. In all honesty I think it was the first time we have ever had to return something to Amazon which is incredible in it's own right. My wife had two
Great tech wrap up tonight. We are fast approaching our 10 year anniversary of doing this show. Be sure to send in your comments about the most memorable moments you have had listening to this show.

Imagine if the government had bailed out the horse-drawn carriage business in 1910. How much longer would it have been before the personal transportation industry advanced to the point that everyone could have an automobile?

With the demise of Justin.TV, so went the channel that streamed (albeit, probably illegally) Mystery Science Theater 3k 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Well, chin up fellow fans of the Satellite of Love and all it's crew, you can now watch the show over on Vimeo! The folks at MST3K and Vimeo have managed to get 80

It follows young Jim Gordon and the Gotham PD around to solve crimes. Another cop procedural show, just what we need. I have this feeling
In a recent Progress Report, Yahoo announced that it will be retiring a few of their products. The one that is getting the most attention is the Yahoo Directory. Is it strange that I feel nostalgia for a piece of the internet that I haven't actually used in years? Yahoo Directory is something I remember from when I was in
I was up at midnight, PST to preorder my iPhone 6 from the Verizon Wireless site. I had zero problems getting through and getting it ordered. I was already done and back to reading Facebook when I see Robert Scoble complaining that he can't get anywhere on the Apple site. Apparently everyone thought that was the only place to go
By now you've probably at least heard about Ello. It's the new "Anti-Facebook" social network. No ads, no name policies and well, no privacy either. The simple platform is still in beta but over the past few days, the site has exploded, as users hand out invites to pretty much everyone. I signed up about a 16 days ago and
