Apple’s Rebate Site … Powered By Microsoft
I was amused to note that in trying to submit a rebate for some new Apple equipment I bought, an error message came up clearly indicating that the site is running on a Microsoft .NET server. The site is most … Continue reading

Mazdas Versus Hummer
This is Bad Behavior. It’s dangerous, inconsiderate, and could have provoked a serious road-rage incident. Do NOT try this at home especially if your state has lax gun laws. But I am laughing my ass off and applauding these guys; … Continue reading
