So I’ve had my first BAD experience with Apple and the iPad and perhaps I’m a bit premature but there obviously needs to be a better solution to any problem with apps.  I recently purchased an app and it won’t run on iPad 2 although the App Store CLEARLY states that it is iPad compatible.  …

Free Vacation With Loan? Let’s Do The Math!
I got an offer when I signed into my bank account the other day. It was for a “free” vacation with a loan of $25,000 or more so intrigued I called up the bank about the offer. Essentially, it is a 3 night stay at any hotel in the United States (restrictions apply) for taking…
It’s Hard To Give Away $1,500
Regular readers know that I am no big fan of charities.  The few times I have given money I ended up regretting as these charities squander my money with mass mailing for just more requests for more money….so I finally decided to try to give money directly away to people that I knew would have…

Are You The Digital Janitor In Your Home?
Women have long complained of being put in a position of being the “maid” in the family. You know, lifting all those “heavy” dirty clothes putting them in a box called a washing machine, pushing a button and then transferring them to a drier and pushing another button…. Well I think men can now officially…
