All I ask from a company is replace or refund for a product that is bad. Make the process quick and easy. I recently had my Kindle's USB cable start cracking and literally crumbling apart. The plastic casing for the cable was very cheap, yo

It's Steve Jobs. He once went to a town hall meeting, just to tell them Apple has been in the city for so and so years, and how he's expanding the HQ and how things were going. That's all he wanted to say, nothing to complain about, but jus

It's funny sometimes people think the internet is so big, no one will notice, when actually its the other way around. Not only does the internet do a good job of exposing things, it catalogs everything, so it's hard for you to just remove s

I've read into this story before and this guy is a scumbag. The really sad part in all of this is that he's pulling another scam by trying to make it seem like he's the victim and the FTC is destroying small businesses.
