Greedy Google Attacked By Microsoft

Microsoft is trying to reveal Google to the world as a greedy, agenda filled, intensely profit orientated holiday shopping guide in its latest attempt to divert more traffic to its Bing search engine.  But in reality, this is actually true.

Top Reasons To Return Your iPad

A Windows Lovers Guide:  “”Top Reasons To Return My iPad” 1- The edges are too smooth and curvy.

Android: Is It Too Hard To Use?

In just three years, Android has done nicely killing the smartphone competition.  But if Android is this dominant with respect to market share, why did Apple’s iOS powered devices destroy Android when it came to Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping?

Why Is Google’s Home Page So Basic And Simple?

Did you ever wonder why Google’s home page is so basic?  In fact, it initially was simpler yet and didn’t include a “submit” button to initiate the search!  To search, after adding text into the search box, the user would need to strike the enter key.  I was almost ready to call Ripley on that […]

New York State – Lap Dances Are Taxable!

A New York State court has ruled the sales tax man can get his share of lap dances at men’s clubs. In a 4-3 decision, the court rejected an Albany-area strip joint’s claim that it should be considered exempt from sales tax because its X-rated shows constitute a “dramatic or musical arts performance.” The decision […]
