Why Apple TV Movie Rentals Are Broken

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

As a proud and mostly satisfied owner of an Apple TV, I was pretty excited about being able to order movie rentals directly through my Apple TV. It’s like having cable on demand without actually having to pay a monthly fee for cable. The system is pretty simple to use and relatively inexpensive. Movies run [...]

Perfect Example of Why the Clintons Piss Me Off, or, Why Her Spin Doesn’t Make Sense

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

“We keep talking as if it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter that Obama gets 92 percent of the black vote, because since he only got 35 percent of the white vote, he’s in trouble,” Clyburn said. “Well, Hillary Clinton only got 8 percent of the black vote. . . . It’s almost saying black people [...]

Wedding Photog Sued for Sucking

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Actually, he was sued for breach of contract AND producing craptastic work. Apparently he misrepresented his skill set, didn’t bring an assistant, and generally dogged the whole thing.
