Is there a bank on the planet that understands how to do business?

Posted on by
Netbank SUCKS. If you are even remotely contemplating opening an account with them - DON'T!!!!!!!!!! As previously mentioned here, in the past year they've managed to lose $4000 in deposits (yes, they managed to find them a few days later, but it cost me 12 hours of my life), and now this: I put in a wire transfer request yesterday morning at 07:44. At 15:00 yesterday, I called to see why it hadn't gone through. I was told "Yeah, we haven't worked on that yet. You need to verify the information." From Read more [...]

My God, Hillary Rosen, you’ve got your head in the sand!!

The Huffington Post | The Blog Holy crap, are you kididng me? Hillary Rosen bitching about lack of interoperability in the iPod? That is a huge turnaround from what I thought she'd be saying. It would seem to me (as she's spent a lot of years trying to tell me that digital music piracy is going to rob me of hearing the next Chrisbritneytina AguiJessica Simpspears) that she'd be all about something that locks you into using your own CD's or music you purchase from iTunes.

Netbank is about this || close to losing my business.

I've been a loyal Netbank customer for about 4 years now. In that time, I've done nothing but sing their praises to everyone who had listen. It's a great setup for me - I use direct deposit about 99% of the time. Essentially, my only beef has been that if you want to deposit cash, you have to buy a money order and mail it in for deposit. In the past three weeks, however, they've gotten precariously close to me shopping my money to a new location. Issues. Introduction of a new service called QuickPost. Read more [...]

HDTV is the shiznit…sort of

Just got my shiny new HD box from Charter. I get about 6 channels, including HBO, Showtime and Fox. The sound is phenom and the picture is awesome. Wish they had more channels, and wish my TV would actually take a 1080i signal. As it is, I’m having to use SVid instead of Component Vid.

Dear record companies and Musicmatch

Posted on by
Just wanted to let you know what I think of the progress of your crusade to bring music to the masses in digital format. I know you’re dying to get it done, since you have so much music that you think we should hear. So, I tried out MusicMatch Jukebox’s Download service. Pretty nifty, actually. The catalog looks pretty huge, and I was even able to find an album that Tower couldn’t get for me. That is pretty cool. And, it only cost $9.99. Bravo, boys. That’s the price point I’m looking Read more [...]
