Saturday Night Live, Funny?

We DVR'ed Peyton Manning on SNL last night. He was pretty entertaining. But, Weekend Update did a joke that I really liked, so I share it here.

A cat in Long Island recently received the first total hip replacement for a feline. This, of course, was about $3000 more than the typical total cat replacement.

Hot Or Not

Remember Hot or Not? I am sure you do. My favorite thing to do there was vote 1 for everyone. Its mean, I know, but who cares!

Well, this is a little different. Fetcho, get your systems up!

Your Choice in Tech News

I am just curious what people prefer, so please respond with your favorite site for tech news.

Me personally, it is close between Gizmodo and Engadget. I have read Engadget longer, but like the spins and occasional off-the-wall stories of Gizmodo.

Please, share your insight, even if I don't know you!

I Usually Don't Talk About This, But...

People are acting crazy. I just want to say a couple things, and move on.

An interesting read.

Look. Ask yourself this. How did you feel at the beginning of the war? I believe it was necessary. I have great friends who have served, and I thank them for their service. Unfortunately, things have not gone well, but that doesn't change the fact that we needed to be there. What that does mean is our government has failed us.

So, how do we remedy this? Well, the government/big business way is to sit around and point fingers. We all know, this gets you nowhere quickly. When you point your finger at someone else, you are pointing three fingers back at yourself. It is very easy for people to sit and complain, but since they have a right to do so, let them. Can we not find anyone, anywhere that is smart enough to figure out what to do next? Congress doesn't have a clue (even though we were led to believe they did). What do YOU think can be done to help our fellow man?

Yes, as of today, my last school loan reads the following status:

"Paid in Full"

I am free! It's been almost seven years, but I am done.

Best Buy or OK Buy

This story is interesting. As we all know by now, Best Buy sometimes has different (lower) prices on their website than the intranet site you can view in the store. And what response do you get when you ask for the lower price???

We don't match our online store prices.

I assumed this was correct, but I always asked anyway; you know, just in case I could get the lower price. But, now that I see that "company policy is to always offer customers the lowest quoted price". I think this could be a big deal. Best Buy claims that they have dropped the ball when it comes to training employees to give us, the consumers, the lowest Best Buy price. But, considering that all of their employees always say the same thing, this has got to be what they are told to say! We will see as this unfolds.

Considering stories like this, could Best Buy be hurting as well in the near future?
