What the hell is wrong with Microsoft?

I’ve never really understood the devotion of die-hard Apple fanatics. You know the type: the ones who have owned all four versions of the iPhone, the ones who think the Apple TV was a good idea, the ones who will argue with a straight face that Aperture can be just as good as Photoshop. I’ve often thought [...]
I no longer fear hell, for I have dealt with Xbox support
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games, Rants
I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Elite, partially to relieve the burden of my first-gen 360′s crowded hard drive, and partially to serve as a Media Center extender for my impending conversion to a Media Center DVR. And I was quite happy to have a brand new controller, one where the joysticks centered properly and [...]

Internet problems. Not again. Not after everything I went through before, I thought. The internet was down, all right. The tubes to my house must have been clogged.

And my Time Warner connection [...]

My WONDERFUL and RELIABLE web host seemed to have temporarily misplaced my database earlier today, so the site was inaccessible for a few hours. Sadly, the site’s downtime has been shorter than my wait on hold with technical support. On a COMPLETELY UNRELATED note, does anyone know of any good, cheap webhosts? No reason. Just curious.
Best customer service not involving nudity

So I recently ordered a Dash Express GPS receiver from Amazon, and I was excited enough to shell out for next-day shipping (okay, I did the free trial of Amazon Prime, so it was only four bucks…but still!). I placed the order in the middle of the day on Wednesday, so I was saddened and [...]
