Comment Zappos (Score 1) 344

I suspect Zappos in particular may be having an issue, or maybe it's by design. I was shopping for a specific style of Sperry Top-Siders (hello 1984) for my daughter a few weeks ago. I'm now seeing Zappos banner ads everywhere with that specific shoe embedded in the ad.

Military Personnel Weigh In On Being Taliban In Medal of Honor 171

SSDNINJA writes "This is a feature from gamrFeed that interviews nine US service members about playing as the Taliban in the upcoming Medal of Honor. One soldier states that games like MoH and Call of Duty are 'profiteering from war.' Another says, 'Honestly, I don't really see what the whole fuss is about. It's a game, and just like in Call of Duty, you don't really care about what side you're taking, just as long as you win. I don't think anyone cares if you're part of the Rangers or Spetznaz, as long as you win.' An excellent and interesting read."

I'm on T-Mobile and use an HTC Dash 3G that I just got on Craigslist. A few weeks ago I was traveling all around Pittburgh, on foot for several city blocks. Even though I had my Garmin GPS in the car with me, I was able to use Google Maps (with real GPS turned on) on the Dash and see precisely where I was while on foot. It was accurate down to a few meters. I loved it.

Girl Quits On Dry Erase Board a Hoax 147

suraj.sun writes "It's the same old story: young woman quits, uses dry erase board and series of pictures to let entire office know the boss is a sexist pig, exposes his love of playing FarmVille during work hours." Story seem too good to be true? It probably is, at least according to writer Peter Kafka. Even so, Jay Leno and Good Morning America have already reached out to "Jenny."
