In the event somebody may have noted this already, Sony has decided to cancel the release to all theaters this afternoon. It was not the theater chains' decision. I guess Sony Entertainment et al didn't want to risk seeing any of the threats come to fruition. Here are some links for your perusal: http://twitchy.com/2014/12/17/... http://www.theblaze.com/storie... Meanwhile, there may be an idea of who is behind the breach and release: http://www.theblaze.com/storie...

Who prints anymore? How about people who work outside the office or from home in the field, whether they are sitting in a movie theater having to write down the trailers, or have to visit several retailers where the signature is necessary. Maybe a person who audits a large electronics store and the audit paperwork exceeds 40 pages? Just a few examples and if people didn't print anymore because it is 2011 maybe you need to convince HP, Lexmark, Brother, Canon to stop making the devices and let Office Max and Staples know they are wasting floor space with their print services because printing is a thing of the past.

Been with TMo for a few years now and I still have the plan I started with. 1000 anytime minutes for $39.99, the unlimited data for $24.99 and 400 texts for $5. So why would I want to go with somebody else? I was in an AT&T store to see what they offer and the lowest price is still over $90. When I told the rep what I am paying he said "That is what causes companies to be bought up because they aren't making any money". Nah, I think it is more greed than wanting to give their hostages .. er, customers a better service experience.

Actually they could just write a check to the treasury if they feel that strongly about it. Why should they push for the tax and your other suggestions? It is their money, they earned and what they choose to do with it is their business. As far as I can tell, whether it is Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Warren Buffet, their personal wealth has no bearing on my life. And by the way, if the government did get the money from raising the top 1% earners taxes, are you so sure those funds would even "help out the country that allowed them to make their fortunes"? And what exactly is their "fair share"? They should already be paying more taxes than you or me.

The remaining devices were almost all served by downloading drivers from Windows Update Has anyone, in the history of humanity, ever gotten that to work? Are you serious? You've never seen an updated driver package on Windows Update? Maybe he did not notice the Custom button and always uses the Express install for Windows Updates. If you select custom, it shows hardware/drivers and in some cases other software updates not part of the typical security updates released monthly.

This is somewhat off topic, but I was just having a conversation with someone who is about to buy a Mac. I was against it and an argument started. I said there were too few people supporting the Mac. He responded, "When was the last time you heard of a virus on a Mac?" And I said "See, even people who write viruses don't support Macs."
