Just my Thoughts

If you are downloading stuff you wouldn’t have bought in the first place, according to economist Karen Croxson, you are probably doing the company that owns the product a big favor. You, Mr ‘Good’ Pirate, are telling your friends, adding to the media ‘buzz’ and driving up sales.

I’ve bought a lot more stuff because I could download it and try it first. Come on, there is way too many movies, games, software and music out there to just buy stuff blindly, or with a pitiful trial or demo. I bought the Orange Box because I could try it first.

I would love for artists to hand out 128kb music. Then, sell the 320kb version. I download crappy versions of music now, decide if I like it, then go buy off Beatport or something similar. I’ve learned about more artists downloading random songs from people’s folders than I ever did browsing through websites.

“To hear her tell it, she was lucky to escape with her life, landing in a hail of sniper fire. She said they were forced to cut short the greeting ceremony at the airport and, ‘run with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.’ But apparently there was time to stop and visit at the airport with an 8-year-old girl…”

I’m surprised people still trust politicians from McCain’s lobbyist connections and campaign spending hypocrisy to clinton’s (I’m not going to dignify capitalizing her name) brave bout with fictional snipers, and Obama’s shady dealings with Rezko, how can we expect “change” when they all lie and a clean record is not to be found. At least Obama can put a speech together and make sense with it. “Fool me once …. shame on you.. you fool me once you can’t get fooled again.”- president bush. The forefathers are rolling in their graves.

Bricsfund hyip program is still paying but with some negative posts on hyip forums people will start asking “when will bricsfund scam?”.

Yes, bricsfund is currently still paying all members. However I’m not sure they will stay longer.
It’s just the origin of hyip game, where every program will have to come to an end. If you want to put your money here, make sure you only invest at the amount you can afford to lose. Hyip is a very dangerous field IMO.

Lejtrans hyip investment program has a very excellent performance so far. However it has to face the 150 days returned principal in the near future. Will Lejtrans scam their members to avoid paying those big investment money? Or will Lejtrans keep paying longer?

A good warning for all hyip investors who want to invest their money on Lejtrans hyip program. While it’s true that Lejtrans has been very good so far, there’s no guarantee that they will keep paying their members. Looking at their 150 days returned principal, this might be a warning to all of investors. Remember the old scam minvestment program.

Sony is finally seeing the error of its ways, but instead of removing the crapware altogether, Sony has the nerve to offer a $50 “Fresh Start” option, which “scrubs” the machine clean before shipping it your way. At the moment you can only configure the TZ2000 crapware-free, but hopefully Sony will be rolling out the choice to the rest of its laptop

I’m not supporting sony or anything, but bundeling crapware with the laptop keeps the prices down, since crapware companies pay sony to include them. What Sony should have done, is have no crapware as the default, and an option to include crapware for a $50 dollar discount. If they had spun it this way, I’m sure people would have been cheering instead of hating.
