Trading at the bank is very common with cars, boats, etc. Banks are actually setup to quickly wire funds securely from one account to another. I buy/sell all my used vehicles this way.

Interesting article dicked up by Giz. I guess Giz is one of the few mainstream places people can be openly bigoted in their work. This site is going from interesting and entertaining articles to rants, highly biased articles, off topic stores and general dickishness.

Neither is worth the effort if a person isn't going to use the skill immediately and reinforce the knowledge. As for coding only a very small percentage of people who actually learn the skill will ever make any money doing it. Good devs make a lot of money but few people even after spending countless hours working in…

One point left out is that Big Refrigerator did not have a national security anchor tied to it. If we don't manage this issue as quickly as possible not only will we keep funding countries like Iran but we will eventually launch into war likely world war so American's don't have to pay 10 bucks a gallon. Switching to…

Unification of applications is coming likely with HTML5 which means the platform won't matter much so long as it supports a common platform. Oddly it will likely be the adoption of the tablet that ultimately moves us to the browser.

Herman Miller Aerons when purchased with the full 10 year warranty are a good value once the numbers are crunched. At $800 new the chair is guaranteed to work up to 10 years after purchase. That means the chair costs about $80 per year, under $7 per month and about 30 cents per business day to use. $800 simply isn't…

Listening to a person who has never gone through being obese is like a parent listening to someone who never had kids dispensing advice or a bachelor give marriage advice. It is easy to tell someone how to discipline their kid when that person doesn't understand the complexities of a situation. There is rarely a…

BBS systems in the 80s and 90s used NetMail and FidoNet to manage email. BBS systems did not need TCP or the internet to function.

Netflix was often a go to source for me before I cancelled my account due to their raising prices. The do have a very good search unlike RT, easy to use, ad free and did a decent job of picking movies I might want to see. Too bad a user must have a paid account to access their movie database as I liked its simple…

Depends on the family situation. Most couples in America today both work and getting two jobs in a new area is often difficult so often one spouse may have to step back from their career to keep another ones stable job. Also the cost of moving can be staggering and not feasible. I do agree that if a person cannot find…

First you guys hate on the Google, now you hate on the KCups. You are really making it difficult for me to remain a fan. While not as cheap as a DIY home solution it is still much cheaper than a coffee from say StarBucks and certainly one of the most convenient solutions. Also, there are several flavors that do coffee…

There would be nothing left of their military if the Iranians picked that fight. We love to fight in this country and while land invasions against guerrillas is generally a bad idea, corralling a small fixed military force is something we could do easily. Their entire "fleet" consists of a couple dozen older vessels…

Is this where we are today complaining about TNA at a trade show over the zillion real problems in the tech world? If you want to write a multi-paragraph article about exploitation how about a series on real exploitation such as the poor labor practices by many of these tech companies.

When Google put the + in they started screwing up a great search engine. They had to remove the + from searches forcing us into "" and now they start messing the with results coming back.

Enterprise android business class smart phones... there is a decent sized market and they already have the name brand. The problem with android in business is that it is difficult to find a Dell or HP grade delivery system. Blackberry already has it and could leverage it. Port their look and feel into apps, build a…

I hope you don't get paid for articles like these. Poor comparisons, irrelevant and despite trying to be clever has nearly the opposite effect. Romney an iPhone... ridiculous. Nobody is interested in Romney. He is Google TV or an HP tablet at best. Newt = ICS... more ridiculous. ICS is a powerful easy to use OS. Newt…

It is not a big change compared to Y2K. Subtracting 00 from 99 and getting a negative number is a much bigger change than DayofWeek, LastMonth, etc. Y2K also required old indexed file systems to expand a 2 digit date to a four digit one. That required huge file conversions. Now most systems can have a format change…

If your wife works for VZW, it is pretty foolish to use another carrier. She gets half off a VZW service contract and it works with the family plans as well. Under her account all 2 year contracts are also only one year. So everyone on the plan gets a new phone every year if they want. We have three phones on ours two…

The price of keeping the grandfathered unlimited data is no hotspot. So you don't have to give up your unlimited minutes/data on the phone but you won't be able to keep the Verizon hotspot with unlimited data after an upgrade.
