It’s no surprise that the pirating of Windows 7 is just so obsessive right now. Microsoft Vista was such a disastrous release. Microsoft release Vista thinking it would be the answer to XP and it was just the opposite.

I wouldn’t really buy a Windows 7 Key from EBay and I wouldn’t buy a copy Windows 7 before it’s release date. And Reuters is already reporting China has Windows 7 on the shelves for close to $3.

The problem that’s pointed out in that article is the same as the issue that’s here. Windows 7 is too damn expensive and if people can’t buy it; they are going to pirate it. Where’s there’s a need, there’s a supplier and where there’s a supplier… there are crooks and opportunists.

I’ve Verizon for my phone service and I was dealing with an issue with a lost phone yesterday and I called Verizon to report a lost phone [I found it later], but as I was talking with the associate about the lost phone I asked about when Verizon  was going to get the iPhone.

Surprisingly the associate said, ‘…Verizon is not selling the iPhones yet, but you can add them to your plan and use them.’ – oh this was juicy news.

So while Verizon is not selling them, they can add them to your plan, and use them. I’m looking for some used iPhones now. It’s time to start searching up Ebay.

I don’t have anymore than this, but it’s interesting…

Do you have a HDMI cable or need one?

When I picked up my new TV I didn’t know much about the HDMI cables, and depending where your going to get your HDMI cables, they can be expensive.

What I found was they don’t have to be expensive.

My story is that I got my TV and then realized I needed a HDMI cable [about 10’] to get to my TV the way I wanted. So the one I had was too short.

I went online to search for prices, the HDMI’s on EBAY were like $1.99 with FREE shipping, but I needed it now. I really didn’t want to wait a week. So, I made an executive decision; go get one. How bad could it be?!

It was close to 9pm and I decide to make a small jump to RADIOSHACK [you’ve got questions, we have answers people].  I hopped in the car drove over there cause it was the closest to me; I really knew better, but I was really hoping for a good result. I was setting myself up for a disappointment.
