Facebook Stocks Tumble: Cue Unfriending Quips
I’m not usually the go-to guy to talk about the stock market, but allow me to quietly guffaw at Facebook’s disastrous second day on Monday as the newly-public company’s stock lost 10.99 percent of its price at the end of trading on Friday. Making matters worse, Friday’s closing price was reportedly artificially pumped up by […]
Verizon Says You Can Keep Unlimited Data By Paying Full Retail Price
That’s right. Verizon will let you keep your unlimited data, but only if you purchase phones for their full retail prices.

Smaller iPads? Larger iPhones? What Gives?
We ususally avoid tackling rumors, but when the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and Bloomberg are all talking about it, then it’s officially time to weigh in.

Does Verizon’s Decision Mean My Next Upgrade Will Lose Unlimited LTE?
Verizon has finally put the nail in the coffin. Customers upgrading to LTE smartphones with grandfathered unlimited data will be forced to switch to a new tiered data plan after Verizon begins offering its shared tiered data plans this summer. Even though this isn’t exactly a surprising move by any means, this leaves Sprint as […]
Review: The 1-BUD Headphone Is Music To My Ear
I’m deaf in my left ear. I was born with no inner eardrum on my left side, and I’ve had a few constructive surgeries when I was younger to create the look of a left ear because I was born without the outer appearance on that side too. In the last few years, I’ve also […]
