Last year they closed the loophole for serious* ebay sellers by having paypal issue 1099-K's, large** internet retailers will now be paying state sales tax. I can see where implementing this will be costly to the retailers and their customers. "WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate sided with...

If so, then you'll love this trailer (Yes, it's a real movie,and it's a hoot!)

That Motorola modem/router I ordered yesterday showed up at my door about 12:00 today. So, down I went. I yanked out all my old stuff and connected my new stuff. With only one piece, it's a lot less crowded down there. Totaltime: About 1/2 hour and most of that was neatening up the wiring...

Let’s get this out of the way first: It’s a Sam Raimi Movie. You either “get him” or you don’t. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move on. It copies the format of the original (sequel?) in that it follows the original’s cinema graphic tricks to set the tone and endear itself to the fans of...

I just loved that headline and had to share it with y'all. "Eyes hooked up to the tail can help blinded tadpoles see, researchers say. These findings could help guide therapies involving natural or artificial implants, scientists added. A major roadblock when it comes totreating blindness and...

"PHILADELPHIA — Beer lovers across the U.S. have accused Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands, in class-action suits seeking millions in damages. The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the...

"Next time you go to the store, you may see a sign that tells you that you will be charged a fee if you use a credit card. That fee can be anywhere from 1.5 percent to 4 percent of your purchase. These checkout fees became a reality Sunday." Read more: Credit card swipe fees: What you...

I found this on Facebook. It pretty much sums it up in my book. Rita loved it. Me, not so much. I gotta say, Ann Hathaway can really belt out a song, though and if it wasn't for Sascha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter it would have been a total dirge in my book.

You ain't gonna believe this I guess it's for those times when ya really feel like a stiff one.

I hope this doesn't cross the political line but it lands smack dab in the middle of the "HeLLO, McFly. *knock knock* ...Is anbody home" area. No snarky comment on this one. You've simply got to read it to believe it. Straight from the "You've GOT to be kidding me" file. ...and you...

"LONDON (AP) — Gerry Anderson, puppetry pioneer and British creator of the sci-fi hit “Thunderbirds” TV show, has died. He was 83." Linky to full article. Personally, I remember his "Supercar" more than "Thunderbirds".

I've had the music since it came out on vinyl in '67 but, for some reason, the movie itself was never made available over here. I've been curious to see it ever since then. Well, PBS just showed a "restored" version on PBS' Great Performances series. Actually, they broadcast it yesterday...

Deja vu all over again?

"A perpetual pastrami war has, at last, ended. The Stage Deli on Seventh Avenue, known for its overstuffed sandwiches, closed after 75 years. For generations, two venerable Seventh Avenue establishments, the Stage Deli and the Carnegie Deli, battled implacably for customers, newspaper...

I posted about a year ago asking about this and came up fairly dry. I put it in the "inactive" file in y head and just went about life as normal. Well, I was killing time WalMarts electronic gadgets section while Mrs W was shopping and my eye caught a candy apple red* thing in a blister pack...

I don't know wose more stoopid, the mayor or the constituients... "Angry residents pelted utility crews with eggs as they tried to restore power in Bridgeport, Conn., after the mayor claimed the local power company had "shortchanged" the state's largest city as it tries to recover from...

Well, it's 12:30 pm Tuesday. We have power. Never lost it aside from a few blink outs, just enough to be annoying. However, all our communication is via Comcast (TV, internet, and phone) and that went down sometime during the night and is still down. The only way I could send this is that...

If this doesn't do it, nothing will

I thought it would be a replacement for their long running "Smallville" but it seems more like a take-off on Christopher Nolan's dark Batman trilogy. No, it's not a bright and optimistic origin story like Smallville but it does have a lot of action and an intriguing back story, which will...
