I saw a little blurb on the internet today about

I went to a newly opened Shell station to get a half tank of gas. As soon as my pre-purchased card cleared to begin the transaction, a video monitoring changed from showing a still picture of something you could buy inside to a recent news blurb of local events, followed by a three day forecast of weather in my area, a commercial inviting me to buy Snickers by running inside, finally followed by a Fox sports cast, all timed perfectly from the start of the transaction to the last 30 seconds ...

I am thinking about cancelling my Direct TV because it is just toooooo expensive. Does anyone use any of the "internet TV" websites to download shows or movies? Are they free? If you pay a subscription, have you been ripped off? Thanks in advance ...

Anyone know of any great Internet and TV packages? I pay about $70 now for Internet and basic cable. The basic is not so great, but I really can't afford more than that. Does anyone know of better deals on the same type of thing or better within the same amount? I have cable now and think if I switch to DSL I would also have to get a different modem and router on top of any hook-up fees. Any ideas? ...

My old dinosaur TV died. We always hooked up the computer to the TV to watch movies and TV shows from free online sites. My question is....on the new internet-ready TVs and the Google TVs can you go to any website and watch free movies and shows OR do you have to subscribe to netflix or some other company to watch anything? ...

Anyone used Earthlink cable internet before? AT&T is who I have always used at my previous address but now they don't provide DSL to my new address. Earthlink provides cable internet though. Is Earthlink a good provider? ...

Pretty busy thread down there and I didn't want this info to go to waste. Count former President Bill Clinton among those who are skeptical of the new Obama administration plan to give up Internet oversight authority. At a weekend meeting sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative, the former president talked in detail about why the U.S. should retain oversight over Internet domain names and addresses. “A lot of people … have been trying to take this ...

Did you see that where they said it was unhealthy to sit in the same position for 12 hours???? Isn't that what we do? The poor kid died of a pulmonary embolus and they said how it is unhealthy to sit in the same position for that long! What doctor ever cared about us? I have sat just trying to get a line count for many days even longer than 12 hours. Leg circulation and diabetes? ...

Last night I was watching TV when I discovered that my half my channels no longer worked. I have bundled service (internet, land-line phone, and cable TV), so I called my ISP, and they told me that they have a "new and improved" system now (sounds like Nuance, huh?) and I would now have to rent a box for each TV in my house in order to restore my fave channels. Um, no thanks. I'm not under contract, so I'm going to cancel my service and find alternatives. BTW, I've le ...

I need to switch to a new cable/Internet/phone carrier. Any positive or negative comments about CenturyLink or Xfinity/Comcast? Thank you in advance. ...

Really - these dirty tricks at the end of the political campaign are SO clumsy that they insult our intelligence. Wikileaks say they have activated a "contingency plan" prepared for just such an eventuality. It will be interesting to see what that might be. ...

will have wholly ceded over control of the Internet to UNIDO, (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). When it is far too late for anyone to do anything about it, history will someday record that Barack Hussein Obama hijacked public access to the Internet before leaving office. Why he decided to hand over control of the Internet, to an unknown conglomerate of “international stakeholders—held by the United States for all 18 years of ICANN existence—five weeks before ...

I was wondering if anyone here has U-verse with AT&T and if so have you had any problems with it. My internet provider keeps going up, and down and up and this month it is $20 more than last month for what reason? I have satellite television and like that now- used to have years ago and it was not that good so with the Uverse they also offer satellite at a reasonable rate to start. Any thoughts? ...

If you feel too much of your time gets sucked up by the Internet - use a kitchen timer, set it for however long you want to be on the Internet per day, and stick to it. I am doing this French online learning course, and I always look over at the timer, because I want to get my time in with my French. It's a big help. In fact, a kitchen timer is a big help with any amorphous task, writing essays, painting, reading. Although the one I have is noisy (tick, tick), so I kind of bur ...

My, my. Turns out Correa wants Hillary to win this election yet in his statement, he said it was because he respects other nations' sovereignty and doesn't interfere or support any candidate in foreign elections.

The US government, much to the chagrin of Senator Ted Cruz, is set to officially relinquish the Department of Commerce's oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) as of tomorrow night at midnight. ICANN is a California nonprofit that has supervised website domains since 1998, essentially under subcontract from the Commerce Department. Under the Obama transition plan oversight by the U.S. Commerce Department would end and be replaced by a multi-stakeholder ...

An agreement that some campaigners have called the "biggest global threat to the internet" has just been signed, potentially bringing huge new restrictions on what people can do with their computers. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is the conclusion of five years of negotiations, and will cover 40% of the world's economy. Its claimed purpose is to create a unified economic bloc so that companies and businesses can trade more easily — but it also puts many of the central principles of th ...

This is irreversible." On Wednesday’s “Sean Hannity Show,” FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai (R) stated that the plan to “essentially give up the US oversight role…of the Internet” to ICANN is something that should worry anyone who cherishes “free expression, and free speech rights generally,” and could potentially cede oversight of the Internet to “foreign governments who might not share our values.” He further stated that such a move is “irreversible.” Pai said, “This ...

A while back I posted a message that the oil commodity prices were going up and the last time oil was about $90, gas went to over $4.00. Do you think there is less oil out there? The last time gas prices increased that much, oil companies reported record profits and Bush was president. Hmmm. Republicans have the House. I think I will go buy some oil stock. ...

I cannot believe it. I had hardly any pain yesterday except after the drops were put in and today I can see to read quite a lot, not fine print, but can read this board and some other things.
