REMINDER: Microsoft’s Free Support For Windows XP Ends Today

Posted by Bradley under Technology

People love and continue to love Windows XP but Microsoft is ending free support for its most popular OS beginning today.

That means if you HAVE to call up Microsoft for a problem with XP you will have to shell out your hard earned money to talk to somebody.

Office 2003 also leaves mainstream support tomorrow.

But never fear your automatic updates and security patches will continue on until April 8, 2014.

FREE MONEY: ANY Sprint Customer Can Get $90 or $35 From A New Class Action Lawsuit

Posted by Bradley under Free, Personal

If you were a Sprint customer between 1999-2008 and terminated your contract (and were charged an ETF Fee) you can score an easy $90!

Or if you “were afraid to cancel your contract” you can grab $35.

Everyone wins.

NOTE: This trick requires you to select the “Did you remain a customer to avoid paying the ETF for which you were not charged?” option to qualify.

Whether or not the above is true is ultimately on your conscience.

Posted by Bradley under Movies, Technology

Leave it to Fatty McFatfat Michael Moore to break into the world of digital film distribution.

On September 23, his latest, Slacker Uprising will be available to download for free for three weeks only.

It tells the tale of Moore’s 2004 multi-city tour through America’s swing states to rally the youth vote.

After that you have to buy it from Amazon or rent it from Netflix.

Chris Carter.  Please.  Bring the X-Files to the tubes where it belongs.
