CNET is reporting a SquareTrade story that contends that Blackberry handsets are less resilient than the iPhone.The study was conducted by SquareTrade and looked at the 15,000 mobile handsets for which they provided warranties. They compared the repair data of Blackberries, iPhones, and Palm Treo devices and found that the iPhone came out on top.Now, I read this article on a couple of different

RSS Feeds created via Google are not working right now. Now, I could go to the website's whose RSS feeds I subscribe to and read their content there but instead I will gripe about how this service is unavailable.Whenever these things happen, it reminds me how much we depend on -- sometimes unreliable -- internet services... and mostly provided by one company! I am definitely a Google whore. My

Sort of continuing from my last post, it seems that popular electronics retailer Circuit City is filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. According to reports, Circuit City will be laying off about 20% of its workforce.In other financial news, the WSJ is reporting that Citibank is buying "a bank." They have no word on the name of the bank except that most of its branches are in Texas and

First, I'd like to say congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama! Bravo on a truly heart-felt acceptance speech and a campaign that was fought the right way.Speaking of change, rumor has it that layoffs are coming to the techies and VC firms are drying up. Seeing as how I'm thinking of leaving "The BIG Job," this makes for an uneasy time to be looking to move. The bug seems to be

I landed "The BIG Job" just about 4 months ago. This job is my first corporate experience with a major company (one of the largest in this particular industry). And now I can't stand it.This isn't what I had in mind when I started. I was hoping this was the place where I could stay for more than 2 years and really get my career going. This place is where careers end and jobs begin.How did I

Last weekend I watched a preview video for Wii Fit and was more thoroughly convinced that I needed to own the game the very second it came out here in the United States.I should probably mention that in the last year and 6 months, I've lost 47 pounds. I haven't really found a consistent exercise that I can do near daily -- and I've tried quite a few. I always get bored after some time with my

Hello! Welcome to a blog which I hope will appeal to all other geek ladies out in the blogosphere (though I despise the word "blogosphere" with every inch of my 5 foot 6 being...). I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself.I've been a geek for as long as I can remember. When I was just a little girl, I spent my days and nights editing "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" files on an old Gateway
