Vegas.com, what you should know.

I had some dealings with Vegas.com recently. Here are a couple issues I ran into which shed some light on the downside of using them. 1. Once you buy tickets for a show, you’re stuck. I tried to push back the show to a later time a couple days before, and I had a lot [...]

Yahoo Mail

Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail more recently? It seems like a bad idea for Yahoo to not be on the top of their game right now. And am I alone in thinking that their new mail Beta is just too damn slow? Shaun mentioned they should be using comet instead of AJAX. Sounds [...]
