Ammyy Scam
Yesterday afternoon (October 1, 2011) I got a call from a fellow with a heavy Indian accent, telling me he was from the Windows Centre, and that they’d noticed my computer was running slower and slower every day. But not to fear: within 10 minutes, if I followed his directions, we would be able to…

Podcasts We Love
I’ve been giving my mom my castoff MP3 players. Recently I bought my parents His & Her’s iPod Nano’s. New ones even. And that’s when Mom discovered the joy of podcasts.

Harper Giveth (to the commercial broadcasters), And Harper Taketh (from the CBC)
Our favourite moron is giving $150 million to private broadcasters, but is forcing the CBC to decimate its workforce by some 800 heads. If we had any doubts of the Harper government’s agenda to put down the CBC, they’ve now been put to rest.
