Ticketmaster is an evil monopoly that steals cash from defenseless consumers. They are infinitely more evil than their hated 30% surcharge would suggest, and they must be destroyed. A Modern Monopoly Did you know you aren't Ticketmaster's primary customer? Sure, you and your friends bought 141 million tickets last year, but Ticketmaster's loyalty belongs to their true customers: venues and promoters. Ticketmaster secures its monopoly by goading them into multi-year agreements that empower Ticketmaster to ...

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is no software produced by Nokia and aimed at helping S60’s interaction with any Linux OS. And by “no software”, we mean NONE, ZERO, NADA. Heh, Mac owners can smile now, at least they got something! As for Linux users, well, maybe Nokia was trying no to invest its resources there, but rely on the community to come up with solutions.

You announce to your friends or family that you’re planning yet another trip. Instead of being excited or even plain jealous, these people just look at you quizzically, totally unable to comprehend why you would want to go away again, and especially to a place they’ve barely heard of or can’t imagine in their entire lives ever wanting to visit. These are people who don’t understand the travel bug. I’m guessing there are quite a ...

Among the dozen plus iPhone RSS apps out there, Byline (an iPhone app developed by Phantom Fish) separates itself from the pack in two ways: its steep price (at $10) and its ability to flawlessly sync with Google Reader. (Update: Milo of Phantom Fish contacted me with some good news regarding the price. See the bottom of the post for details.) While version 1.0 left me underwhelmed (and $10 poorer), Byline 2.0 (which is currently ...
