NBC Olympics 2012 TV Coverage

NBC Olympics 2012 TV Coverage

The technical and production aspects of NBC 2012 Olympics coverage was most impressive – very professional.  But, the dunderheads that set the programming schedule were way deficient if not dragging their knuckles across the floor.  I could not see any reason to wait until 8PM to view “live” coverage (West coast California).  We all know by now that live means “live” for NBC because of their insisting on providing tape delay.  I equate tape delay as “cover your ass” ploy…

T-Mobile Handset Insurance

T-Mobile Handset Insurance

Problems with Amazon.com

I purchased a men’s cologn from Amazon.com.  The actual shipper turned out to be some small apartment business run by an alleged student. The item shipped was a less than half size. I purchased a cell phone application.  I had to remove my cell phone cover to reveal the model number to specify the correct software.   Upon placing the cover back on, I noticed that a second software was selected as as a future purchase.  I tried hit the…
