Better not abandon that SHOPPING CART

So, you click on something you want to order. Only 99¢, you get to the checkout and 78.89 for SHIPPING . No thanks. But what if the website ALREADY has your bank account number and the "routing" number for your checks? THEY can write themselves in from here to Silicone Valley.

"Digital Cash?" aka Dwolla? You have been warned!

Hmmm, how could this work?

PC World wrote the following about a scam where malware gets into your computer, then demands a "fine" for viewing child pornography on the internet.

Google BAITS AND SWITCHES

For the past couple years I've been using PICASA, Google's photo sharing site. I pay $5 a year for extra storage. Now Google says the price increases... by 600%!!  Before $5 a year... now $2.49--- a month!!!!
They get you hooked with their program, and then jack up the prices... OK, I've got some deleting to do to keep under the 1G FREE minimum. Until I find a new host, that is!

Walmart pulls a dirty trick?

And even more pride

This label is from a can of Star Snacks Peanuts. Check out the MADE WITH PRIDE!

And the Puritans Are Proud?

Sometimes I order my vitamins  from a mail order company called PURITAN'S PRIDE. They often have a special where they sell three bottles for the price of one. How can they do that? By only filling the bottles a third of the way!! After this picture-- that shows the contents of ONE BOTTLE-- I combined all three into one.
