Sites Worth Seeing

Here’s a first edition to Sites Worth Seeing.  These are some of the sites I check daily or damn close to it.

1. CNet.com’s The Cheapskate.  Daily posts on some good tech deals.
2. Woot.com.  One deal a day.  Always pretty random stuff, sometimes some awesome deals.
3. Shirt.woot.com.  See above description.
4. Sellout.woot.com.  See above description.
5. news.google.com.  Computer generated news aggregation site.  Can be slanted, usually pretty good.
6. PCmag.com.  Awesome computer and tech site.  Pretty good commentary by the writers, as well.
7. live.twit.tv.  The TWIT podcasts are great for tech and computers, so why not watch them recorded live?

Stay tuned.  More to come later.

Another Reason AT&T Sucks

In an attempt to solidify their position as douches, AT&T has now made a corporate policy that users with smartphones that are not paying for the smartphone package must start paying for one as of September 6th.  AT&T reasoning?  They want people with smartphones to pay for the possibility that they might use the AT&T data network.  Want to buy an unlocked smartphone and use it with a regular, non-smartphone plan?  Too bad if AT&T catches you.  They will go ahead and start charging you for one.

Check the link for more information from PCMag.  This one will definitely be on the next edition of This Is Just BS.

Edit: Information Week has another story about this.

This Is Just BS introduction

Hello,
Welcome to the site that is all about the show, This Is Just BS, hosted by Brad and Scott.  This site is to be a supplemental resource to the show where you can find links to some of the topics we talk about, when there are topics, and other interesting things that we may find during the week.  To say this is in its alpha release is to give it too much credit, so don’t expect too much yet.  Hit us up in the comments if you have something to say.
