This is just perfect.

Who says being engaged is all that? The biggest upside is being left alone, once people spot a ring on your left hand. Whether you're trying to dodge dodgy dudes at the bar, heading to a reunion or visiting your nagging grandmother, slip on your Ms.Taken ring and act as if. It says committed, without the commitment.

Check out MsTaken.com otherwise known as Ms. Taken. I saw this site and just had to share it. Great for a good giggle.

This what happens when you put a tag cloud on your Customer Support page. Major fail.

There's a new Consumer Reports survey out that ranks cellphone companies by customer satisfaction, and to pretty much no one's surprise, AT&T comes in last in all 19 cities surveyed. (Verizon came in first.) As AllThingsD notes, the survey "suggests that AT&T’s shortcomings are more widespread than the carrier would have us believe and not simply the product of a high concentration of iPhones in the country’s larger cities."

With low marks for several key indicators of customer satisfaction-including service availability, circuit capacity, dropped-call frequency and voice service-across 73 percent of the markets Consumer Reports surveyed, it’s pretty clear that AT&T has become overextended by the popularity of the iPhone.

Well surely this will serve as a wake-up call to AT&T, right? Nope. They responded to AllThingsD with the most awful marketing speak you can imagine, saying they appreciate the feedback but that it's from a self-selected group of respondents and purely anecdotal. Even more important, they note, "Without question the surest indication of customer satisfaction is churn, or turnover. For the last quarter, our postpaid churn was just 1.17 percent." Interesting, because I thought putting everyone into contract was responsible for reducing churn.

P.S. I have AT&T and I don't hate them, but I don't love them either. They are in the same category as lentil soup and sit ups on a bouncy ball. It's just ehhhh.

Ok, this article is pretty ridiculous. The Sun Times reports that a woman was arrested for filming her sister's birthday party. Her sister happened to be standing in front of the new Twilight Sequel New Moon during the video. The woman was arrested and could face three years in prison. Oh, brilliant.
