Tim Davis, a Comcast customer and YouTube user, is the latest to go public with his tale of injustice at the hands of the cable company's customer service agents.
Yesterday, Davis posted a 14-minute video detailing how the company promised him he wouldn't be charged for something, charged him anyway, and then refused to undo the charges until Davis revealed that he had recorded the initial call.
"What have we learned today? Well for one thing, always record your calls with big companies," Davis says in the end of the video.

Rising 7,000 feet above the town of Jackson Hole in Wyoming, the Teton Mountain Range, while only about 40 miles long, is a dramatic sight. Standing out among the peaks is Grand Teton, towering at 13,770 feet. I set out with five friends in an attempt to free solo it.
In 1974, director Godfrey Reggio produced a series of public service announcements for the New Mexico Civil Liberties Union that were two parts "art house" and one part "makes u think."

This weekend, Microsoft quietly launched SNIPP3T for the iPhone, an app that grabs news and information on the internet about celebrities. As it turns out, it comes from Microsoft's Bing team in an effort to expand the search service's influence beyond the web browser.
Microsoft says that, according to their data, 86 percent of all mobile users interact with the Internet with apps with the other 14 percent via web browsers. A four person team at Microsoft's Beijing office created SNIPP3T with the goal to show that Bing's data could be used in this kind of format. Microsoft team member , Donald Soog stated, "We're showing here that we can actually use the existing data that we have and then put it into maybe a slightly different skin, an app experience, and then provide an awesome experience to a user."
Microsoft's blog posts hints that SNIPP3T will come to other platforms besides the iPhone. Alisher Saydalikhodjayev, one of the company's Bing Product Marketing Manager, also hints that the reason the iPhone was targeted first for the app was to go after the iPhone's larger audience, saying, "We're no longer just an OS company. We're evolving into more of a services and cloud company. And within services you have to go after users."
What do you think of Microsoft's plans to expand Bing with apps that uses its data?

So many design awards seek to honor the smartest, the prettiest, the most innovative or responsible or sustainable. The Dead Prize, announced this week, wants to honor the worst—the very, very worst—that design has to offer.
Exactly 80 years ago today, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary officially opened its gates to some of America's most violently incorrigible criminals—after all, it was the most escape-proof prison ever built. Escape-proof, that is, for everyone except three prisoners in 1962 and their trusty arsenal of brilliant, hacked-together gadgets.
