The Hidden-Fee Economy
Living in the Hidden-Fee Economy “… how many people realize, when they walk out of CompUSA, a nice $99 inkjet model tucked under their arm, that it’s likely they’ve just committed themselves to spending nearly $1,500 on ink cartridges over the...‘The Coolness’
This Article on Keanu Reeves is about as close as you can come to a really good film paper published in Slate. It has all of the good elements of an academic paper and is entertaining… which is sometimes the hardest thing to do. I wish more academic papers could...Whore Presents
Unintentionally hirarious website domains. Ha. Think before you register…Review of Scanner Darkly, A
