A rant on company contacts and mobile glitches
Why do companies insist on making it difficult to contact them?[[MORE]]
So many companies (especially primarily internet companies, but many others too) don’t publish a nice simple email address that I can use to contact them. This is annoying.
When I’ve got a problem, I’ll normally do a fair amount of research/troubleshooting before contacting them. Often, this information...

Outrageous
From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19620627:
Mr Gibbs went on: “If he had known then what he now knows about the circumstances, everybody’s movements and Mr Tomlinson’s health, he would have used no force, let alone the force that he did use.”
If you are using force, that, depending on someone’s health, should not be use, then you shouldn’t use it ever, since...

Epic fridge fail
I just went to get a drink out of my fridge, and was rather surprised to find that the can was warm.
Not warm as in “hasn’t chilled yet”. Warm as in “why is my fridge HEATING STUFF?”
On closer inspection, found that only the top shelf was acting at a heater - the lower shelves were still cool. Also discovered that the light was rather hot, so I’m guessing the...

Seriously @steam_games / @steam_support? I’ve got quite a few games which are cross-platform for Windows/Mac. They appear as a single entry in my games list. This is fine.
I don’t own a Mac. I have no intention of buying a Mac.
So, why do I now have two extra entries in my game list for “GTA 3: San Andreas Mac” and GRA 3: Vice City Mac” ? What’s the point...

Google Authenticator + Cyanogen = Broken
If you’re running Cyanogen on your android and you use Google Authenticator, be careful when it offers to update. Mine ended up force closing on every start.
This could obviously become a problem once you need to authenticate again.
Thankfully, someone’s already figured out the problem.

Well, isn't that nice. Thanks @virginmedia
So, I just got though the post a “tickle” (what most people would call an offer) from Virgin Media.
They’re offering me unlimited access to music on demand services “for free throughout December”.
Great. Except, (a) I don’t overly care for music on demand and (b) it arrived on the 19th. I’m not convinced it counts as “throughout December”...
