I don't normally go to Starbucks on weekends, but I will need to make a special trip this Saturday
Moms group sets 'Skip Starbucks Saturday' boycott for August 24
A group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is trying to pressure Starbucks to change its current policy which allows customers to carry loaded guns into its stores in states where that's permitted. The Moms are urging Starbucks customers to boycott the coffee giant this Saturday...
The OP's logic is beyond me. They have less to fear from law abiding gun owners than all the criminals running around out there with unlicensed guns.
Smokers offend me. They think they are exercising their rights as smokers but their rights as smokers ends when the smoke leaves their pie-hole and enters my nostrils. Their rights as smokers also ends when they toss their ash and butts on the ground and furniture or out of the car window, turning the place into a trash dump.
Starbucks bans smoking within 25 feet of stores
I say: Good! Starbucks Gossip reader George Edmonson says: "I was flabbergasted today when I saw an announcement at my local Starbucks informing patrons that as of June 1 all Starbucks would go smoke free in and around the buildings. The notice cited existing and possible laws. And that was what...
No, I think that that is the opinion of a lot of people.
The only other reason to install Silverlight is to watch NBC's Olympics coverage online. I think that does, or did before, require Silverlight.
Oatmeal Survey on Why We Still Bother to Install Silverlight
The Oatmeal posted the results of a survey (of at least one person) on why we still bother to install Silverlight: via ParisLemon.
Although Reed Hastings has done all he can in the past couple years to run Netflix into the ground -- Quikster, anyone? -- with the involvement of Carl Icahn, Netflix is doomed.
I'm not saying that Icahn won't make a profit from dismantling the company and selling the assets to competitors or to someone who has no business being in the business. Dish buying Blockbuster, anyone? Icahn will make a profit but we the customers will lose.
So What Has Happened Now that Carl Icahn Owns Almost 10% of Netflix?
It figured Carl Icahn would pick the week of a hurricane and then a nor'easter to purchase 10% of Netflix, because it's caused a storm at Netflix HQ. First the news breaks that Carl Icahn has purchased 9.98% of Netflix, and the stock jumps. Home Media Magazine reported that a Netflix spokespers...
Yawn! Of course he's going to give away half of his wealth when he shuffles off his mortal coil. It's not called the Death Tax for nothing. Thanks to Marxists/Progressives, EVERYONE gives away half of their wealth when they reach room temperature.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings Pledges to Give Away Half of His Wealth
CNN Money reports that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has joined 91 billionaires pledging to give away half of his wealth. The Giving Pledge, started by Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet, has encouraged billionaires to pledge half of their wealth to charity. "We are thrilled to join with other ...
As long as the end result is that Netflix has to update it's 1st gen Roku app, I support the lawsuit.
I see no reason why I should have to buy a brand new 2nd gen Roku JUST so I can get CC on Netflix. I see no reason why the 1st gen Roku can't be updated to display CC.
Netflix Releases Statement Regarding Streaming Caption Lawsuit Setback
Netflix responded to the recent denial of dismissal in the captions lawsuit with the following statement: “Netflix has always been committed to making its content accessible to members of the deaf and hard of hearing community. More than 80% of the hours streamed in the US are movies and TV sho...
Wait, what? I thought SBUX K-Cups were already available at Bed Bath & Beyond and grocery stores?
Starbucks to start selling K-Cups in stores
Starbucks will start selling single-serve K-Cup coffee pods of one medium- and one dark-roast blend for Keurig brewers in some of its stores beginning Tuesday, and will add more blends in July. The 12-count packs will sell for $11.95. Starbucks plans to add the Blonde roast, a second dark roast ...
